The ball is rolling on the U.S., Canada, and Mexico’s attempts at a free trade agreement, yet here we are—June is slipping away, and they’re about to let the July 1 deadline slide right past them. It’s astonishing how the corporate media—I’m looking at you, CNN and MSNBC—tries to downplay this blatant lack of urgency. Where’s the accountability for these politicians? Instead, they’re crafting narratives that frame this failure as just another ‘negotiation strategy.’ Please. This is a grossly neglected issue in favor of talking points that the average American doesn’t care about.

Meanwhile, outlets like Fox News have their own spin, often portraying the situation as if it’s a titanic showdown between trade titans, but come on. They’re simply pawns in an economic game that is a bad deal for regular folks. They’re so caught up in the spectacle that they ignore the real implications of stunted trade relations, which can ripple out and harm small businesses across the board.

Both sides of the aisle love to act like they are firm in their stances. But let’s get real—this isn’t about the little guy; it’s about corporate profits. These politicians need to hear the voices from Main Street, not the echo chamber of their donor-funded think tanks. Americans deserve honest coverage, not the sanitized narratives that corporate media sells. The clock is ticking, and the future of our economies hangs in the balance. Enough is enough.
