Editor’s note: as part of a reorganization project to turn ninaillingworth.com into a central hub for all of my writing, I’m slowly cross-posting older material from other platforms here on this site. This is necessary both so I can actually find all my essays when I need to, and due to ongoing censorship of my work by giant tech companies; who can sincerely rot in Hades.

Thanks for your patience in advance.

Corporate Media Bias Never Dies

Originally published on October 23rd, 2019, this post is very much an in-the-moment examination of general media and political class fuckery in the 2020 Democratic Party nomination contest; which was ultimately won by Joe Biden, even though nobody could ever find a Joe Biden supporter. There are some bad predictions here, and of course the nomination contest is over, but given that Russiagate never seems to die and neither Liz Warren, nor the socialist-hating American media is going anywhere – I thought it might be nice to have the receipts handy for later.

As always with these reposts, your mileage may vary. Frankly, I myself am still too angry to want to read about how the media screwed Bernie again; I just have to because I wrote it.

“Elections are not supposed to be decided by an openly biased corporate media complex and the newsworthiness of a given story isn’t supposed to have anything to do with whether or not the boss likes a given candidate; yet clearly, in the American “democratic” system, nothing is as it’s “supposed” to be in a liberal democracy and the ruling classes are determined to stop Bernie Sanders and his labor class political revolution at all costs.”
