This is the crux of the #Trump problem vis a vis the #media #news #misinformation #disinformation #lies #Maga #MagaMedia

It's a quote from Oliver Darcy on Bluesky. I think his newsletter status.news is paywalled

But this is a perfect summary
The issue gets to the difficulty all news networks are grappling with as Trump returns to power. News executives believe that their programming should reflect the views of Americans across the political spectrum and are hesitant, to say the least, of icing out half the country in their coverage. But, at the same time, much of the country believes falsehoods pushed by Trump and his MAGA allies, such as the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. What is a news organization to do when so many people have been misinformed, almost entirely due to the toxic waste contaminating the public discourse as a result of Trump's lies and the propaganda pushed by his allies? Is it really the journalistically prudent decision to fold into coverage viewpoints that are not grounded in reality? Of course, the answer is quite simple: Amplifying those who promote falsehoods, even if they genuinely believe them, only serves to misinform audiences. But arriving at that conclusion would also mean acknowledging that truth-based organizations are primarily only going to serve one-half of the country, given that the vast majority of the Republican Party is under the trance of Trump and his propagandists. And that seems to be a reality that too many news executives, constantly enamored with attracting conservative eyeballs, simply cannot accept.


Meta is abandoning its misinformation program despite studies showing such programs are effective.

▪️ Why abandon it?

▪️ What impact could this have on misinformation online?

▪️ Why might Meta qualify this as a "censorship" issue?

▪️ How might young people be harmed as a result of this?

“Collapsing Empire: RIP 'Overt Operations'”

by Kit Klarenberg in Global Delinquents on Substack

“It also demonstrates that ‘overt operations’ with open US funding are now the very ‘kiss of death’ the Endowment was meant to replace. The Empire is on the run.”

“Every sensible person understands the job of the BBC is to water down criticism of Israel and make false equivalences so it looks like both sides are equally to blame for genocide.”

“They Lied About Gaza, And They’re Lying About Syria”

by Caitlin Johnson in Caitlin’s Newsletter on Substack

“There are a lot of people who see through the imperial lies about Gaza but still buy into the imperial lies about Syria, largely because the lies about Gaza are so much easier to see through.”

Twitter is, indeed, for the birds: dodos, cuckoos, turkeys, buzzards, vultures, et al. In spite of what its logo may suggest, there are no quaint bluebirds anywhere to be found in that nihilistic narcissist’s nest.

Reminder: Beware of propagandists for #Russia and #Syria posing as journalists.

These people are often strongly anti #genocide in #Gaza (good) but defend genocide in #Ukraine etc (bad).

The Conversation: Social media platforms are throttling access to news – with far-reaching implications for democracy. “API restrictions – such as those suddenly imposed by X before the US presidential election – limit what goes in and what comes out of a platform, including news….

David Speers. Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly will fill the void.

This week for #FactFriday I want to point out some of the more subtle ways that #misinformation and #disinformation is spread on #blogs and #SocialMedia by people I am dubbing the #Disinformati (the #Illuminati of disinformation 😉 ) as a cautionary tale of what to be aware of when on these sites. I have encountered all of this in the realm of #Mathematics #Maths #Math but the take-aways apply equally to all subjects....


#ABC news director Justin Stevens spent the same amount of time covering Michael Rowland's hair as he did to covering a major press conference from the PM on 30 new pieces of legislation...150 seconds.

Why is David Speers all-in on the #Murdoch driven #SocialMedia ban?

Murdoch's brainwashed Speers that Social Media is evil and Murdoch is pure.

#ABC news director Justin Stevens ran Trump rallies uninterrupted for hours, but when the Oz PM is giving a major update to the public about 30 pieces of legislation he gets cut off after just 150 seconds.

Any questions from journalists? 🤷‍♂️

Reminder: Russian assets like Katie Halper, Cornel West and Jill Stein used #Israel’s #genocide in #Gaza as a prop to divide and conquer the Left and help #Trump win (again).

They are fake progressives.
