I don’t see how that’s relevant. The point is that they are all lying to us all the time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=34LGPIXvU5M

But actually, yes, she has. Jen Psaki Defends Successor’s ‘Stolen Election’ Tweets Before Her Last Day as White House Press Secretary

Just another revolving door Friday. They* hired Jen Psaki two years go, who was Obama’s & Biden’s political advisor & press secretary.

The capitalist class owns & controls corporate media and effectively controls the state. It’s one big club, and you ain’t in it.

Which is why we need to reinvent the labor media that we lost.

*They meaning Comcast, which owns MSNBC and NBC News.

I’ve been on the internet since before it had ads and have never once intentionally clicked on one. These days I always have at least one ad blocker running, so I never see them.

New TrueAnon Rule: Never entrust the US Treasury with more than you can afford to lose.

The overwhelmingly more significant threat is that US corporate social media are integrated with the propaganda machinery of the US government and the capitalist class. The purpose of things like Alliance for Securing Democracy’s Hamilton 68 and the Disinformation Governance Board is not to protect us from foreign influence but for the “intelligence community” to inject its own influence.

• Facebook Partners With Hawkish Atlantic Council, a NATO Lobby Group, to “Protect Democracy”
• Jessica Ashooh: The taming of Reddit and the National Security State Plant tabbed to do it
• A Reddit AMA Claiming To Be A Uyghur Quickly Exposes A CIA Asset Slandering China
• r/neoliberal was created by a neoliberal think tank » BPR Interviews: The Neoliberal Project

.

They have their eye on the fediverse now as well: Atlantic Council » Collective Security in a Federated World

This is all an extension of how traditional corporate media works, which has been understood for decades:

• Michael Parenti, 1986: Inventing Reality: The Politics Of The Mass Media
• Edward Herman & Noam Chomsky, 1988: Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media.
