It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
In the 1800s news media was firmly owned by the merchants who regularly gaslit the entire population.
So nothing changed
Exactly! The article OP posted is from a Financial Times, an outlet that has been publishing this kind of shit since 1888.
Both Marx and later Lenin were dunking on the very same print media outlets still active today. We still meme about Lenin talking shit on the Economist, which today is publishing the same shit they did back in 1843.
Fkn Marx was a newspaper columnist in New York for a few years. The New York Times is publishing the exact same shit-lib editorials and opinion peices today as it did in 1851. If you want a wild evening of reading, I suggest digging through their archives for coverage of the abolitionist movement and slavery around the time the US civil war was kicking off.
