Billionaire propaganda corps need billion dollar fines or else its just an insignificant business cost.

Since the #RepubliCon #PutinAgents have succeeded in getting much the media to spread lies like russians...best that democratically minded people get up to speed on "reading russian".

Make them prove efficacy before they can sell their spider leg and eye of newt concoctions. So fucking stupid to not regulate the snake oil...like not regulating an addictive disinformation machine in everyone's hand.

Regulations are social goods.

Once you decide to be a defender of democracy instead of a scared rabbit this one is simple:

RNC weighs limiting NBC’s access at this summer’s convention >>> https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/28/rnc-nbc-convention-ronna-mcdaniel-00149620

NBC should just call their bluff, and say OK, if we don't get full access we won't cover your convention at all.

AND the other networks should back them up and tell the RNC that everyone gets full access or they aren't covering it either.

Enough of this garbage!

@samlitzinger

Very true. Though Rosen says the media is getting better about identifying untruths. The more sublet point is that they still report these untruths, albeit as untruths, but in so doing normalize dishonesty as a viable political strategy. The net effect is still to abdicate their role as defenders of the truth and by extension as defenders of democracy.

NYU Journalism Professor Jay Rosen is one of the smartest people on the intersection of media and politics. A couple days ago he was interviewed for this podcast about the NBC Ronna McDaniel matter: https://newrepublic.com/article/180118/nbc-meltdown-ronna-mcdaniel-hiring-fiasco

This highly recommended discussion, which could be co-title The War On Truth, is essential to a broader understanding of the media today as it tries to apply normal methods to a candidate and party that fundamentally play by different rules.

"The Putin GOP wants misinformation to reign as we head into the 2024 election. Without lies, they can’t win most competitive elections, and they want to keep those lies safe from fact-checking, regardless of what accurate information the voters need or the damage they inflict on our nation."

~ Thom Hartmann

These next few elections all around the globe are going to be our species' most important ones in history because of the #WarOnTruth that the fossil fuel industry is waging in order to protect their polluting profits imo.

The covid and anti-vaxx anti-science crap is just part of their longterm #WarOnTruth in order to help block #ClimateAction I'm pretty darn sure.

Y'all know that this virulent anti-science crap about covid and vaccines is just part of their long running #WarOnTruth in order to help them to block #ClimateAction right? https://www.mediamatters.org/sean-hannity/sean-hannity-suggests-without-evidence-bronny-james-cardiac-arrest-was-caused-covid-19
