The following is what crony journalism looks like. These two things, which are going on right now (Feb 1st, 2021), should be international mainstream news — front page. Instead, virtually no mainstream sources are covering either of them.
No one will be shocked, surprised, or outraged, of course, when more counter-protests spring up.
As I’ve been saying for as long as I can remember: cronyism, by definition, is leftist. It is a type of socialism. It is favoritism in exchange for money and votes. It is rule by lobby groups and special privilege.
I look forward to all progressive-leftist partisans — so opposed to “authoritarian executive action” — defending this calamitous, outrageous joke of a government, and I look forward to the righteous indignation complete with the litany of phony causes, which create deeper division, strife, and cronyism.
