2/2 …It will be interesting to watch #MainstreamMedia world reconfigure itself. Not sure how many hardliners like myself are out there. There isn’t really any addiction to tube anything here so there isn’t any problem with the whole lot going belly up
"I’ve talked about the media’s problem with calling a lie a lie for many years — in fact, since my first year writing for the Times. Back then, faced with George W. Bush’s lies about taxes and Social Security, I suggested that if a candidate said the earth was flat, the headlines would read 'Views differ on shape of planet.' Yet media organizations still haven’t figured out how to deal with it."

WE SIMPLY GOTTA UNPLUG FROM THE NEWS, FROM TIME TO TIME
Well if they say so.
and therein lies the repudiation of "bothsidesism" as a legitimate equalizer... #MainStreamMedia
Wanning Sun, writing for Crikey, starts with a question:
"If you’re looking for an example of how our media can turn a good story into a bad one, simply pay attention to how Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s forthcoming visit to China is being reported."
She then goes on to give a couple of examples (from The Australian and SkyNews). One corker is The Australian refering to #BarnabyJoice as a 'Coalition heavyweight'. lol
Anyway, the article is a good reminder not to get too caught up with what msm reports on the #Labor govt. Which is a shame, because if msm was about #Journalism and #Reporting, then our govt might not be as 'tight lipped' as it is about the goings-on in the 'seat of power'.

Bill Moyers Was a Truth-Teller, Not a Stenographer for the Powerful
He showed a generation of journalists, scholars, and public intellectuals what it means to speak truth to power.

[Audio] Kriegseintritt der USA: Interview Özlem Demirel, Die Linke, MdEP (Deutschlandfunk, 2025-06-23, 08:12 CEST)
Hört zu, wie Recht Özlem Demirel hat, und wie frech die Moderatorin dazwischenschaltet immer wenn es gerade ankommt, was klar und deutlich ausgesprochen werden muss.
… Die unzählige Völkerrechtsbrüche von Israel, zum Beispiel.
Die Tatsache allein, solche Stimme bei #Deutschlandfunk in der Hauptsendezeit ausgestrahlt wird, macht doch Mut.

This is Jay Penske, the Trump-loving owner of the entertainment media sources Variety, Billboard, Deadline, Rolling Stone and The Hollywood Reporter. This is just a reminder to always look into who OWNS the media you consume and take this into consideration when trying to determine if the media is biased.

Another superb opinion piece by Council Estate Media.
Thunberg has been the object of ridicule by much of the mainstream media. It's as though the papers don't want to focus on the real news, like:
"So many aid massacres have taken place in Gaza that I've lost count"
"The British foreign secretary is so wedded to Israel, he is telling over 300 of his staff to resign if they don't like his support for genocide" and more..

"Israel attacked and stormed the UK-registered ship last night, kidnapping its crew. Despite the terrorist attack on a UK vessel, the UK government is completely ignoring the abduction – and the UK media are misrepresenting it in their coverage. The BBC’s bulletin on it this morning mentioned nothing about the violence and chemical attack, instead claiming Israel is simply ‘towing the ship to port’"
