    I wonder if there’s a money trail that can be traced back to a single source for both the German and US (and probably others as well) media outlets to corporatize/liberalize at around the same time.

    The laws here directly reflect the wishes of corporations, including the relealing of the Fairness Doctrine, and there is a money trail showing which politicians took money from who for their political campaigns.

    The Heritage Foundation also played a big role in influencing policy during the Reagan administration. These are the same people who wrote Project 2025.

      In Germany, there is a big political movemet that transcends pretty much all party boundaries, which calls itself “transatlanticists” its core values are subservience to the USA, or some form of transatlantic corruption.

      I wouldn’t be surprised about all kinds of money trails. Our future head of government “worked” for BlackRock, an US investment corporation, for the most part of his career. And there are many more like him. As I already said, most forms of political corruption are legal in Germany.
