Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I truly believe it came about as a result of the loss of the fairness doctrine (thanks piece of shit Reagan) or at least that was part of it. And as a result, Fox News and other garbage like OANN provides absolutely no balanced viewpoints-it's just alt right garbage with outright lies.
CNN doesn't either in the sense it was purchased by a Trump supporter and now presents "both sides" by having Trump's dumb ass on there.
Billionaires know this; it's why arseholes like Elon Husk bought Twitter so they could control the both sides narrative and push anyone that could be "left" into a stupid centrist position.
