@Megankstack Throughout American history, beginning with the Federalist papers, "the Fourth Estate" has marched hand in hand with politicians and their wealthy donors.
@Megankstack Among the richest and most vibrant literary and journalistic eras in American history was during the mid to late nineteenth century, when the original American Left, derided as "populists," established a network of independent presses across the country.
@Megankstack Most of those manuscripts and columns have been buried.
@Megankstack For the corporate shills of the status quo media and half of academia to claim some sort of moral or ethical high ground is laughable at best. You did this to yourselves.
@Megankstack @threadreaderapp unroll please. Thanks.
