I suppose in some ways it’s good in that it’s an open demonstration of how Presidents Musk & Trump are going to control the news that reaches our eyes going forward.

People will forget though...just like they forget about everything else and leave it out of their thoughts about anything moving forward (e.g. Citizen's United, the 1/6/21 coup attempt, etc.).

According to conservatives it was no coup. I wish I was joking.

In some cases it’s not forgetting, it’s never encoding the information to memory on the day it happens.
