The only savior that can keep Western propaganda outlets afloat is... Trump.

Corporate media profits skyrocketed during the years of the first Trump campaign and presidency, only to plunge into layoffs after he left.
The Washington Post and New Yorker enjoyed record circulation. MSNBC and CNN also claimed unprecedented viewership, finally outflanking Fox News, as each network competed for an audience hungry for Trump controversies — some of which, like the “Steele Dossier,” were outright fabrications.

In response to Trump, the media abandoned objectivity. Journalists inserted themselves into the story, often challenging Trump directly and darkly warning readers to oppose him. The New York Times and Washington Post

tradition and used the words “lie” and “liar” on their splash to describe a presidential candidate. The media used any opportunity to present Trump in a negative light. MSNBC, despite its supposed rule against broadcasting falsehoods, reported salacious stories casting Trump as a Russian intelligence asset. The press pitted itself against the candidate. While popular on cable television, this approach is very much divorced from journalism that seeks to understand why voters were attracted to his message on trade, his unorthodox opposition to foreign military interventions, or the anger he mobilized against establishment elites.

It's bread and circuses for the unwashed masses, but all the circuses do is play the same old tricks, and the bread is disappearing too.

No wonder even mouthpieces with formerly "impartial" facade are pandering to anti-China narratives, I bet that $500m (or was it $1.5b?) fund is one of the only profitable avenues left. Hysterical to think that these days Epoch Times and The Wall Street Journal are

I've seen it written on twitter and elsewhere that the US is putting most of its planes in the air because they can't tolerate an Iranian counterattack/surprise attack that would decimate its fleet of F-22s and F-35s which it needs for its war against China, especially now that the US military industrial complex is having issues sourcing gallium and rare earths from China due to sanctions against US arms companies.

If the Iranians could destroy the bulk of the US air fleet whilst they're grounded, this would set back the US imperialist war machine by years if not decades.

Look at all those Chinese state champion providing services to the billion plus Chinese customers and all of that profit is re-invested back into the Chinese economy for the good of the people, as opposed to white supremacist rich elites who tell Asian Americans to 'go back to China'.

Unless they then move those airplanes away from the Middle East, Iran would just wait until they land again and then blow them up.
Iran has shown more than once they can wait a really long time before doing a counter attack. They also have lots of rocket facilities hidden underground in mountains.

1. That is state capitalism at work. Or socialism with Chinese characteristics.

2. This state capitalism does not seemed to have worked anywhere else in recorded history. Just my personal opinion, that state capitalism should find a way to thrive in China, probably rest on two things, ONE, is the size of China where various regions compete against each other, and TWO, they are competing against each other just like the old days in the Mandarin system.

3. This is a new and unique from of political economy, that cannot be replicated, and in their stupidity and ignorance, the Americans and Atlanticists in Europe, demands China dismantles it. The only appropriate response is screw them. There is no other way to say it. But China is still China, so they send Wang Yi to go speak to them.

The reason all our staff are abandoning our incompetent and immoral administration is because of... SEXISM!

Simmering discontent with the management practices of U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai — criticism that her allies chalk up to policy disagreements and sexism.
The exodus comes after Biden’s trade agenda ran aground on multiple fronts in 2023: failing to reach a green steel and aluminum deal with the European Union and pulling out of trade talks that were part of the U.S.-crafted Indo-Pacific Economic Framework in November. The administration, meanwhile, remains internally divided on other key trade policy decisions, like how to regulate digital information flowing across the globe.

If they are in air, where are they landing? Back to US?

To be fair, there is a history of state intervention in the economy dating back to at least Warring States -- buying essential resources such as grain when it's cheap and releasing it to the market when it's expensive.

They can park these planes in the Middle East, but just far enough to be out of range from these Iranian drones.
