Hey CNN? Old white boomers complaining about wokeness isn’t going to help your ratings lol.
Push back on your Discovery MAGA overlords.
@heidikitrosser They don't have very many different strategies, or particularly sophisticated ones, but the ones that they do have appear to have been refined and calibrated until they are disproportionally effective. Of course billionaire allies buying the entire media also helps.
Today in 1943, 80 years ago: German companies begin to arrest and deport Jewish employees.
@Benfell @StillIRise1963 That is a good point, but just because I sympathize with their plight, that doesn't mean I must consume their inferior content.
I haven't bought a paper or paid a cable bill in 20 years, and yet I know that I am not uninformed compared to my peers. In my opinion, they are at this point doing more harm than good.
@Benfell @StillIRise1963 For sure. One could expect an average person to fall victim to such fallacious reasoning, but I thought that #journalists were supposed to be curious and seek the truth. Maybe it was naive of me to think that.
@prodygy You said " ask if sacrificing their lives is really worth it, just to own the libs. " If you could manage to find one who would answer honestly, I feel certain that the answer would be "Yes. Yes it is."
@SteveRogers It's been shown that if you can keep them away from the propaganda for a time, the hatred and brainwashing starts to fade. That's why they made sure to monopolize all forms of media; so that there is always garbage going in.
@kattullus They aren't good at providing a good experience, but they are good at making sure it's difficult to leave. I left for 2 years once, and I thought my account was gone and everything. But someone posted a facebook link that I followed, and, boom, I was magically logged in like I had never left.
@dangillmor Twiiter is on life support. The patient is brain dead. It's time to pull the plug.
Fox News won't let one of their hosts report on the testimony and evidence about their other host's willfully lying to their audience about the 2020 election. They also won't let MoveOn air an ad, for money, that highlights the lies their hosts told about the election. Fox wants to protect its bottom line and reputation, and keep its audience from the truth, because apparently their audience would rather be lied to! Fox is poisonous to our democracy, our society and our nation. Too many Fox viewers and right-wing media consumers, care only about their prejudices and maintaining their false models of reality and don't value the truth or democracy! Yet cable companies force the rest of us to pay for Fox whether we want it or not. Dump Fox and dump cable!! Fox News refusing ad featuring their hosts' election lies
@notwhatwethink That's is precisely the way to control the narrative. Before your Uncle Frank says the words "cancel culture" cut him off at the pass by asking him "how is it freedom and liberty to be forced to pay for a channel I don't watch?" Go on the offense; they aren't prepared for that.
And most importantly, don't complain about the media, BECOME THE MEDIA!
Just a tip for hacks out there:
When discussing the Russian invasion of #Ukraine, framing the war continuing as Ukrainians "holding out" or "refusing to give up", you're using Russian biased language.
If you're not framing the continuing war as Russia refusing to leave a country they have invaded, then you're not doing your job
