This is worth a listen. Dobelli is not a fan of “news” nor of #SocialMedia.

The big question is whether there is such a thing as good news? Maybe useful news? What form does it take? Same holds true for social media

On Oct. 20, 2023 Egyptian journalist Rahma Zein nailed CNN's liar-in-chief Clarissa Ward.

The fact that 20 months later Western news media is still lying about what is happening in Palestine, continues to prove how right she was.

News sites who use embedded Twitter/X content are very problematic. We can't take news media seriously because they use social media content owned (and ruined) by the far-right. If they really need to publish content, they should copy and paste it on their own site. Not very difficult to do.

Funny thing is that most of the time I don't even see it or I see a warning with the question if I want to unlock that hellsite. Uh... 🤔 ... no! This of course because of my strict browser settings and ad-blocker.

Here's Piers Morgan mercilessly grilling an Israeli spokesperson. Could it be Piers is getting a little worried about having aided and abetted Israel's genocide for more than a year and half?

“You don’t ask the perpetrator of genocide their opinion.” - Dr. Tanya Haj Hassan responding to BBC news host Martine Croxall

“Mr. Himmler what is your response to these accusations of gas chamber asphyxiations?”

The BBC is so broken. Journalism is so broken.

The state of the legacy news media industry summed up nicely in a sub-2 minute comedy sketch;

How can anyone say NZ news media have a left bias when The Post is publishing political "analysis" pieces by Luke Malpass, which read like a series of NatACT talking points.

If you ask most people why they interact with news sources, you’ll hear some version of the same answer. We do it to stay informed. But some of us find that the price of staying informed is too high.

Most people don't trust most news most of the time, according to research from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism. “Our problem is not simply that the public does not trust us, it’s that they do trust other dishonest brokers,” said Columbia Journalism School dean Jelani Cobb. He says that journalists should be more transparent in order to create trust. Nieman Lab's Gretel Kahn spoke to editors and journalists in Spain, Sweden, the U.S. and the U.S. about what that might look like. "We often make mistakes," says Eva Belmonte, managing editor of Spanish news outlet Civio. "But if you have explained how you've reached your conclusion and then you have done it wrong, at least you have explained your process."

Do you think greater transparency would increase trust in media?
