certainly don't think claire gives so much cash to republicans that when montana congressman greg gianforte body slammed a guardian reporter said claire on montana n.b.c. affiliate were fused to cover his criminal progress and move. you know sometimes in corporate money is involved you have to treat a big story the same way n.b.c. news x. years after brian williams fabricated several stories as if it never happened. we already pretend a lot of things aren't happening when 6 corporations own something like 80 percent of all t.v. and print news in the country this merger only gets rid of journalists who can hold corporations accountable for their greed and and if we didn't have paid and bought for politicians we could reverse the laws that make these mergers possible in the 1st place well if an congress can reverse the laws they need to do it by 2029 otherwise all journalists will be thrown into the business never to be seen again. and i bet this 50 dollars 0 they can't leave until they watch both directed d.v.d. sequels of the lion king. which is obviously cruel and unusual punishment oh yea
