Governments is tasked to break up companies like this. They have not going after a large corporation for a long time. Last one I can remember was Microsoft.

They never ask how much war or tax breaks for corporations/rich will cost our people, society, economy, but will always ask how much popular programs that help people will cost.

Thx

Regardless, you meant to say regardless.

Also the lefts version of outage-baiting is "you won't believe what #celebrity# wore to #sponsored event#!!"

Uh, outside of fringe/joke media, the left does not do that.

Who are these left wing media you’re referring to? AT&T own CNN’s parent company (and the new boss at WB is super happy that in his mind he’s making CNN “balanced” by giving right wing voices a platform on it). MSNBC are owned by Comcast, and ABC is a Disney subsidiary.

There’s right wing (AKA Fox) and then there are corporate media who both sides the shit out of everything. Corporations are very heavily anti-left because true leftist policies (higher taxes, more regulations, higher pay for workers, etc) hurt their bottom line.

Eh, what're they gonna do? Throw litter at you?

Regardless of party affiliation, the rich are in control. Fox is the best example of this, but that's only because public awareness of names like Sinclair Broadcasting is slim at best. I'm not a fan boy of anyone, but if a man needs recognition for his attempts to bring public attention to the class warfare that's been taking place, Robert Reich should be noted. It's unfortunate but Bernie's been marginalized by both parties and that screams two sides of the same coin.

Ditto. When Kenny was on your side he was a gem of a person.

I'm with you, but outrage baiting, as you call it, is just as bad from the left leaning media as it is in the right. The right baits the anger of angry white men, while the left baits the anger of crazy, angry old cat ladies.

There is no left wing in America. Both the republicans and democrats are conservatives who are jointly responsible for this joke of a democracy.

I despise the republicans as much as anyone, but making the assumption that this phenomenon only affects their wing is naive beyond belief, and betrays an unhealthy ideological bias. Both sides of the corporate media industry are after ratings and will do whatever it takes to get them.

While the right wing deals in anger and outrage, the left wing runs filler fluff on products and celebrities. Both are detrimental - obviously the rights outrage baiting has caused significantly more harm though.

Thanks Rupert and thanks GOP for letting it happen.

I watched this when it was on Netflix in 2010. It was so good.

I had to clip it

Had to clip it

Thank you for transcribing this, I had to clip it

I had to clip just this scene because I think it's the most resonant with people by far

You make pancakes and then you chop it up and throw it back in some pancake batter and make more pancakes.

That's part of it, but nowadays it's mostly a counter in an upscale food hall, the neighborhood they're in has rapidly gentrified in the past few decades and little eateries like that have trouble surviving.
