    Is it abandonment if it’s being intentionally suppressed, suffocated, and murdered by billionaires? Real easy for a bezos/musk/gates type to buy up something like, say, the Amazon-owned Washington Post, and then only publish what is favorable to the rich

      like Hearst did 100 years ago? the newspapers have been locked down by the rich since the beginning. the internet broke them for 20 years, but they mostly caught up again.
