Within hours of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s death by a gunman in Midtown Manhattan, the major media went full North Korea, lavishing praise on the sainted business leader. The Washington Post reported that the “smart and affable” Thompson had a “focus on keeping premiums low,” citing an unnamed company staffer who we’re to believe “spoke on condition of anonymity to protect their job.”

    Lots of them grew up before Clinton got rid of all the laws requiring the media to be honest.

    It’s crazy how much of our fucked up shit in 2024 can be traced back to 1994 Clinton shenanigans, especially since that’s still the same wing running the party

        Nixon started the culture war bullshit that eventually resulted in the anti-woke and anti-trans bullshit. Reagan started the economic insanity that gave us our current massive wealth gap and is driving the popular support for deregulation and tax breaks for the wealthy. Clinton and Bush cemented our corrupt media and the domestic spying programs.
