    Wow, I guess I better get used to a ton of USA events and news per day for the next years.

      Probably not. Sooner rather than later most free press will be shut down by trump and the only news that anyone will get is whatever there government wants you to hear. Stories like this will disappear.

        That’s already the case.

        Do you remember every single mainstream outlet falling in line to promote the Iraq war? To blackout the antiwar protests? Going to Occupy Wallstreet and interviewing random weirdos instead of the organizer’s designated press people? The coverage of Ukraine? The coverage of Israel?

        I think you vastly overestimate how organized the Trump admin is. I’m sure they will try, though.

        Don’t you think that’s a bit of a hysterical take?

        Stories like this one, someone noticing that a website has been taken down, will disappear??

        It’s hardly the peak of investigative journalism or a complicated story requiring hundreds of hours of work by a trained journalist.

        Nah the free press like the billionaires and everyone else who wants to stay in business will lick Trump’s balls.
