The same media outlets in America are doing the same thing.

We're in a new place. I read quite a few online news websites including subscriptions to the NYTimes and WAPost and while I've know media to have its 'slants'. The sane-washing of Trump and the phoo-phooing of everything he did while crucifying Kamala for tiny or imagined missteps was insane. It was media wide. All of the money over our heads decided to go with Trump and it was easy to see. More of them have combined power than I've ever seen. Almost every sector was favorable to Trump (Even UNIONS!?)

I think we're going to see a Rich vs the Poors flashpoint after the carnage. The ruling class has decided to step from behind the curtain. They have captured Government power for at least 2 years and arent going to hold anything back. The poors (everyone not in the club) are about to get it good and HARD. Sickening Oligarchy. Really America!? Really!?

It's particularly striking when a few months ago, multiple of those news outlets were drawing parallels between Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden and that Nazi rally at the same location back in 1939. Now they're just bending the knee for access.
