The Media/Journalism Thread


Recommended Posts

BBC World News chose to open their broadcast not with the story of the far-right group that were planning to storm the German Parliament but…wait for it…Harry and Meghan’s Netflix docustory series?? Huh? The Brits need to get their media sorted because their obsession is pulling their priorities out of whack. I am feeling a shade of secondhand embarrassment for them.

Musk also disbanded the Trust and Safety group , among a host of other cost cutting measures, and more firings, of course.

Perhaps this is wild speculation but, it sounds extreme and unsettling. If I still had an account on Twitter, I would be worried, tbh.
