thinking on it I am not surprised

for 100 years the press and influencers have been making race an issue as a distraction to class , money and opportunity issues ( to stop the working class uniting , and yes, race is an issue )

the working class have genuine grievances and want a voice, sadly trump says he is their voice ( even tho that's a lie )

they don't want to hear more race issues

we need unity

I don't disagree, but the GOP and Trump have not been the voice of the working class. The fact that enough people have been convinced that they are, is just sad.

This election was also about women issues, and that fell on deaf ears.

The media has a lot of responsibility for this shit show.

but fairness!! S/

the press are either cowards or love the money the drama of trump brings

in the meantime the independent voices in the media are getting shut down

just look at the drama of trying to bring this sub on lemmy under "control"

Yeah the whole 'fairness' thing is a load of crap. With the election one side (generally the leftish leaning one) has to be perfect and spotless, meanwhile the other side might a slap on the wrist over something terrible.

One reason I love the ABC and SBS here. The only reason they appear to lean 'left' is because they report facts and don't favour either party, generally. It's just one side of politics tends to be shittier than the other.
