These structural factors that dominate media operations are not alI-controlling and do not always produce simple and homogeneous results… The beauty of the system, however, is that such dissent and inconvenient information are kept within bounds and at the margins, so that while their presence shows that the system is not monolithic, they are not large enough to interfere unduly with the domination of the official agenda.

El Pais is a brand of PRISA, an advertising and media conglomerate with headquarters in Madrid, Spain.
CNN is part of the Warner Bros. Discovery advertising portfolio. CNN staff say network’s pro-Israel slant amounts to ‘journalistic malpractice’.
Voice of America (VOA) is a state media network funded by the United States of America, whose purpose is to project soft power through journalism. In 2005, the Washington Post reported that suspected Al-qaeda operatives were flown into Thailand to be detained and tortured. VOA’s remote relay radio station in Udon Thani province has been widely suspected to be the torture site.
Yeah, not a lot of discussion in the community :/
I can’t find !abc – I guess it overlaps with another community like !abolition so you can’t mouse-over it.
The Democrat’s still haven’t updated their party platform on climate change since before Joe Biden was elected. It sits, frozen in time, with nuggets like “We will take immediate action to reverse the Trump Administration’s dangerous and destructive rollbacks of critical climate and environmental protections.” and “We will rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement” like those things are a step forward rather than a return to the catastrophic status quo.
Hopefully Camila Thorndike can change that.
MBFC claiming CNN is Left-Center, when it is owned by conservative billionaire John Malone. This is an example of MBFC’s intentional distortion of the political spectrum by falsely representing it as dominated by a left-wing bias.
An example of CNN’s actual right-wing bias is when they put an obvious Trump Supporter on their recent panel of ‘undecided voters’. According to Parker Molloy from The New Republic, this isn’t “an isolated case of questionable representation in CNN’s voter panels. In fact, it appears to be part of a troubling pattern stretching back years.” She suggests it could be “a potential willingness to mislead viewers for the sake of compelling television.” - media ownership and their profit motive, and complicity of the media elite are sources of bias that MBFC does not adequately account for.
If you want to understand how propaganda works, learn the five filters of the propaganda model.
“Every life is precious, I learned that firsthand when I nearly experienced a post third-trimester abortion in Afghanistan.”
Do you unironically believe Martin Luther King Jr. wanted Barry Goldwater to win when he increased his civil rights protest organizing in defiance of Lyndon B Johnson during the lead up to the 1964 presidential election?

Yeah, it’s good enough to repeat. It would be nice to have a listing so that its easier to keep track of which ones have been posted and which ones haven’t yet. The auto-crosspost check doesn’t help with invidious links. Repost away!
This whole series is classic.
Fuck the Heritage Foundation.

Also, in memoriam:
Small clarification, @MindTraveller participated in that thread, but was banned while a comment of theirs was removed in a separate post. That’s why they’re not included in the list.

As stated elsewhere in the thread, my vote audit shows no participation from any of the 29 banned sock accounts the in the !news feedback thread, or this one for that matter. Please take the votes more seriously. If you’d like to spread FUD about the legitimacy of a vote, ask an admin to audit them first so you can state with evidence that a specific vote has been manipulated.
People trust the software to tell them what others are thinking, and if you successfully spread the false idea that votes that disagree with you are manipulated, you’re not just arguing in bad faith, you’re undermining the federated system we should all want to succeed.
That looks great! Where is this?
