The handful of media companies are such conglomerat that lawmakers could affect their businesses in multiple ways, so they are too afraid to call out an administration willing to retaliate.

All of them though, even the New York Times gave up preemptively even though I do not think they are a conglomerate. I think Israel broke their brain. And or their editor and owners were fucking children with Epstein.

The NYT has been broken for a hundred years. They published pro-Hitler, anti-Jewish articles during WWII as well. More recently, they were informed 24 hours in advance of the kidnapping of Maduro (along with the Washington Post) and sat on that information.

Oh no, the US's military strikes now have press-only events, information embargoes, and street dates like it's the damned video game industry?

No, this was a leak that they sat on.

The MSM is SHIT. They only offer pathetically whitewashed generalities.
The Medias Touch , Anonymous News , Belle of the Ranch and Occupy Democrats are a good places to start. Jimmy Kimmel , Steven Colbert , Trae Crowder and Seth Myers are humorously informative reliefs from the dark situation we are at today.
