Rename USA in the maps to Northern Mexico. Keep calling it “Gulf of Mexico”. Problem solved.

…on a more serious note, the article shows what’s up here:

But it also proved to be an early test of how institutions would — or would not — stand up to unilateral presidential action without precedent. Google, Apple, and Microsoft all got in line. But news organizations, for the most part, did not.

Or perhaps it’s that the information ecosystem still has a little institutional wherewithal. When Trump cast the AP out of the Oval Office — and took unprecedented control of who gets to cover the president when — the White House press corps didn’t exactly rise up united in rebellion.

Those were the main part, really: the tiny-dicked kinglet was testing the waters on which entities would fight back, and which would do as told as a sign of loyalty.

As a silver lining I’m really glad to see the sheer amount of vitriol people are directing towards GAFAM.
