@Briosification Fair enough. If you're just talking about it in theory, then yes, that's how the news in America should be. However, that's not how it actually works for any ideological group in American media. I would also say that the people doing the "Bernie blackout" were not motivated by what would make the country better, they were motivated by what is in the best interests of the company they work for. Bernie Sanders, in no uncertain terms, said he would raise taxes on the rich & corporations, limit the power of corporations & lobbyists, & even go as far as breaking up companies & banks that are "too big to fail". The media companies that were trying to extinguish a leftist movement were doing so out of pure greed & desperation to hold onto power to keep the workers poor & the rich rich. You can make the argument that the MAGA people think they're trying to make society "better", but the problem is that the media apparatus they get their news from are still bought & owned by corporate oligarchs who shovel bullshit to them & have genuinely convinced poor workers that it's in their best interests to cut taxes to billionaires & corporations, have a healthcare system based on greed & financial privilege, & that if the stock market is doing well, they will magically do well & it will trickle down onto them. What your alluding to is kind of the entire problem with American media & why when you watch someone like David & he says he's trying to make things "better", you can be sure he actually means it & he's talking about looking out for the people in America who don't own yachts & 10 mansions. If you genuinely think it's a bad thing he's trying to prioritize his stories in a way that helps society get to a better place, then you haven't been paying attention to just how truly fucked this country is.
