We need to demand more of the media

Google Elon "one word" and look up news.

https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=115fbc7a5c2d88aa&q=elon+%22one+word%22&tbm=nws

These are actual news headlines about separate events:

"Elon Musk's one-word response to Zuckerberg"

"Elon Musk's one-word response to Indian-origin CEO's green card query sparks debate on US immigration"

"Elon Musk’s one-word tweet that drops huge hint he and Nigel Farage are friends again"

"Elon Musk's one-word take on alarming population decline in India and China"

"Elon Musk reacts in one-word to Sundar Pichai's comment on Jasprit Bumrah's batting prowess against Australia"

"Elon Musk’s one-word take on Dalai Lama’s controversial immigration stance fuels online debate"

"El Salvador President shares the country's Bitcoin success; gets this 'one-word' reply from Elon Musk"

"MrBeast says Elon Musk had an ‘interesting’ one word response when they first met"

"Elon Musk's one-word-response to Jeff Bezos' ex-wife MacKenzie Scott's billion-dollar donations"

...

Here's my two-word response, gonna write up a full article on that, media?

Jesus Christ.

Problem is, it's not just right-wing... the media is just degrading in quality. We went from "Obama/Biden said 'uh...' in a speech. Failed leadership! They don't know what they're talking about! Resign now!!!!" to "Elon Musk said one word. One word, people! The Oracle of Musk has spoken!!!!!!" And that isn't just right-wing media.

They serve their masters and have been for the last 40 years. We don’t pay their bills, the rich folks do.
The only power we have is the off button.

After Biden was elected I tried again but within a year of constant "old man Biden" garbage I gave up and tuned out again. I've simply accepted that major media has no interest in informing anyone of anything. Their ONLY interest now is ratings, because ratings brings profit.

I don't know how the Democratic party gets heard through the din of the circus. That's something that has to be figured out.
