🚨 owner of the #LATimes just invited the king of the crypto bros #MarcAndreessen, a man whose VC fund #a16z has backed innumerable scams in all shades of fraud (see: #Yotta and #Synapse most recently) in addition to companies that facilitate incredible amounts of Russian #moneylaundering to join the editorial board.

andreessen spewed so many outright lies on #JoeRogan a few weeks ago that it kind of spawned an entire cottage industry of line by line takedowns of his bullshit: https://universeodon.com/@cryptadamist/113603397835078618

seems like the kind of guy #journalism needs right now

Washington Post Kills a Cartoon, Cartoonist Resigns, Good for Her

I’ve been impressed with the news coverage generated by cartoonist, #AnnTelnaes’ impactful resignation from her gig at the Washington Post

Her resignation and statement made her point loudly and effectively about the disturbing influence that billionaires, who are sympathetic to #Trump, like the WA Post’s Jeff #Bezos and LA Times’ Patrick #SoonShiong, have on media that we’ve traditionally been able to trust.

Perhaps one resignation is worth a thousand #Cartoons. Too bad you can only resign once 🤔

More cartoons at the link below, all good!

it doesn’t take a Pulitzer prize winning investigative reporting team to suss out why the LA Times owner is censoring content critical of the Trump administration - he wants a government position, to advance his private business interests

[T]he bromide of just being balanced is a terrible dereliction of journalists’ first defining responsibility of reporting the truth. Soon-Shiong apparently would have the Times deliver an on-the-one-hand, on-the-other-hand presentation to readers. But there is no “other hand.” Trump is an inveterate liar, and journalists have a defining responsibility to call that out."
