This is the truth about the past 60+ years of struggle in the U.S. A CLASS war has been perpetrated on the American people, intentionally, by those with power and wealth of influence - done politically, socially, culturally, and financially. The "marketing" strategy was a success. We lost.

People who say "I don't want politics in my media" actually mean "I don't want *those* politics." We want to be affirmed, not challenged.

And tbh, I get it. Life is hard, and not everything has to be a point of contention. But life could be less hard, and we don't get there with apathy.

Know this about Facebook.
And remember Facebook knows more about you than you know about yourself, even if you are not a member.
And remember how Facebook creates its income - by selling you to whomever is ready to pay.

Or how about lots of people register as Republicans regardless to skew the gerrymandering but actually vote Democrat?
(I must admit I don't really understand the American election system )

Well, I suppose their job is actually to make money for their shareholders, which hard to do if the government shuts them down, which this government will likely do.

So also do not vote in primaries.
The two party system by its nature leads to these abuses.
I'm Canadian by the way. And our first past the post multi-party system had its faults and weaknesses.
I believe a preferential voting system would go a long way to creating a more civil discourse.

Reminds me that someone once quipped that she looked forward to the day when the military had to run bake sales to finance themselves.

Absolutely. THAT is the honest headline.

You're right. This type of 'balanced reporting just feeds the lie.

Surely this shows the folly of having voters register their political affiliation.
If the majority would resign their affiliation gerrymandering would become much more difficult, as would this sort of vindictive use of power.

Cancelled overhaul of OCDSB elementary programs divides parents | CBC News A surprise announcement that the supervisor of Ottawa’s largest school board will cancel a contentious elementary program review has divided parents and prompted an outcry from both sidelined trustees...

This is the real reason that Doug Ford appointed Robert Plamondon (who has NO experience in education) to oversee the Ottawa Carleton District School Board.
Just like the speed camera fiasco.
He never lets the facts influence his opinions and policies.

Dominion, voting firm targeted by false 2020 election claims, sold to new owner Company, which reached $787.5m defamation settlement with Fox News, becomes new entity called Liberty Vote

Call me an Conspiracy Theorist but
one has to wonder if this shift in ownership of the voting machine technology to a Republican will allow the creation of a real 'back door' to be used by Project 2925 to rig the vote.

Any law is useless if the judicial system AND the politicians lack the backbone to enforce them.
The USA has the laws, but no one has the courage to apply them.
