no such comparison was made.
Yes it was! The Indian government revoked nonprofit status from not-for-profit media and you justified it by saying the NYT is bad.
oic how it that comparison can exist now, thanks for making me aware.
my intention was point out that for-profit media was duplicitous & dominant whereas non-profits were powerless & derided or ignored as a result; therefore its future disappearance in the west, like is happening in india rn, will be met with celebration, if anything at all.
For-profit news media shouldn't even exist.
Ending nonprofits is coming, for sure, but it's not a good thing and shouldn't be celebrated. All nonprofit status does is allow independent media outlets pay a lower tax rate. Ending that means hurting their ability to function, which helps for-profit outlets like NYT!
if it's celebrated; it'll be seen as "shutting down the dirty commies" and such celebrations are already evident in news organizations de-listings like al jazeera and demises like telesur, as well as leftist social media banning like tiktok.
I don't think a majority will celebrate it, it'll just be the same loud minority as always.
