  Yes you do.

    Why??

    • TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Social media and news is overwhelmingly controlled or otherwise influenced/flooded by the right or those acting on their behalf.

      • peregrin5@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        It’s pretty easy to explain too. Social media and traditional media are all owned by billionaires and they want to push a rightwing agenda because that means less taxes for them and fuck everyone else.

        I keep one emergency leave day aside so I can celebrate when Rupert Murdoch finally fucking croaks

        Yeah his kids are probably no better, perhaps even worse, but god damn I fucking hate that piece of shit

        No, it’s not that it’s controlled. It’s that none of you participate or share this stuff. “They’re owned by X” argument is just an excuse.

      I’ll give you a hint: billionaires don’t buy newspapers, social media and TV channels with shitty-shit Returns On Investment (if at all profitable) to make money from them - what they’re really buying isn’t the business, it’s an audience for “opinion making”.

  Because outlets like The Washington Times are on this list. This is going to be a PR nightmare for them.

  • fullsquare@awful.systems ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    idk if cult owned far right rag has that much pull (it’s not washington post, owned by bezos)

    source

    • tonytins@pawb.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Fair enough. Similarly outlets can get confusing.

        Pretty confident that’s the intention of that name

  I bet there’s some left leaning publications that would appreciate the tip?

  • otp@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    In North America, most major mainstream news companies are owned by right-wing or right-leaning corporations. In Canada, I think it’s literally all of them.

      I’m aware. But others do still exist and may be looking for a story.

  Because they’re shitty little sites no one has ever heard of?

  clients have included

  Whoop dee do. Yes, I’m sure the scum that were name dropped threw a couple of shillings in the pile.

  And what kind of crazy revelations will come of this?! Well, maybe if something actually comes out, you’ll have your story.
