People skeeting stuff.
Bluesky Social is a microblogging social platform being developed in conjunction with the decentralized AT Protocol. Previously invite-only, the flagship Beta app went public in February 2024. All are welcome!
pfff, stop blaming one person for a facist nation. it is the people. twice! twice they voted him into office. and those voters are also the content creators in social media. ofcourse those dumbasses trust themselves more than anyone else. idiocracy.
It's inappropriate to blame the people when our current situation is eminently predictable. It is a law of human nature that when people get desperate enough, they will turn towards authoritarianism. When neither political party offers meaningful improvement in people's lives, they turn to demagogues who promise to muscle change through and to punish the other. We are the same humanity that put the Caesars and Napoleon into power. Human nature hasn't changed since ancient Rome. And desperation always brews dictatorship. Blaming the people for this is like blaming the people for the law of gravity.
And those who do then get branded with "TDS," mocked, and ignored.
Journalism in the US is dead. Being shocked or angry at anything the news does or doesn't say at this point is in "fools me twice, shame on me" territory.
You'd be better off asking Days of Our Lives to weigh in.
Journalism is not dead. Cable news/massive mega outlets are not conducting journalism. Lots of amazing outlets doing great work. 404 Media, for instance, has been crushing it lately.
I really like ProPublica and More Perfect Union.
We can all collectively thank Reagan, among other terrible things we have to deal with today due to his administration, he is also responsible for the state of news media in the US in 2025. Previous to Reagan we had a policy called The Fairness Doctrine, it was a policy introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints. Broadcasters could show opposing viewpoints via option pieces, news segments or talk shows, but if they reported on one side they were required to show the other.
In 1987 under Reagan the FCC abolished the Fairness Doctrine. Broadcasters were no longer required to air apposing viewpoints of controversial topics. This has directly lead to the echo chambers that you see in the news media today.
Just fyi it's Reagan* not Regan.
obligatory: I'm glad Reagan dead.
oops fixed now tx
Fox News is the center piece of the crazy.
Because they are morons getting stuck in the personality cults on demand that social networks are? There's plenty of news critical of Trump, but true news sources don't try to radicalize their viewers either. They all have their biases, bus social networks are the epitome of bias and social engineering.
The last few days
I guess that technically correct, as long as you're counting 4000 days as "the last few"
The billionaires control the media, and they want that money/influence train to keep rolling and not derailed by the government. Doing the bare minimum of whatever pleases both sides.
This is just wrong, all the media have criticized Trump from day one (except far right ones)
I'm sorry if basic facts come across as criticism? My headline today: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c20xel1e97gt
Social media ranking higher in trust isnt due to media accuracy. There are plenty of outlets that provide a consistent source of news. Its like the comments in here point to 5 bad news sites then smeer "news" as a whole. As if social media isnt 50x worse in every single metric.
Social Media ranks higher in trust because social media companies want users to trust the news they view on their platform. Social media "news" accounts constantly attack the reputation of traditional news outlets by pointing to bad news articles because they benefit directly from the audience losing trust.
You're gonna sit there and tell me you want less factual news about current events and more opinion hit pieces?
Unhelpful ass walrus fuck
Why are you yelling at that mirror over there?
At what level of "verifiable" does an opinion become a fact?
Is "Elmer Fudd is out here to shoot Wabbits" a hit-piece?
We have articles saying "Elmer Fudd has a history of hunting Wabbits and has purchased a seasonal Wabbit hunting permit"
You want articles that say "Terrorist Elmer Fudd is a carnivorous madman who will stop at nothing to capture Wabbits, skin them alive, and offer their hearts to Satan because he's such an idiot he thinks Satan is still a valid angel"
Let's stick to the strict truth as it happens. If you want to criticize anything then it should be that they're too conservative with their use of the term Terrorist or lack thereof. I respect Journalism as a career and I think there are many platforms and groups who do cover the news in a way that is enlightening and thought provoking.
The reason? People are stupid. Too much lead paint.
Yeah, fr, Journalists are out there risking their lives and being factual and impartial, but people like OP are being handfed by algorithms so as to not trust anyone but the hand.
Corpo journos are very partial and are often unfactual. Corporate media could disappear entirely and nothing of value would be lost.
