With each passing day, the internet changes.
Multi-billion-dollar venture capitalists, corporations, and shadowy right-wing donors funnel extraordinary amounts of money into new ventures to promote their political agenda.
Social media companies like Facebook, Twitter and Google dictate way too much about how people view their news, sports, culture, and opinions. And where their advertising dollars go.
Now we have Elon Musk turning into the richest wingnut troll this country has ever seen. He’s attacking journalists for tepid criticism while promoting QAnon scum to attack Dr. Fauci and anyone slightly to the left of Victor Orban.
The right-wing nutososphere is pouring billions of dollars into the pipeline and creating a one-voice America that is more like a fascist theocracy than a US democracy.
With Crooks and Liars, you’re getting hundreds of articles and videos each week, a huge bargain in the new landscape of online journalism. Independent journalists and voices like ours are in danger.
And unless we magically acquire a multi-million dollar legal team, we have no recourse with Facebook and Google, and Twitter when they screw us.
