Phil Donahue was fired from his top rated show because he wouldn't tow the line.

He made a return and his show wasn't doing anything like what it was. Garofalo and Meathead were on Fox News.

The big turn was Obama's 2nd Term.

Donahue is basically retired now.

The change happened under Clinton when the FCC allowed complete consolidation of the media. When the Bush administration was lying us into the Iraq war, all media was on board, all of it. The only exception was the Daily Show. The Daily Show became famous because they were the ONLY one on television that would address the lies of the Bush administration. Fox news at the time was 100% in.

Obama just cemented it with the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act to openly allow propaganda to be used against American citizens. He just formalized it, it's been done since the 1970's, although it was technically illegal.

The fundamental change was under Clinton. Not EVERYBODY got to memo though, like Donahue. BTW - I don't have any respect for Donahue, he is a scumbag with his stupid daytime television show. He set the stage for scum like Jerry Springer, Oprah, Geraldo, Sally Springer, etc. God I hate television.

Amazing social advertisement from Russia: old man struggles with money, wants to sell his Lada for nothing. Last moment, his grandson tells him he signed a contract with the army. Everyone is happy.

That's the dregs of society that the US military is scrapping the bottom of the barrel for at this point. Who wants to join the US military when the US government is just intent on creating another fucking disaster? That's all they've done in the last 20 years. Ukraine is just the latest debacle.

We have to get rid of these fucking Neocons. They're destroying this nation.

Russian lawmakers voted Tuesday in favor of changes to the country's military conscription rules that would make it easier to summon recruits and stop them from fleeing the country.
...

The new bill would require conscripts and other men eligible for military service to show up to recruitment offices after being notified not only physically, but also online, according to its announced revisions.

Lawmakers in the lower-house State Duma backed the bill in its third and final reading Tuesday.

“We’re introducing notifications by mail and offer the possibility to duplicate these summonses electronically,” Andrei Kartapolov, who chairs the State Duma’s Defense Committee, said Monday.

These electronic summonses would be equated to their paper analogs once the Duma adopts the changes, Kartapolov said.

Those who refuse to show up for service would face restrictions including being blocked from leaving Russia.

On Tuesday, Kartapolov said the new electronic summons would not only apply to conscripts, but all other men eligible for military service.

He added that the digital summons would be classified as received once they arrive in a recruit’s inbox on Russia's online public services portal, Gosuslugi.

Observers say the latest rules would make it tougher for eligible Russians to evade compulsory military service as authorities seek to scrape up more recruits to send into battle in Ukraine.

The electronic summons bill did not appear on the Duma’s website until a few hours ahead of its expected passing on Tuesday, according to independent journalist Farida Rustamova.

Russia’s upper-house Federation Council has meanwhile scheduled its single hearing of the bill for Wednesday.

Once the Federation Council votes on the bill — a step that is generally seen as a formality — it will then go to President Vladimir Putin to be signed into law.

Russia’s online army summons follow the recent digitalization of military recruitment offices, which Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu touted as an improvement over the “red tape and bureaucracy” of physical documents.

Get it? Basically if they sent it to you by e-mail - it means you'be been served, whether you've seen it or not. How could our GREAT CHRISTIAN LEADER allow abomination like that in THE LAST FREE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD?

I have a feeling the levels of Spam in Russia are going to be hysterical.

The priest of the state church spills the beans while apparently angling for lucrative "spiritual-rehabitation" gig to be assigned to his organization:

"We have a million wounded" - a Russian priest named the numbers of Russian army losses that he heard.

If there is a million wounded, then, according to military maths, there is three times less dead - about 300,000.

Can't be. There are just under 150 million Russians, 1/2 approximately are men so that's about 75 million men. If a million are injured, you'd for sure be seeing that, as it's 1/75th of the population.

But time will tell.

Draft dodge lvl
80:

Wildberries employees burned down the 100,000m² (25 acres) warehouse in Saint Petersburg in response to Putin's fascist raids at the location earlier today - masses of workers were arrested to be sent to fight in Ukraine. Wildberries is Russia's Amazon ripoff.

PPS.

Reading all these older posts here; boy did we get it all wrong!

In what world does burning down your place of employment because the government came in and kidnapped into the military your comrades make any sense???

Now you can’t work at that job, and have to find new work.

Military enlistment numbers are plummeting.

That’s the sound of young men getting wise to the DOD’s bullshit. Once they hit a critical low and the Biden Cartel ensnares itself in three foreign wars, they’ll have to bring back the draft. Fortunately for us, the new draft will have draconian DEI recruitment rules. Look for extremist, racist white males with Trump bumper stickers to be at the bottom of the list! Drag queens, furries, and transwomen: this is your time to shine. As you’re being airdropped into Yemen, we will be praying for you from our safe and secure locations at home.
