Good point - it’s not just wealth accumulation but also control over the major media outlets by owning them and dictating what they put out as “news”. Democracy is in serious trouble as a result.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

A good read on how US under Trump is prolonging Ukraine/Russia war by supporting Putin the invader.
"This war will end only when Russia stops fighting. The Russians need to halt the invasion, recognize the sovereignty of Ukraine, and drop their imperial ambitions. Then Ukraine can discuss borders, prisoners, and the fate of thousands of kidnapped Ukrainian children." - Anne Applebaum, who knows

Refugees come to this country fleeing danger and persecution, and working to protect them has been a bipartisan issue for decades.
Yet, under Trump, it has become nearly impossible for refugees to come here. It’s shortsighted and means people will die.
