@kevinrothrock “Keep in mind, The news media are not independent; they are sort of a bulletin board and public relations firm for the ruling class-the people who run things. Those who decide what news you will or will not hear are paid by, and“ tolerated purely at the whim of, those who hold economic power. If the parent corporation doesn’t want you know something, it won’t be on the news. Period. “

@Leefellerguy @kevinrothrock

Using the propaganda model...news businesses favoring profit over the public interest succeed, whilst those favoring reportorial accuracy over profits fail — and are relegated to the margins of their markets (low sales and ratings).

@Savvyhomestead @kevinrothrock Seems to me if super wealthy own the media, people like Bezos profit is not the motive, like Musk X as most of if not all media? They can bankroll the media for ever, you know like politicians.
