So it happened again this week. voice-verified

So first off, I'm using the phrase corporate media. voice-verified

What I'm referring to there is radio, television, newspapers. voice-verified

That's the best word, it's the best term I I have for that infrastructure. voice-verified

I don't want to say mainstream media, I don't want to say legacy media, because those are low loaded terms that are used by people who have far right beliefs. voice-verified

And when you hear a part voice-verified

Person like Donald Trump or Elon Musk, when you hear them say mainstream media or legacy media, they're saying that to create preemptive distrust of journalism because journalism is a cornerstone of democracy. voice-verified

Journalism is as important as universal suffrage, and in a functioning democracy, voice-verified

Journalists have the complete freedom and safety to investigate power, provide citizens with trustworthy, reliable information, expose wrongdoings, and create public accountability. voice-verified

So it's it's in the interest of billionaires who aren't paying taxes, who are polluting the earth, who are making life difficult. voice-verified

And because of that, now the like the US public doesn't have reliable information about how many US soldiers have died in the Iran conflict so far and how much how many civilian deaths there's been. voice-verified

And then there used to be the Independent White House Correspondents Association, which chose what journalists were the voice-verified

In the press pool that got to ask the administration questions directly. voice-verified

Trump like took that over in 2025. voice-verified

First president to ever do it and say, No, I'm picking the journalists that get to ask me questions. voice-verified
