Trump's massive raid on the Hyundai plant in Georgia is huge news all around the world. But in the US it's barely even reported, much less discussed and explained. Something fundamentally wrong with US media.

In you hadn’t noticed, a lot of the US media (CBS, ABC, CNN, WaPo) have bent their knees to Trump, and will do nothing that might perturb his fragile ego.

One of the issues is that mainstream media is afraid to take on Trump. The other is that the Trump administration does something completely heinous every day and we've become a little numb to it, or we simply can't keep up with it. It's like Lucy at the conveyor belt in the chocolate factory.

The reason that it gets almost no coverage in the U.S. is because this is 'normal behaviour' and completely expected - whenever non-white people gather in the U.S. there is a very real expectation that ICE will conduct a raid and detain everyone in one of the concentration camps. Heil Trump!

Younger folks may not realize that our media wasn’t always this way. Before Reagan, media wasn’t corporate owned and there was no Fox News. Once multinationals were allowed to buy up the media we saw an immediate change because major corporations all feed at the govt trough.

Claiming that media was not corporate owned prior to Reagan is nonsense. And multi nationals could own media also. Ownership regs apply only to broadcast. That isn’t print or cable channels.
