      This one, where others already bend the knee for other reasons and right wing outlets already enjoy freedom.

      Every headline is clickbait nowadays. Has to be, I guess. Jacobin doesn’t seem to be fluent in clickbait, but anyhow they’re one of the good ones.

      News broadcast giants that have curried favor with President Donald Trump and disseminated right-wing talking points are now urging the administration to eliminate rules holding back their monopolization of local and national TV stations

      “…eliminate even the last rules…”

      As Trump continues his crackdown on media outlets that he considers a threat, experts warn that ending the broadcast ownership caps could erode local news’ trustworthiness by allowing their parent companies to push highly partisan news stories.

      Again: as if that wasn’t happening already. But still: this could be the fatal blow.

      I heard other news stories about this btw. Sane people are concerned and try to draw the public’s attention to this issue.

    Someone should out a bias monitor on Trump. Just kidding, its so obvious we dont need it. He wants to snuff out democratic voices and only allow authoritarian ones.
