The Economist blamed the Irish Genocide on the Irish, made excuses for Slavery too.
Perhaps we shouldn't listen to them, even though it makes us look all grown up when we do.
Remember, we're all the terrorists for not wanting this shit in our lives, how dare we!

The #FCC, led by its chairman, #BrendanCarr, called for an unusual, early review of the broadcast licenses last spring, citing ABC’s internal diversity & inclusion practices. None of the #ABC licenses, which have terms of 8 years, were up for renewal yet. Carr’s decision came after the ABC late-night host, #JimmyKimmel, angered #Trump with a monologue joke.

#ABC owns & operates 8 local stations that carry its programming across the country, including in major markets like NY, LA & Chicago. Like all local stations, they can only operate with licenses controlled by the #FCC.
ABC’s lawsuit asks a federal judge to halt the early review of its licenses on the grounds that it violates the #FirstAmendment.

#Trump’s personal attacks on #journalists have been a defining feature of his combative approach to the #press. Though he has criticized reporters throughout his political career, his critiques of #women journalists, particularly from #CNN, have grown more heated in recent months. And the admin has increasingly used official #WhiteHouse social media accounts to escalate what might once have been spur-of-the-moment exchanges.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jeffjarvis/117057211021418357
so any journalist working for USA Today can be legitimately accused of being a spy. the new journalists-as-spies will be working for a company owned by self-proclaimed enemies of democracy, who makes money supplying stalkerware and spycraft to their network of oligarchs and their puppet neofascist governments.
well done, oh bastion of the free American press.
may your journos never become military targets
