This is a product of the monopoly created on media. Your conclusion is being based on a lack of consumer options. This is how monopolies work though. It's like saying "people tend to choose a news outlet with the political bias, but the only news to choose from is that with political bias".

If you take note of fascism, it is the politicization of everything. People are forced to make decisions based on their politics rather than their wants in needs. So they remove all options, create political bias with everything in your life, and the result is everything becomes political.

There is currently a huge demand for independent journalism, which is why the government was fighting so hard and violating our first amendment to sensor those journalists and outlets. The government does not want us to have free speech

No. We want to align our business with the core values of good people, people who like sea turtles and jam bands and getting naked.

To be fair Ben and Jerry's has been a "socially aware" company for years. They'd always make random limited edition flavors based on particular celebrities or pop culture events and what not.

Its just that now that everyone's so politically polarized, people are starting to get triggered over the stuff they're promoting even though they've been doing it for decades.

Call to action is really being submitted by someone named "Jacobin"? In that regard, one has to wonder how our media fell into such a state of discredibility if these are the supporters.

Like I said, I don't really eat ice cream, I'll glance at it while walking through a grocery store. Never knew they promoted anything, except ice cream.

So much talk about Ben & Jerry's...

I mean, they need to fill the shelf space next to the Haagen Dazs that I will always pick over the stuff it's next to.

I might go for Talenti every once in a while.

MSM has bent over backwards for the US government via Patriot act

You bet your bottom dollar we are going to get some type of crony capitalism to keep them afloat.

Much like the US Gov is rubbing face-book/Googles back by destroying their opposition (tiktok etc)

Banks owe the US gov, MSM owe US gov. We are heading towards communism faster than you think

In the end, the suicide bombers on 9/11 win by crashing a plane into a building and letting the us government enable communism and self implode.

We also need to apportion blame for social media instigating this mass McDonaldization of information. The vast majority of people are uncritical and incurious consumers. They just peruse the news for street crime info, lottery numbers and strange and weird stories they can share.


More intelligent and discerning consumers are moving to non-profit or independent journalist sources because they are producing the news they want. The 90% though.....
Back off, Warchild.

Not like mainstream media has a left leaning bias, that's just spreading "misinformation."

You're an abject moron if your understanding of Unilever is based off that article. Their stock price actually rose over the remainder of July last year, so by your retarded logic the $billions in additional market cap was surely because the cancel culture outrage over a social media post failed. Surely it's just that simple and "if you owned a business" you would also "chit can" the super woke ice cream brand, maybe because you had no idea they were super woke when you bought them.
