Even if Elon is somehow ousted from this coup, it will continue to roll on and crush everything in its wake. He's only ONE aspect of this, and he's a very loud and obnoxious one which is very much the point. People need to pay attention to Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz. Here's a few of the more recogniseable companies in which they have been involved: SUBSTACK. (for the love of sanity please use a different platform) #Airbnb, #Facebook, #Instagram, X/Twitter, #Pinterest, #Roblox, #Skype, #BuzzFeed, #Groupon, #Imgur, #Reddit, #Slack, #Medium, #OpenAI, #SpaceX and more... The rest of their portfolio is here: https://a16z.com/portfolio/ It also includes weapons and defence tech in the name of "American Dynamism." #a16z #andreessenhorowitz #techfascism #MAGA #AmericanDynamism

Just idly remembering back to when #buzzfeed was the leading journalistic organisation in the country, simply because they did actual journalism rather than reprinting press releases.

What a strange time it was.

It gets even weirder: One of the fake Zombies' rhythm sections goes on to form ZZ Top. Dusty Hill's only stated acknowledgement of the fake Zombies incident: "it was the 60s, man."

Here's the original article that spawned the Fake Zombies podcast: buzzfeed.com/danielralston/the

The riot in the Washington Post editorial office is gaining momentum. After the owner of the publication refused to officially support Kamala Harris, a wave of resignations began. Well, the number of Washington Post subscribers has decreased by 200 thousand, which is about 8% of their total mass.

Jeff Bezos himself rolled out an open letter stating the crisis of the mainstream press and urged his would-be journalists to be more objective. But they're not capable of that. The editorial staff of the Washington Post are ardent Democrats who have gone crazy on the basis of anti-trumpism.

At the same time, the publication is incurring heavy losses, and the Washington Post's audience has decreased by 50% since 2020. So Bezos is right - the liberal media industry is stuck in crisis. The level of trust in the mainstream press in the United States is updating anti-records. Only less than a third of the population trusts it.

Bezos is imposing “objectivity” not from a good life. He's just afraid that #Amazon, which depends on government contracts from the special services, will have problems if #Trump wins. And there we are talking about really serious money - tens of billions of dollars.
Washington Post journalists who are leaving en masse will probably try to create some kind of new fake news specialized publication.

But the liberal media bubble is collapsing now - many of these new formations like Vice and #BuzzFeed have already gone bankrupt. Liberal propagandists simply did not fit into the market. They can only lament, but this will not stop the shake-up of the American media industry, which has lost the remnants of its reputation and readers' trust.
