The fact they're simultaneously running don't vote campaigns and trying to undermine the dem candidate is proof that the moneybags who own these publications are united in realizing their robber baron days are drawing to a close under a guy who is the most pro labour president of the 21st century

Most pro labor president and not coincidentally the first since Reagan who does not have an ivy league degree. They hate him!

Yeah-also they are harnessing mainstream Dem freakouts (eg Carville) and their vast connection to anonymous coward donors. It’s really gross.

I don’t mean to overstate things but is this what it was like watching Hearst goad everyone into the Spanish-American War?

It is an analogy that has also occurred to me.

Though to be fair some donors at least have the stones to come forward, like Reed Hastings. It’s nice when billionaires holding the republic hostage have the decency to say so. Noblesse oblige.
