And then you get absolute shit eaters like Rupert Murdoch that started in the 'News' business when his dad carked it and left him a small local rag in South Australia to where he is now...a fucking prick whose own son disowned him for evil ways.

As bad as American media is, the UK's might even be more cursed. Here's a "fair and balanced" newscaster blaming railway union members for their current strike.
This bloke did an amazing job pushing back on the fake news media. It takes two to tango. I notice the media, on both sides of the pond, never asks the bosses "why don't you just raise pay and improve working conditions to bring this strike to an end?" Nope. They always harangue the workers to simply cave and accept whatever peanuts the bosses are offering.
Why is that? Because every newscaster represents the bosses. That's who signs their paychecks. That's who's buying advertising on their networks. That's who they will always shill for. Something to keep in mind when you watch the news to be "informed".

The lil "Democracy Dies in Darkness" is
And we already gave elites the biggest say in who becomes President by letting them buy every media operation in the country. So they can run articles like "wars make US richer and safer". And they do make them richer, because they all own Raytheon stock. And safer, because they can use the income from that stock to hire more private security.

If my friends and family had 25 million to risk on a 20 year old's business idea, I wouldn't need a "side hustle".

That is the most hilarious headline I have seen. Luckily it is making fun of the fact that billionaires don't understand why people don't worship them (and from 2019): https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...iticizing-billionaires-new-wearing-blackface/Jeff Bezos sure got his money's worth out of buying this rag

Yeah it looks like I got bamboozled a bit. This isn't quite on the level of their "Why the Billionaire Space Race Is Good For Everyone" op-eds.
It's some very mild billionaire criticism/mocking. And I'm totally baffled as to why they brought up blackface at all now having read the whole thing.
I think Bezos owning a newspaper every politician in Washington reads is a better example of billionaires buying power than the Starbucks union-busting CEO running for President for like a month 4 years ago, but what do I know.

This is an old gem. Dutch Historian Rutger Bregman was invited on Tucker Carlson's show. Bregman brought up the fact that Tucker is a millionaire, paid by a billionaire to advocate for the interests of the 1%, all while pretending to fight against "the globullist elite". In other words, a complete fraud. Tucker didn't take kindly to this.
It's amazing that this tough guy couldn't take, frankly very fair, criticism without turning into a whiny little bitch and telling Bregman to go fuck himself. I guess he struck a nerve.
It was nice to see someone attempting to explain this cartoon to the Fox audience. Shame the cowards wouldn't air it. Pretty anti-free speech and a little cancel culturish, TBH.

If these are the scumbags Forbes chose to put on their covers, you can safely assume everyone on their 400 person list is also a grifting scam artist. We should totally keep writing every rule and regulation in society to benefit those 400 grifters over everyone else. Anything else is doing a communism.
