IMO, If we could just start by busting up Corporate media (crush foreign ownership) and block toxic social media platforms (a return to censorship, I know… but, there’s the fediverse alternative!) we’d have won the battle and be well on the way to win the war. So, some legislation is still required.
The de-zombification of the Australian electorate cannot suceed when we condone the proliferation of zombie-drugs (aka see all of the above).

Also can anyone share with me any news outlets out of the U.S ? I’ve seen images of people protesting Trumps Presidency but no news outlets are talking about this. #NewsOutlets #ThankYou
FYI: Fascist #Project2025 ghoul #BrendanCarr who is the new #FCC chair, is going after #newsoutlets for...criticizing Trump.
That's what NEWS OUTLETS are supposed to do! CRITICISE GOVERNMENT.

#Republicans Are Already Trying to Grant #Trump Dangerous Powers
Opinion by #HafizRashid
November 15, 2024
"House Republicans are trying to push through a bill that would give President-Elect #DonaldTrump powers as president to designate #nonprofit organizations as '#TerroristSupporting' even after it was seemingly defeated earlier this week.
"The Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act #HR9495 would allow the secretary of the treasury the ability to revoke any nonprofit organization’s tax-exempt status by branding it with a terrorism label. Earlier this week, the bill failed to receive the necessary two-thirds majority in the House to advance to the Senate.
"But on Monday, the House Rules Committee plans to hold a hearing that could set up a new vote on the bill, which initially had the support of all but one Republican and 52 Democrats. With the GOP only holding a seven seat majority in the chamber, they would need the support of more Democrats to advance the bill, which was introduced to combat #protests against #Israel’s war on #Gaza.
"Under any circumstances, the bill would threaten #FirstAmendment rights to #FreeSpeech, but after Trump’s election last week, there are now fears that the president-elect could use these new powers to crack down on his enemies with little recourse. Many #universities and #NewsOutlets are nonprofit organizations in addition to #activist groups.
"After the bill’s initial failure on Tuesday, the American Civil Liberties Union [#ACLU] celebrated the rejection of 'new broad and easily abused powers.'
"'The freedom to #dissent without fear of government retribution is a vital part of any well-functioning democracy, and now is not the time to grant the executive branch new powers to investigate and functionally shut down and silence its critics,' said Kia Hamadanchy, senior policy counsel for the ACLU, in a statement.
"Now, the bill could be given a retooling and sent up for a vote again, giving a president who has already threatened to use the #military against his critics even more sweeping powers. The question is if #Democrats will recognize the bill as granting dangerous powers to the presidency, or see it as a chance to clamp down on protesters they have tried to ignore at their peril for the past year.'"

FYI everyone please watch the entire segment. #LawrenceODonnell seriously GOES OFF! on the #media / #press / #journalists / #CableNewsNetworks / #NewsOutlets etc for their utterly #irresponsible & #imbalanced coverage / questioning of #Trump vs #Biden & the #BidenAdministration.
He was brilliant.
More of this please.
Journalism is Collapsing with Matt Pearce - FACTUALLY! WITH ADAM CONOVER MAR 13 ⋅ The profession of journalism is facing a crisis. Recent years have brought devastating layoffs to nearly every major news outlet, with local newspapers shuttering daily. - https://overcast.fm/+BBanRMPadg #journalism #LocalNews #LocalNewspapers #NewsOutlets #AdamConover #factually
I know I keep hearing #NewsOutlets discussing how "making news is expensive, so ads are how we pay for it" or "we have to gatekeep these critical news articles, with paid subscriptions in order to survive!"
Bullshit. Ronna McDaniels was hired for 300K per year to occasionally show up and talk bullshit to sell right wing ideology.
How about NOT hiring people like that? How about NOT hiring people like Geraldo (Junk journalist, always has been) for 2-300K/annum, and pay, I dunno, a decent 150K to two other quality journalists?

Actually, #TexasObserver, and other #newsoutlets, are an important additional factor:
if you are interested in any areas of #MediaOnMastodon (at all), then you should follow that #handle. The more followers a media presence has here, the easier it is to explain the (presently) additional expenditure to their board.
Also, it helps them in their business model and marketing.
@SassyCarrie @sortius you can create a list, where you follow f.e. #ausNews and Australian #NewsOutlets and #AusJornos as time goes on, you will be able to refine your list and hashtags to curate the feed to your liking.
You have a lot of options.
The federated feed with the insane speed knows all instances, to which the users of the instance, which you're on, are connected to. So you can help this instance to get to know more Australian instances and improve relevancy.
