So it's good news. Yeah! Disinformation, authoritarianism and the general screwing over of the 99%! Awesome. Got to love AT&T.

authoritarianism
Says the retard unironically as he spreads his ass for Biden and begs the government to further strip away his own rights and censor those that oppose him

How do you think Fox News would go if they had more competition? Would they lean further right or go back to center? What would the cable news landscape look like if there were and even number of left and right leaning networks. And please stop trying to convince me that the MSM doesn't lean left.

Until Reagan, there was an FCC law that required news companies to interview people who argued both sides of a political position, known as the Fairness Doctrine, 9here0(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairness_doctrine). It was required in the early 20th century because of the harm done to public political discourse by constant lies from one of the political parties. These lies changed public opinion dramatically at that time, and now they do it again. Fox News developed especially in the Reagan era as a far-right wing news company, and quickly thereafter changed their FCC identification from news to 'entertainment'. At that point they became ONLY a propaganda mouthpiece for the GOP, without any attempt to offer facts. All of their programming is opinion, not news, and thus the FCC designation has to be entertainment. Nonetheless there are many who read their propaganda as factual. OANN is Fox 2.0. Whereas Fox has been 'right-wing', OANN is extreme right-wing, and focuses entirely on disinformation. The problem is not just 'right' or 'left' politics, but the constant promotion of disinformation for political purposes. Many now believe that disinformation, as we can read on Saidit, and at websites listed in /s/ShitpostNews. Not that the MSM is wonderful. They're not. Think however of who benefits from the massive spread of disinformation, and why there are 100s of millions invested in it by Big Corp (not just AT&T). Why do they do it? Is AT&T trying to spread the TRUTH? Are they trying to manipulate people? Why? Look at their history and you'll see that they had to break up their country long ago because they owned almost all of the telephone services. They let go of the baby Bells. Since then, however, they've grown again to a massive size that would still break the anti-trust laws that got them split up in the first place. But the GOP have been in power and deregulation has allowed Facebook, Amazon, AT&T and others to be anti-competitive. In short, all of this leads to income inequality, makes the .01% quite rich, and screws the 99% in the process.

Again - as indicated earlier - the "no, you" argument is juvenile. Make an effort.

If this requires an explanation, then you are lying for the sake of extremist right-wing groups and the 1%, or you have mental difficulties, or both.

That's the problem. You didn't "check" anything that was relevant. Instead, you've focused on unrelated nonsense, like "Are you vaxxed?" Give it a break. You've received enough responses from me.
