    The billionaires didn’t gobble up the media landscape to make money on views…

    They bought it up so they could spend money to influence voters to make money elsewhere.

    They don’t give a fuck about ratings or ad sales, they want us fighting over shit they don’t care about, just so we don’t realize they’re the problem and work together to fix it.
