Failed media is when a MAGA politician apparently helped his grandson get guns to kill LGBTQ people, Alito apparently leaked the Hobby Lobby decision & maybe Hobbs, & 7 mass murder shootings in 7 days—but there’s more coverage of Biden’s granddaughter getting married at the WH.🤦🏽‍♂️
@QasimRashid and global warming, emergence of AMR pathogens, dwindling water access. You know, boring stuff.
@QasimRashid love your content. Keep it going!
@QasimRashid other than , she gott married at the whitehouse, there's no story imo
@QasimRashid absolutely disgusting. Should have used ricin (breaking bad)
@QasimRashid definite failed media. I have heard nothing of a MAGA politician helping his grandson get guns. Who is it? What politician?
@QasimRashid Exactly. We need a real media criticism site. Not the ridiculousness of Mediaite.
@QasimRashid
I'm afraid it's all too clear that in my country people have become inured to mass murder. The only response is talk and more talk.
@QasimRashid with emphasis on their age difference by the GOP
@QasimRashid Of course. Priorities 🙄
@QasimRashid The media sees the endless commentary on the Tiffany wedding and breathless snark on Gargoyle getting cropped, and concludes that this is what sells. 🤷‍♂️

@QasimRashid As a retired journalist, I strongly believe journalism needs to take a step back and examine exactly how using standard reporting techniques is no longer valid. In fact, it does a great disservice to our country and it’s peoples.

In a journalism Facebook group I belong to, there is much discussion on this point but the old timers continue to vehemently insist on always including both sides of any issue, even if either side is lying and inciting violence and hatred

@QasimRashid Hello Qasim Rashid.

Can you post about Musk's latest poll on Twitter. It's important anyone with an account vote. This is the poll question. "Should Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam?"

@QasimRashid this seems pretty extreme
@QasimRashid NPR covers these topics. Not all media is failed media. Just like any diet, consumers need to make responsible choices on what they ingest, be it food or news. Junk news is as bad for the brain as junk food is for the body
@QasimRashid
That’s why I:
•go to Twitter (and now its substitutes like Mstdn) first
•subscribe to small news outlets like Mississippi Free Press for news in my inbox - I pay for some of them
•subscribe to the (paid) LA Times print edition even though I usually read it on line.
Social media doesn’t have editors. If I don’t want to read about the Biden family’s wedding and complaints by those who feel snubbed for not being invited - I can scroll on down.
@QasimRashid when the rich own the media, don’t expect them to criticize their masters.
@QasimRashid and not inviting them 🤦‍♀️
@StacyJenel How dare they not invite media. Truly a scandal beyond all scandals.🙄
