One thing we can do to support Palestine - Boycott these corporations

Simplicius writes about the past year:

2024 was the year of unvarnished genocide, and what’s more: it was the total white-washing of said genocide by the bought-and-paid-for corporate media.

More than anything else, I declare year 2024 as the death of mainstream media. Never before was their bias, their criminality and total hostility to truth more openly obvious, more flagrantly flaunted by them. Scandal after scandal marred the last few remnant crumbs of credibility that remained, from covering up Biden’s clear dementia, presidential incompetence, and family crimes, to covering for Israel’s genocide all year long, with ‘creative’ formatting and syntax tricks, as well as lack of any impartiality or ability to question the State Narrative. They have exposed themselves as nothing more than an antiquated soapbox of disinformation and narrative control. This year was truly the long-overdue—and much-earned—death of mainstream media as an institution.

Virtually everything of note, any newsworthy revelation or exposé, was broken on either Twitter, Substack, or associated ‘citizen journalist’ haven. People are tuning out more and more from corporate legacy programming in general, whether it’s MSM or Hollywood or even major sports—with recent headlines reporting NBA viewership down by 50%, for instance.

In spite of all that 'Happy New Year'. Let's each do our best to turn things around so that those that come after us will not have to face this ugly madness. 

It's the least we could do.

I know many of you are on full throttle but I also am aware that there are some heavy duty skaters who read these pages that are not pulling their share of the load.

Maybe its political party loyalty, too much corporate media intake, fear of what the friends, relatives and neighbors might think, or just plain laziness. Maybe you've just given up - thrown the towel in.

What more do we all need to see before we kick it in gear?

It's time to become a human being again.... 

Please resolve to do better in 2025.

In peace,

Bruce
