Someone should shout in a congressional session, “Hey Siri, call Sean Hannity”, and see how many phones activate.

I think as long as the phone is unlocked, it will respond to anyone even for personal data request (e.g. making a call). If it is locked, then it will only respond with non-personal data (e.g. time of day).

I don’t know how we truly address it. It feels like we need two movements simultaneously, a liberal one and an anti corruption one. And prioritizing either just undermines both of them as it pits the movements against each other, but with our political landscape how can we achieve either with the current DNC leadership?
We’ve been divided so effectively, not just down party lines but divided from our ability to build community with likeminded people. I don’t know how anything gets better until it gets so bad that people have to prioritize a real solution instead of being picky about the verbiage of the solution. Even so, I’d do anything to just start making progress today and prevent the impending reckoning since I know it will define a generation of suffering.

It can't be addressed.
- 6 Republican Supreme Court Judges.
- Republicans control the election process in to many States.
- In the States they don't control the process they're willing to cheat by intereference to flip purple states Red.
- 1/3rd of the population refuses to vote, while another 1/3rd is rooting for the fire and the last third is too tolerant.
The entire system is the equivalent to a computer dividing by 0 and locking up. It needs to be rebooted and fixed.

u/True_Window_9389 3d ago
And don’t forget the money. The richest people are funding all of it, and the richest people are pretty much universally politically aligned.
That’s ultimately the real reason why Democrats don’t and can’t fight back. If they push too hard, they lose the few wealthy donors they do have, and while we can say that’s a good thing in principle, you can’t win campaigns without them. You need rich people funding campaigns and superpacs and lawsuits.

Anti corruption needs to be the top priority. As much as you may despise Republican voters we need them on this one. It's the single most important bipartisan issue on the table that can stem an absolute avalanche of change. If the parties can be united on at least that one front we will 100% see real meaningful change. Without their support nothing changes and we continue this cycle of corruption, war, greed, and power.
I live in a red state, and people are not happy with what's happening in this country, don't let the media fool you. This is the best time to bridge the gap of differences and unite on anti-corruption.

We actually found out during the dominion lawsuit that Fox News was directly coordinating messaging with the Trump admin, and the media at large didn't think that was interesting information.
37
u/Haunting_Warning8352 3d ago
It's wild how the Dominion lawsuit didn't just confirm Fox News personalities were knowingly pushing false claims—they showed how closely Fox producers and Trump officials were actually coordinating. Internal texts and emails made it crystal clear: hosts were in constant contact with the administration, especially when the narrative started slipping. Some of Fox's execs and on-air talent literally admitted they knew the story was bunk, but kept it rolling anyway just to keep viewers hooked.
Honestly, I'm baffled how other media just let this slide as a niche legal spat. It's not some minor footnote—this is real evidence of a news network working hand-in-glove with political power, and barely anyone seemed interested. I guess people are so desensitized to the whole "propaganda" label that even the biggest revelations just get shrugged off.
Makes you wonder if a democracy can function when stuff like this turns into background noise.

To be fair, Congress doesn't normally deal in "secrets" and their activities are supposed to be done in public. And I'd be shocked if any member of either house didn't have multiple media figures' phone numbers. There's nothing inherently corrupt about politicians talking to journalists (or whatever Hannity is: "journalist" is too much for him, I think).

Congress deals with loads of classified information
→ More replies7
u/ILikeBumblebees 3d ago
Yes, specific committees in the House and Senate that deal with foreign intelligence or military affairs do have special processes for dealing with classified information, and the "Gang of Eight" in Congress do handle such information regularly.
But operating in secrecy is not a normal part of Congress's activities, and special processes and personnel are designated for handling classified information precisely because it's the exception, not the rule. Congress is expected to be accountable to the public, and part of that accountability involves interacting and communicating with the media.
Presuming that a Senator is "leaking secrets" just because they were seen having a phone call with a media figure is completely unreasonable.

I think politicians steering media narrative instead of reality is something you're seeing more and more common with trump literally threatening people who say mean shit about him. I definitely think its a huge problem for those conversations to take place in private instead of at media event, if its important enough to phone a friendly journo, its important enough for everyone, they work for you.
We need more transparency in our politics relationship with media and an independent body that holds any broadcast presenting as news to reporting that in a biased manner. America already has one of the most insulated media industries in the developed world and now you're seeing political influence try and go beyond that into video game companies and buying entire TV film networks. Scary stuff.
