Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto AskBeehaw@beehaw.org•How Would The World Look Like Without Any News Organizations?4·8 days agoI am no expert and can only make a few guesses here based on my experience in the USA.
Generally speaking, most corporate billionaire owned news organizations are just propaganda machines spewing misinformation (lies) in order to benefit themselves and fuck every one else.
However, there are quit a bit of independent media outlets (“…community-based, member- and audience-supported, nonprofit, not-for-profit, cooperative, and social justice oriented news publications, primarily based in the United States and Canada.”). These have become essential for millions of people to stay informed since the corporate slop isn’t working.
In brief, having news organizations that serve to inform the public is incredibly useful and should be maintained. It is a public service that has enormous benefits such as preserving our democracy.

I agree and I will be following the court case(s).

It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort.”
- Justice Sotomayor, dissenting
It will be left up to us (the people) as it always has.

Come again? Most of us are relying on these things.
If you are saying that there is no 100% guarantee, then of course I agree.

Why do you say that? You believe that this one ruling has dissolved all democracy in the USA? If so, then please explain.
I hope you have a great time.
