jorikiif you're a #news outlet (repeatedly) posting the same story in a new post, rather than boosting the original (which I can hide from my feed), I'm much less likely to follow you, and so less likely to read your stories

The free #Press and #NewsMedia is none of his #Business, but he wants to destroy it, whereever he can. Now is he about to break the #Constitution every Day ?

Be_OutsideALL newsmedia seems to have waay too much contextualizing problems in terms of economic fears and tariff distresses and not nearly enough context about the totally fascist gov, threats to sovereignty, and innocent people in concentration camps.
The Canadians whom are going to avoid the US for the foreseeable future care about tariffs but they honestly care much more about fascistic governments and concentration camps.
MOST #Canadian #newsmedia is failing to grasp this.

‘It never happened – but the picture says it did’: 28 fake images that fooled the world
From the pope in a puffer to the Princess of Wales and family, baby Hitler to Mussolini on horseback, people have always manipulated photographs, whether for political power, image control – or just for fun …
Matthew CullisThe Daily Aus has launched a campaign targeting Peter Dutton after his campaign has continued to ignore the media outlet for an interview.
Billie from TDA was originally pitching for a youth leaders debate, but it was even a no to Zara (co-founder) for an interview request.
TDA's target audience is young people, with a majority of its content appearing on Instagram.
TDA is asking followers to tag Dutton in comments on their post.
Jonathan KamensMost of the #newsMedia people I've interacted with since I started making a stink about being fired by #DOGE have been extremely competent and on the ball.
And then there's the #MSNBC producer who (a) messaged my daughter instead of me, (b) did not provide my daughter with her email address, and (c) is not on Signal at the phone number she texted my daughter from, and (d) sent me a connection request on LinkedIn instead of an InMail. *sigh*

I would, but this is a terrible graph. For a start, axes are not labeled. So while I can guess that the numbers along the bottom are years, showing change over time, the numbers up the side are a mystery. Are they $ or %? Are there implied 0s after them? How many?

First there was Dracula, followed by Nosferatu. Buffy the Vampire Slayer despatched a few, but then we were shown What We Do in the Shadows. However, for the cold-hearted realities of vampirism, nothing beats that on-going series The Advertising Standards Authority’s Advertising Turnover Report. In a chillingly sangfroid fashion, its latest episode indicates that yet … Continue reading BUT WAIT…THERE’S MORE (BEING SUCKED AWAY) →
The NZ Advertising Standards Authority has released its annual report on advertising revenue. I'm hearing about it on RNZ MediaWatch, who referenced this column by Gavin Ellis;

Once again, the stats show that the bulk of ad money spent in NZ is going to the DataFarms. The handful of giant, multinational platforms owned by Silicon Valley oligarchs. Once again, I recommend @pluralistic's piece on this;

Otis WhiteThe good capitalist: Remembering the business financier who, worried about an America with no state and local news sources, set out to remedy the problem. He did it through nonprofit news organizations, starting in TX, then elsewhere. Said one admirer: “John Thornton changed American journalism—and saved it.” https://www.texastribune.org/2025/04/01/john-thornton-texas-tribune-founder/ #newsmedia
DB 🌱💦News media really has to stop asking entertainers what they think about world affairs. If they hadn't maybe we wouldn't now be in the mess we're in.
Good on Bill Burr for calling this out as weak and cowardly journalism.
