I am critical of a lot, especially MSM and government.
The history of dissedence, our civil rights activists, and many more has something to do with my views on this.
My views may change a bit when I check independent journalists and independent media, as well as owner-class media.
Word of the day, for me!
Lol, no I mean this

IMO:
Thanks for another owner-class media article.
"Far-right" and "Far-left" American influencers.
I wonder which journalists in MSM get propped up by the owner-class; it seems many like to follow the status quo, whether they are "left" or "right" leaning.
If you're just gonna dismiss every media outlet because you don't like the words they use, read the indictment. Tim pool and Dave rubin and friends are literally russian mouthpieces no matter who says it.
Edit: added sentences below quote
I am not dismissing it, I am just pointing it who funds and controls them.
Billionaires and corporations continue to buy up media.
They say this about the "far left" and the "far right", I am critical of these talking points.
Yeah, they accuse them because they spew russian talking points all the time. This is different because they discovered that the company that pays them was actually founded by 2 RT employees. Literally. Actually. Russian. State. Funded.
IMO: These are just more status quo fascists pushing for censorship of dissent, using another excuse to limit our first amendment rights.
