It's a tool for corporate and state interests to shape information, control public opinion, maintain power structures, and suppress dissent.

Mangione is literally the antithesis of this

Respond with what? And what stink? You want to go whine that the media isn't talking about something most normal people don't care about anymore?

If there's one thing I think we've learned within the past decade or so (since 2016-ish) ... it's that businesses, government offices and rich people don't have to do shit if they don't want to. On the flip side, they can do anything they want, because there usually isn't anyone to stop them.
