Reagan’s FCC overturning the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 is to thank for this. He and Nixon oversaw an incredible amount of societal and governmental sabotage. Quite the legacy.
It’s so much worse now, with these corpo propaganda outlets pretending that both parties are legitimate political parties representing people and not just fundraising/grifting organizations.
Yep, this is good for Lemmy
Morons, who play right into the hands of HR!

Biden’s people have an interest in keeping their jobs for the next 4 years, let’s be real here.
I’m sorry you had to witness that. I wonder if it’s possible to incentivize conservation, or if the solution would just be regulation with teeth.
Pretty insightful, and quite possible as people are being trained on the “app experience” vs computing proper.
Been working great for me for years! You do need to take care when setting up for a stable and consistent experience, but their docs are pretty thorough and regularly updated.
Corpo propaganda resulting in a condition called “Brain Rotting”
Please…no Bakula.
The doohickey?!
Epic trolled by my friend, my first was Gentoo
This tracks. I once heard from a former employee that the meat they use is literally the same USDA grade used in dog food. Technically edible, but not exactly a high mark for quality.
This feels a bit like awkward social commentary, which I’m going to overlook to try to answer your question. In DS9 there are a few takes on tabloids and newscasts. There’s an episode where the crew is working an old-time print newspaper gig, and also the war updates/propaganda
Also, in voyager Neelix has a much beloved vlog/newsletter about goings-on around the ship
I guess we won’t be able to criticize the democrats for becoming Nazis when the republicans become the party of skynet-worshipping nuclear extinction cultists, because at least the democrats don’t plan on killing everyone.

It’s too big for email, and likely too big for Dropbox or Gdrive unless you have a paid account with them.
That means you’re going to have to get slightly technical. Find a freeware SFTP program that can spawn a server on the host, and connect to it from the client to download the file.
Good luck!
Same, but to be fair we really should have watched it by now
Yo, is The Economist purely rage bait articles?!
Maybe…to tell you the truth, I’m not sure if the Fairness Doctrine fits this world anymore. You’re right though, while the president can light the fire, it will ultimately be up to Congress to actually do something about it.
Right now corporate news agencies are just mouthpieces for our corporate overlords who buy all of the politicians in order to further enrich themselves at our expense. It’s literally robbing us on a national scale. The less facts people understand, the easier it is for them to pull the wool over our eyes and gaslight us into thinking this is a normal, acceptable situation. Clearly this is not sustainable.
We do need some kind of regulations for news to actually be considered news, and to serve as a mechanism to make them deliver factual, useful information to viewers. Not entirely sure what that would look like tbh.
