This is fantastic, in my opinion.
Everybody knows exactly what this is. They can't blame "spin", they can't demonize their own programming, they can't say they've been "misquoted", no more "taken out of context", they will be forced to pick their own cherries.
This leaves them without any plausible deniability. Hours of programming means hours of incompetence on display for all to see.
I'm actually excited about this development. GOOD JOB MORONS
Which is fine....until it becomes the only media
What exactly did you think truth social was?
Expect a lot of blonde news anchors that look like cheap plastic dolls.

"state run", names it after himself.
How long until another billion in our taxpayer money hits his bank accounts
And if he left, he's going to argue that it is his copyright and owner.
It's not surprisng he doubled down. That's his only move.
I don't think he can legally have any press at all unless he gives equal access to all press. Even a state-run agency is not exempted.
I mean maybe he'll get special permission from SCOTUS, but it will come to that.
Also the name on the network implies he intends to keep the station privately, and that runs contrary to the notion the channel is state run.
Nah, not "state run". It will just get funds from the government and rich friends, and most of it will be funnelled in his pocket as usual, all to only report on what HE is doing or saying. Maybe cable ops will be forced to include it in their packages, who knows?
So a fusion of the state and business interests? Like in Italy in the 1920s and 1930s?
That's what TruthSocial is now, and to a certain extent other private social networks (X, Facebook, etc.), since they're run by oligarchs who submit to his will. It's the modern version of fascist Italy.

How much you bet it will be filled with genAI slop too?
100%. The few "reporters" they actually do pay will all be far-right Youtubers or guys they poached from OANN.
RT with a red/white/blue color palette swap
The second sentence is absolutely true, but we made our biggest mistake way before that. Not hanging every confederate after the war was probably it. But I’m sure there are historians that could argue for something earlier.
Sherman could have finished the job. Now we have concentration camps. This is what happens when you let conservative cockroaches continue to infest our nation.
Can I just take this opportunity to say I love the rise of shermanposting and it makes me feel like sometimes the internet was only a small mistake.
Haha. I'm thinking of making a T-shirt. We need to normalize openly discussing the problem instead of "being polite" to nazi cockroaches.
Not pushing Reagan off a cliff is arguably the biggest mistake
It's a long series of mistakes. Not finishing off the Confederacy, not putting Nixon in prison for Watergate and sabotaging peace talks with the Vietcong, not putting Reagan in prison for sabotaging negotiations during the Iran Hostage Crisis. They've been crooks for a century and there's only one solution.
Shoulda bumped him off that hill where he was searching for his shining city
Of course not. The biggest mistake is believing that "democratic" institutions can somehow regulate economically powerful people.
The system is working exactly as it's supposed to : the bourgeoisie is above the law.
I mean your country was founded by rich white people who didn't want to pay taxes. What so you expect.
Can't imagine wanting to hear that gross fat pedo wax idiotic all day long. Having to look at his anus mouth at the same time? 🤢
Probably going to turn into an OnlyFans for the holdout MAGAt morons who fantasize about that pervert...
The original PBS is gonna be appeasing, both sidesing, liberaling, genociding, fashing, etc. all the way down... but still have no idea what happened.
DEMOCRACY
Becoming the Managed variety
Oh good, when do I sign up to fight the aliens trying to invade Super Earth?
AI news anchor dropping the N word just magically appeared on my bingo card?
ai slop media that is. all of it.
If you told me this was from Back to the Future 2 I’d believe you
He said while posting on billionaire piss baby controlled media. And even paying for the “privilege“.
There are going to be a lot of 70 and 80 year olds desperately trying to figure out how to use YouTube tomorrow.
Step 1: watch ads
There is no step 2.
AdBlockers are blocked in the browsers at work and hooooooly fuck is YouTube atrocious without an adblocker. I haven't seen an ad on Youtube at home in a decade. It's downright unuseable without an adblocker.
