'"As a women of color
i was so hopeful that a mixed race women married to a Jewish guy could be elected president of this country

it had nothing to do with policy . I think this was a referendum of cultural resentment in this country
what an idiot

her criteria was based 100% on identity politics
and the electorate rejected that ideal and rejected her "politically correct' blithering idiot candidate

I partially agree. While mainstream media is susceptible to more influence from shareholders, social media can be quite the wild west.
That's interesting because some major corporations are behind the major networks. However, they seem to be influenced by the politics of the executives rather than the interest of the true shareholders.

Mainstream media seems to operate within some boundaries of fairness, but increasingly during the Trump years that was less and less.

If the Democrats had focused on people rather than devoting most of their energy, money and attention to persecuting Trump, the people may have very well voted Harris in.
Fact is, they devoted most of their time trying to convince people how "bad" Trump was while many struggled.

Virtue signaling, late night talk show laughs, wokeness, race cards, DEI distractions, lawfare, youth indoctrination and everything else they peddled ultimately failed on all fronts.

Let Trump and his administration govern without sabotage, and let's see what he succeeds and fails at and then make decision when it's time for the next election. That's how democracy works.

You understand that the candidate who most strongly supports Israel is the guy who is going to be POTUS right?

Supporting Hamas thankfully is not an election winner in the USA.

As horrifying as it may be, supporting Hamas might be a winning strategy for the Trudeau liberals
Can Muslims and Sikhs put Trudeau over the top?

I think Trump is unpredictable and Kamala was the wrong choice , Dems screwed up .
I think it's very likely any Democrat would have lost this election. Contrary to what we were being force fed, I don't think the Biden Presidency was all that successful.

Some here have defined it as passing legislation (narrowly of course). Legislation isn't really successful if you can't win re-election. Trump will have the same standard.

Elon should buy their Media outlet and fire them...when I say buy I mean offer to buy the company, $3.50
Disney would likely throw in some amusement park passes with ABC as well.

Mainstream media seems to operate within some boundaries of fairness, but increasingly during the Trump years that was less and less.
I know some people who have worked in the mainstream media outlets and would tell me through the years how they would be told to bury a story or spin it a particular way. These decisions often came down from whoever was above and filtered down to editors and program directors. They just went with it for fear of being fired.
They were never told to outright lie because that could lead to libel/slander lawsuits. They were always told to verify stories before going to air or to make it clear that verification was pending.

So to some extent, mainstream outlets have more to lose if they lie and if their reputation gets tarnished then that leads to sponsors pulling away, etc.

A youtuber may have less to lose and most likely won't attract the same legal attention that a larger outlet would. But at the same time, they would be more free to express their opinions without fear of management reprisals.
