Like a spigot that gets turned on – and off – there has been very little in the “news” about Keeeeevvvvv since the election. Nor, for that matter, about the ongoing slaughter in Gaza.

This constitutes what you might call a tell. About the nature of the “news.” More finely, about the control over what is presented as the “news” by those who control it. Who are these controllers? More like what are these controllers. They are a handful – about half a dozen – interlocking corporate cartels. Together, they own the outlets that broadcast and publish (print and online) what is called the “news.”
