Olga Lautman: So I have stayed away from cable news the past few days and turned on CNN for a few seconds.

Very fitting that they were discussing if Trump will use authoritarian tactics to silence media.

Maybe they should have thought about that before gaslighting Americans and whitewashing Trump. Enjoy dictatorship

There are so many who failed us but media is on top of my list. They saw this all as a game. Ratings and both sidesism were top priority. They will soon find out the damage they did to this country

1. Remember his last time

Chaos reigned in his reign and there were all sorts of leaks. He threatened the leakers with prison and he threatened the writers with jail to reveal sources

[geardaddy]

2. And nothing will happen to any of them

They will brown nose their way into TSF's good graces. It is we who will bear the brunt of this.

[barbtries]

3. and we will all suffer along together.

I have stayed away from just about all but DU. Not ready, maybe never will be...I don't know right now. I had given up on cable news years ago, not all that many years, but yeah.

Tops of my list for blame: republicans and their incessant propaganda machines. they share the stage with the American people who voted for this clusterfuck.

[Joinfortmill]

4. Yup. Fuck them, too.

5. Why I cancelled The Washington Post and The New York Times

Working on cancelling Amazon as well.

[Evolve Dammit]

6. Me too, on the latter especially

[stage left]

8. I have a giftcard from Amazon

I'm cashing it out and then I'm done. Going to find a way to buy things locally. Def planning on doing that for Christmas. I'm a decent artist and quilter. I hope enough of us do that to make a tiny dent.

[LisaM]

12. Yes, same.

If I don't use it, Amazon will "win", so I am using it up, but I mostly use it for out of print books.

7. The MSM better start worrying because

he intends to harass them any which way he can with new libel laws or to have his minions do his dirty work. They will reap what they have sown.

9. Crap

they are "normalizing" autocracy. Just like what they did with the felon. Sick.

[kimbutgar]

10. Personally I have saying that but they continued fawning over the orange Caligula

I haven’t watched since Tuesday night when I got the 2016 flashback and knew he was going to win.

I take it literally now that they’ll be firing squads of his political enemies and there is no longer a guardrail since he controls all 3 branches now.

[malaise]

11. It was never a game for M$Greedia

It was and is amoney making business. Democracy be damned

[Cha]

13. Boom! TY & Olga Lautman.
