minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilink2•edit-216 days agoI don’t think the bad actors are coming from online. The bad actors are the ones who call themselves news and amplify a message bought and paid for by corporations. They then say, it’s only editorializing. The news happens only from ‘6:15-6:17.’
