As we enter the “Bernie vs Warren” stage of the primary, please remember:
Corporate media (1) does not give a shit about you or your country (2) is trying to rile you up over trivial bullshit (3) will do anything to steer the debate away from critiques of capitalism/corporatism.
This Vox article of all the RWA happenings is fantastic. Seeing it all in one place still boggles the mind. RSJ is one of the many sources linked in the article. Thanks, Vox for the coverage. https://t.co/tCVsO8ICF5

In 1996 Terry Pratchett interviewed Bill Gates for GQ and accurately predicted how the internet would propagate and legitimise fake news. Gates didn’t believe him.
When companies like Toys R’ Us & Sears go down & lay off thousands, people think it’s “internet kills brick + mortar.”
