    It’s worrying that this isn’t as high on Lemmy (or Reddit) as it should be. We all knew this was going to happen, but still, isn’t this more important than articles about Trump’s humiliation?

    I mean, I get it, there’s some serious schadenfreude there, but as with last time around, Trump’s clown antics are distracting from the serious damage that’s going on directly behind him.

    holding a pro-Russia stance

    WTF?

    She’s a fucking Russian asset!

    When did The Guardian sell out? I missed that. They were pretty good as recently as the presidentoal campaign season, but they’ve apparently now joined the ranks of the compromised media who deliberately shift the narrative to take the fascist edges off of the Musk/Trump coup d’etat.

      Based on what I can find, The Guardian was actually sold to a company called Tortoise Media two months ago in December 2024. And according to Wikipedia:

      Guardian and Observer journalists voted to strike on 4 and 5 December 2024 in protest over a sale that they said would betray the commitment of the Scott Trust—owner of the Guardian Media Group—to the Observer.

      So not even the journalists wanted this company in control. And funnily enough, there was a Guardian article in 2018 that specifically mentioned Tortoise Media while talking about the “increased involvement of private wealth in the journalism industry” and how that is a bad thing. So from what I can tell, it can no longer be trusted.

      Wikipedia article on Tortoise Media here.

    The vote was 52 in favor and 48 against, with all Democrats and Republican senator Mitch McConnell opposing her nomination.
