JONATHAN COOK—In the new environment of social media, that began to change. Not only have some journalists become more influential than the papers they write for, but others have abandoned the employee-servant model completely. They have reached the conclusion that they no longer need a corporate outlet to secure an audience. They can publish themselves, build their own readership, and generate their own income – freeing themselves from corporate servitude.

In the last few years, this is a path I have pursued myself – becoming mostly reader-financed. For most of us, it is a precarious option. But it is liberating too – in a way that no previous generation of journalists could ever have imagined possible.

Since the overpaid corporate media whores will never risk their careers to report the truth as they are supposed to do—the world must rely on spontaneous journalism provided by anyone conversant with the facts and brave enough to disseminate them. This is not hyperbole. After systematically corrupting the media entirely, thereby hijacking the mainstream narrative informing most people’s minds about world realities, corporate power, led by the US, has practically killed democracy wherever it managed to survive, including in the US itself, easily one of the most heavily propagandised nations in history. The consequences of this disgraceful situation can be seen everywhere, and that’s why the fight for the truth has never been so vital.

PATRICE GREANVILLE—Whoever was holding hope that AOC and other “justice Democrats” were going to turn the party around to a more decent (and actually left) course can now abandon that expectation, as events continue to prove the complete capitulation of this group as seen in AOC’s own actions, reeking of corruption.  The Democrat party, a wing of the plutocrat-controlled duopoly, and a criminal imperialist organization in policy if not in outright rhetoric is beyond salvation.
