Damn right, Bernie. Good job putting “benevolent” in quotes, too. There are no “benevolent” billionaires. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/458902-sanders-releases-media-plan-press-shouldnt-be-controlled-by-corporations
Rather, it should be controlled by a monopolistic authoritarian “benevolent” government eh? Lolol You think he’d set up a ministry of truth as the next step? It’s logical. The government must protect the people and their feelings and decide what should be considered true for everyone’s benefit. Down with the evil billionaires. Down with the millionaires next. Down with YOU next. Bernie’s the man!
You clearly did not even read the article.
I did. Preventing mergers to “protect” individual journalists is just a smokescreen to sneak in regulatory clauses to control the press. It will start a cycle of more regulation to fix newer “loopholes” and so on until government control is absolute. This is always the outcome of such systems.
The media should be controlled by the government. -Bernie -Also: all other communists
Uh huh. Where does he say that? BTW, Bernie is a socialist, not a communist.
Incorrect. Bernie is a communist masquerading as a socialist and has been his whole miserable career.
Yeah. They should be controlled by the government. Like in China.
This guy gets it 👆 Fuck Bernie Sanders
If by “gets it,” you mean “needs to improve their reading comprehension,” then yeah.
More government regulations are not needed at all. OP, you are decrying in all the comments that because Bernie doesn't say the words "the government will control the media" that that isn't what would happen. It really is pure naivety. Whether through regulations or outright seizure, the end result would be the same - the government becoming much too large and having far too much control. Socialism isn't the answer. It never has been and it never will be.
Exactly. Sometimes I think people want to be oppressed. Some weird SM shit.
Yep. People used to fight for more rights. Now these soyboys and girls want to take rights away from people. "Give the government more power!!" As if they haven't learned a single lesson from history.
Yeah but small independent alt-media has its own issues with sensationalism, clickbaitery, and loons.
I don’t have a problem with Breitbart’s existence. The MAGA crowd can have all the sensationalism, clickbait, and loons for all I care, as long as they aren’t shooting up WalMarts.
Well, that’s it for Bernie :(
