While Donald Trump’s attacks on the Fed are deeply authoritarian, the institution itself is far from blameless. From the 2008 crash to the pandemic, its primary aim has been to protect the interests of the wealthy.
It’s pathetic hearing various servants of capital (eg. npr) continually insist that the fed is “independent”.
Obfuscating the class character of the bourgeois state is part of the role of private media.
NPR is basically a liberalism bath.
