Ok, how about from the New Testament: "Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.” - Mark 12:31

Chuck Schumer introduced the ‘no kings act’ which, if passed into law, would:

1. Reaffirm that president’s and vice president’s do not have immunity for actions that violate U.S. criminal law
2. Remove the supreme court’s appellate jurisdiction for all actions challenging the constitutionality of this legislation (referring to the no kings act I believe)
3. Establish additional jurisdiction and procedural guardrails. Allowing the United States to bring criminal action against a President or Vice President in any applicable district Court.

I think this is a good stop gap and I will be emailing my senators and representative to support this bill

That’s like saying, “Let’s not put the gun away even though the toddler is near it because there’s no guarantee the toddler will play with the gun”

A recent Supreme Court ruling gives the president sweeping immunity. Do you think Trump won’t abuse that to keep himself or one of his friends in power ad infinitum?

I disagree with your point that private organizations dont go against the status quo in the US. I can’t turn on any news agency in the States without seeing headlines about where the US government is failing. and which political party is blamed for said failure depends on the bias of the news agency.

I 100% agree that news agencies are biased to their business elites in the US, but the foreign policy bias you mention is more related to that news agencies’ particular politcal leanings.

I find it hard to believe that the business elites that own news agencies are trying to sway the american peoples view of china because they feel they are losing some petty competition to make more money. We’ve seen the global opinion of china fall greatly since 2008, mostly due to how china is treating its people through strict surveilance, its attempt to control its neighbors, its use of wolfe warrior diplomacy, and increase aggression on the global stage.

You make fair and valid points, but the propaganda the US government creates does not stand alone in the american media sphere. We have the freedom to explore other ideas on the internet or purchase movies, tv shows, music, and articles from all around the world with little to no censorship. Thus, american propaganda influence faces more competition than its chinese counterpart.

Can it really be called propaganda if the information doesn’t come from the US government? China’s news outlets are state owned. America has NPR and PBS, which are not particularly popular compared to privately owned news outlets in the US.
