When Adorno (and Horkeimer, too) arrived in the US it is fair to say they were alarmed by the level of propagandisation the American people experienced. This while they had come from Nazi Germany as exiles. Seriously gotten much more for all of us, and we see the spoils. Time to get it.

Dear @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social, Americans are listening to you (as many of us in Canada are). We know you can understand the assignment. Give them news, not an ill-timed and tone-deaf space flight.
