Quote from: "cc"Actually, some of the worse and most effective are our relatively new high tech monopolists +  press owners



Far more effective than simply giving money for the cause .. they have the opportunity to control the flow of information .. enhancing what suits them and killing what does not suit them

Never have the very wealthy had this much control over our lives.

They represent the biggest threat to Western liberty and democracy.

Agreed. .. With the control of news and other platforms all on one side, there is no semblance of democracy anymore ..  Democracy is over.+



To Fash: True. Lets keep in mind that it's not just "wealth" now.



Now it's because some hold and control the vehicles of communication after monopolizing each's own specific area  ... whether it be internet or TV

The myth is that billionaires want more money. They want CONTROL.

Here's an interesting read - made especially significant because it is from the NYT who wish him dead



https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/07/upshot/trump-approval-rating-rise.html?emc=rss&partner=rss&smid=tw-nytpolitics&smtyp=cur">Don't Assume Trump's Approval Rating Can't Climb Higher. It Already Has.



Donald J. Trump doesn't always seem like a candidate focused on expanding his base of support. He may have done so anyway.



The share of Americans who say they have a favorable view of him has increased significantly since the 2016 election.



Trump's Favorability Rating Is Higher Than in 2016

His personal favorability ratings surged after he won the presidency, and they haven't fallen back. ...............



........................



One common view of the 2020 election, for instance, takes 2016 as a starting point. It notes that Democrats fell just short of victory, and that therefore any number of changes — a better candidate, higher black turnout, and so on — would be enough to win the election in 2020. This way of thinking assumes that the president's support would remain unchanged — that he could do little to match incremental increases in Democratic turnout or support, compared with 2016.



 The aggregate national data suggests that Mr. Trump has gained more support than that — if not from Republicans then perhaps from some number of independents or former Democrats.



-------------



there's no reason he's limited to the support or turnout he had in 2016. [end]

The prog establishment will hire an assassin if Trump is reelected.

Dean Baquet, the executive editor of the New York Times, said recently that, after the Mueller report, the paper has to shift the focus of its coverage from the Trump-Russia affair to the president's alleged racism.



"We built our newsroom to cover one story, and we did it truly well," Baquet said. "Now we have to regroup, and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story."



Baquet made the remarks at an employee town hall Monday. A recording was leaked to Slate, which published a transcript Thursday.

What a breath of fresh air the NYT is. Don't you just love unbiased jounalism. :laugh3:

The Atlantic spreads gossip, it does not report.



Biden Megadonor Owns The Atlantic, Reportedly Communicates Often With Journalist Behind Anonymously-Sourced Trump Bombshell

https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/04/laurene-powell-jobs-jeffrey-goldberg-democrats/?utm_source=piano&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2360&pnespid=0PNyr_AGHxKNtFnCbQJNj4zPPKpF5TuNafFUiuDV">https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/04/laur ... uNafFUiuDV">https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/04/laurene-powell-jobs-jeffrey-goldberg-democrats/?utm_source=piano&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2360&pnespid=0PNyr_AGHxKNtFnCbQJNj4zPPKpF5TuNafFUiuDV



Billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, the majority owner of The Atlantic, has donated over $1.2 million to former Vice President Joe Biden and other Democratic candidates and groups since 2019, Federal Election Commission records show.

Powell Jobs owns a 70% stake in The Atlantic, and she reportedly communicates often with its editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg.

Goldberg published an anonymously-sourced story Thursday alleging that President Donald Trump had denigrated fallen American soldiers.
