This feels like a serious fuck up for the western media. They handwave the existence of their billionaire owners by saying that they don't determine what gets printed , even though that's an obvious lie , but now they're on record with the billionaire owner putting his foot down for Trump.

With libs feeling betrayed, I hope I can set some of them on the leftist pipeline by offering them the writings of Thomas Frank.

The whole “good rich” that liberals cozied up to was never meant to last.
