I genuinely do not understand. What sort of black magic Larry Ellison uses to keep his name out of conversations? Larry bought Paramount (CBS). Larry is steering the ship for the fascists, yet people only mention his minions.

It’s not black magic, and you’ve answered your own question. The oligarchs own the media, and they decide what the conversation is and isn’t.

It's a wonderful time to be corrupt. There's hardly any journalism on the US that isn't owned by an oligarch.

That's why Democracy Now and Drop Site News are goated, especially now

It's enough to turn Taco reviewer L.A. Taco into an independent news source, lol

Smart capitalists (not attention-seekers like Musk), know enough to stay out the the limelight.

Sounds like they are describing a stress ulcer.

"post-shooting, the agent is reported to have suffered near-fatal abdominal injuries (tummy ache)"

Fear of being prosecuted?

So they tell us lies from the tablecloth

Same "news" agency that reported the 12000 dead in Iran while showing a picture of 50 body bags.

"Internal bleeding to the torso"

Translation: A tiny bruise.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago

You know who had more severe bleeding? Renee Good, whom he shot to death unprovoked.

I didn't think he was hit hard enough for that. I imagine he had to have someone punch him later to actually get an injury.
