Local news that's really still part of bigger giant corporate legit tried to muddy the news this morning by showing a report about an unrelated killing in the area, glossed over this story WITH the bs lie DHS spouted, and then proceeded to talk about yet another related crime back to back.... honestly pathetic. All these news outlets, journalists, etc that aren't outright calling out Trump and ICE are basically allowing it. Fucking cowards.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I was talking to a friend about his the other day, and he said he likes to get his news from "the left and the right" to get the "full story."
He said there are far fewer right-wing news sources, and that he doubted I could even name three. I had no issue naming a dozen, and I could have kept going.
Corporate media, by it's very nature, is right-wing. They will never advocate for the workers owning the networks or overturning the status quo. There are no "mainstream" leftist news sources in the US.
Some people get twisted into knots when you refer to NPR as Nice Polite Republicans
Corporate Media Advances Conservative Narrative About Literally Everything.
Support independent media
Recommend status coup
Billionaire media, not corporate media. It's easier to hate billionaires than it is to hate corporations. Corporations have been made to be defined as "a person" due to the billionaires owning the lawmakers and now a lot of folks are looking in the wrong direction. The dark cabal sitting behind it all are the "shareholders", which are mostly the same billionaires. It's crazy!
Corporate media (on the phone): Somali what? Is that a new gender? African... Tone grows somber. That changes everything.
Give me a few minutes. I have some YouTubers to call.
When do you think the MAGAts bitching about the media will notice that they're eating their own shit?
I don't see anything in there that substantially challenges the facts presented in the New York Times coverage being criticized.
