There may be a media blackout on the 'Hands Off' ralllies across the nation. Because it is being billed as 'anti-Trump' media outlets will fear reporting it.

Best to make note of media that deliberately ignore the story, which is undeniably happening everywhere. As we know, that is censorship at the owner/publisher/editor level.

@NBC @meowski @NBC Banning veils because they're Islamic is far right tho.

And yeah usually if the #MSM brands someone far right, especially internationally, I view that more like a quality seal than anything else, especially since many of these far right leaders are in despotic countries that are far left, so they'll tip the country on general towards the center rather than the far right.

Someone far right would do damage in the #USA, while fixing the #UK with the exact same policies if that makes sense.

I've also ruled out all travel to the USA, including in-person job interviews for remote positions (I'm a software engineer currently looking for work).

I've had Americans ask me "Aren't you overreacting? It's not actually that dangerous.", and then it turns out they haven't even heard about the cases of Canadians and Europeans just randomly siezed, locked up mostly incommunicado, and eventually deported, even when they had valid visas etc.

The MSM in the USA is doing a very thorough job of covering up the growing autocracy.

Media Matters for AmericaThe right dominates the online media ecosystem, seeping into sports, comedy, and other supposedly nonpolitical spacesAs Americans increasingly get their news from online shows and streamers, the influence of this media ecosystem becomes more prominent — and Media Matters has found that the most popular of this content is overwhelmingly right-leaning.In a new study, Media Matters assessed the audience size of popular online shows — podcasts, streams, and other long-form audio and video content regularly posted online. To do so, we gathered data on the number of followers, subscribers, and views across streaming platforms (YouTube, Spotify, Rumble, Twitch, and Kick) and social media platforms that are used to amplify and promote these shows (Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok). Apple Podcasts does not publicly provide follower counts on its platform, so it was not included in the audience data.This analysis was based on 320 online shows with a right-leaning or left-leaning ideological bent. We found that right-leaning online shows dominate the ecosystem, with substantially larger audiences on both politics/news shows and supposedly nonpolitical shows that we determined often platformed ideological content or guests.Key findings:We found 320 online shows — 191 right-leaning and 129 left-leaning — that were active in 2024 and covered news and politics and/or had related guests. These shows had at least 584.6 million total followers and subscribers.We found substantial asymmetry in total following across platforms: Right-leaning online shows had at least 480.6 million total followers and subscribers — nearly five times as many as left-leaning.Across platforms — YouTube, Rumble, Twitch, Kick, Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok — right-leaning online shows accounted for roughly 82% of the total following of the online shows we assessed.Comparatively, left-leaning online shows had nearly 104 million followers and subscribers across the eight platforms — nearly five times less.Nine out of the 10 online shows with the largest followings across platforms were right-leaning, with a total following of more than 197 million. The only left-leaning show among the top 10 was What Now? with Trevor Noah, which had 21.1 million total followers and subscribers across platforms.Our analysis — which looked entirely at shows with an ideological bent — found over a third self-identify as nonpolitical, even though 72% of those shows were determined to be right-leaning. Instead, these shows describe themselves as comedy, entertainment, sports, or put themselves in other supposedly nonpolitical categories.Out of 320 online shows, right-leaning programs categorized as comedy — 15 shows in all — had 117.5 million followers and subscribers, or 20% of the total following of all programs we assessed. This category included The Joe Rogan Experience, This Past Weekend with Theo Von, and Full Send Podcast.Right-leaning shows accounted for two-thirds of the total YouTube views on videos from channels affiliated with the shows we assessed — 65 billion views in total. Comparatively, left-leaning online shows totaled 31.5 billion total views.Right-leaning shows use Rumble to expand their audience — gaining millions of subscribers and billions of views for their content.
