Thanks, hadn't heard of that and it's interesting. I think the stumbling block for me is I always forget how many non-rich people want to facilitate the rich. Kind of like Salacious Crumb on the shoulder of Jabba.
No worries. I only wrote one line cos you don't really like me replying to you in my threads, but if you're interested in knowing more my other comment in here explains how this is different from Gaza and we have a better chance of stopping it.
I've had an alt on facebook for years. Just give it a realistic name and fill in all the crap about its likes and dislikes education etc and make it join some groups.
As long as it's believably a person they leave it alone.
Just to be clear I'm not trying to disagree with OP's article.
Let alone set up some kind of binary where CNN is somehow exempt. I was just making an observation about this demographic.
I'm not American so I don't see these channels but their online coverage is biased AF.
In some of the threads about Tiktok I've been saying that I think the generational divide is more between boomers who watch TV news cycles versus people who get more varied sources of info online. Had to watch our free-to-air TV a couple of weeks ago and the news on the Gaza Genocide was ridiculously pro IDF.
Tagging @macabrett who made a similar point to me.
I was going to say CIA at first but then I remembered my parents telling me that is its own country.
Idk I feel like as citizens we need some kind of organization that protects our political systems. There's a weird assault on democracy in my country at the moment too (not coups just unconstitutional legislation) and it really highlights the dangers now that disaster capitalists are on the rise.
There's no such thing as free speech as an absolute in practice.
For example patents, IP, defamation laws, copyright, state secrets, sealed courts, false advertising laws, all these things create limits to speech in the US.
Freud's theories are pretty simple to understand and easy to map onto. Back when Freud was influential, people were easily able to import and use it in their literary theory, philosophy etc. Same thing happened with Lacan but since Lacan builds on Freud it's essentially the same thing.
In order to use an updated understanding of psychology or even better, neurology, people would have to learn a whe lot of much more complex theory and facts, and explain it to their readers, and apply it into their own thing.
It's much easier for an overworked academic to take this wrong but much-used system that everyone already knows.
Presumably a big chunk of the cable news demographic are watching Fox, which notoriously has been proven to leave its viewers knowing less than people who don't watch news at all.
Thank you. Mainstream media have been trying to "both sides" this.
