“Until a journalist is actually able to bring a civil rights lawsuit to trial against the government for violating their First Amendment rights, it’s open season on anyone doing #journalism, and especially those without an in-house lawyer handy.” texasobserver.org/la-gordiloca…
The citizen-journalist and social media provocateur's case against local officials was thrown out in a decision that horrified First Amendment advocates.
"There is one by-product [of Orbán's defeat] that’s truly been a puzzlement. Across the media landscape, the chattering class has assayed the election and made what is—to it, anyway—a fresh discovery: What if political corruption is bad? And what if campaigning against corruption is a winning issue?"
The #techbro angle is well understood, but traditional media, that used to be more balanced, being capitalist entities that were dying, plutocrats merely purchased them and put their goons on the managing editor desks
Watch this video of Peter #Magyar going on #Hungary's version of #FoxNews (their state media) and announcing he is shutting them down
The hilarity continues with TMZ (of all outlets!) actually hitting Congress critters with the tough questions like the Beltway press is supposed to do. 😂

Now that all our national #media outlets are about as useful as inflatable dart boards, an unlikely hero emerges! Freaking TMZ is in #WashingtonDC to actually cover members of Congress as they come back from an undeserved vacation.
Now they're still trying to "both sides" things, which is bullcrap. They're still a trash outlet. BUT. They aren't afraid to anger members of Congress because they don't depend on that access for a living.
The intensity of combat operations on the frontline during the so-called “Easter ceasefire” declared by Russia did not actually change, with Russian forces using certain periods to rotate and regroup. — Ukrinform.
Cartoonist Rob Rogers was fired from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2018 for the cartoon below. While he seems to have done all right for himself, it's just one episode of many showing the rank cowardice of the media that contributed to this disaster.
La fin de "60 Millions de consommateurs" est un choix #politique
#Macron, qui ne cesse de faire des économies sur le dos des plus défavorisé·es, préfère se débarrasser d'un #média qui n'a jamais cessé de remplir sa mission d'intérêt public, plutôt que de s'attaquer à d'autres sources de revenus pour équilibrer les finances 2026. Comme par exemple faire davantage payer les milliardaires dont certains possèdent des chaînes d'opinion qui sont tout, sauf d'intérêt public arretsurimages.net/chroniques/…

Oracle have laid off 30k employees today. They did it to personal email accounts at 6am 🫡 saying they needed the money to spend on GenAI instead. thenextweb.com/news/oracle-lay…
"I assure you that if 8 million right leaning protesters had turned out against Obama it the NYT would have given it banner treatment eg POPULIST REVOLT."
"For more than a decade, the Reuters Institute Digital News Report has documented fundamental shifts in how young people (defined in this report as those aged 18–24) interact with and think about news during a period of significant technological, media, and political transformation. As ‘social natives’, this demographic is moving away from traditional news media like television, print, and even news websites, gravitating instead towards a social-first and audiovisual-heavy media diet, where news is one type of content consumed among many.
While much has been said about the perceived lack of news engagement among younger people, our research also documents a greater sense of alienation among this segment of the public, some of whom find traditional news irrelevant, difficult to understand, or unfairly biased against their demographic. Mismatches between journalistic output and the expectations of young audiences highlight the need for newsrooms to examine both the question of how to reach young people where they are and, equally important, how to do so with

"For more than a decade, the Reuters Institute Digital News Report has documented fundamental shifts in how young people (defined in this report as those aged 18–24) interact with and think about news during a period of significant technological, media, and political transformation. As ‘social natives’, this demographic is moving away from traditional news media like television, print, and even news websites, gravitating instead towards a social-first and audiovisual-heavy media diet, where news is one type of content consumed among many.
While much has been said about the perceived lack of news engagement among younger people, our research also documents a greater sense of alienation among this segment of the public, some of whom find traditional news irrelevant, difficult to understand, or unfairly biased against their demographic. Mismatches between journalistic output and the expectations of young audiences highlight the need for newsrooms to examine both the question of how to reach young people where they are and, equally important, how to do so with news they find relevant, engaging, and ultimately worth their attention. Meeting the needs of this segment is crucial, not just for the current stability of the journalism industry, but also for the future of democratic societies as young individuals transition through adulthood (Røsok-Dahl and Ihlebæk 2024).
In this report we bring together evidence from over a decade of Reuters Institute research to shed light on young audiences today. Understanding generational shifts is vital for the financial sustainability of the news industry, which depends on a pipeline of younger consumers who will keep coming back to news. It also matters for the democratic health of our societies, which requires individual citizens, including young people, to be informed and collectively share a basic understanding of the world."
Credulous repetition of the infantile fantasies of the wealthy. Not even Elon believes what he says, but the newspapers will repeat it anyway. He's an accelerationist. What the Indo don't say, and what he says between the lines, is that the future of abundance is only for the wealthy few, with everyone else gone #media
"Before Iran, there was Covid: Trump falls apart in a crisis. But journalists are still letting him write the headlines."
As Dan Froomkin says, this is exactly analogous to how the press behaved when Trump careened from lie to lie and bogus solution to bogus solution during the Covid crisis of his first term.

Media coverage of net zero is more than twice as likely to be negative than public attitudes and is driving a false perception that net zero policies are unpopular with voters, according to an analysis that identifies rightwing media narratives as fuelling a false backlash against climate action.
GB News is the propaganda arm of Reform UK Ltd, giving the Fascist Frog & his colleagues a free run through or around media guidelines & restrictions on politically biased broadcasting.
The UK Govt. has the means to do something about this via OfCom but does not... leaving us to draw our own conclusions about the manner in which Reform is being allowed to reshape the UK's political landscape.
Earth is still getting warmer, and #climate -related disasters continue, but since 2021, global #media coverage of #ClimateChange has dropped 38 percent.
