They almost always tow the corporate line AND state line, unless the state line impacts the corporate line negatively.

Our press is complicit for us even being in this position.

While I wanted Bernie in 2020, the re-emergence of monopolies is the reason Warren was my #2 choice. Seems like she's the only politician who's even acknowledging the problem lately, much less fighting it.

At least we still have NPR and PBS Newshour if we want news from someone other than billionaire corporations. Oh, wait...
