    "The erosion of free speech has been radically accelerated by the Big Tech and social media companies. The level of censorship and viewpoint regulation has raised questions of a new type of state media where companies advance an ideological agenda with political allies."​

    "Protest or Riot: Who Decides? A Data Analysis of Media Bias"

    https://www.allsides.com/blog/protest-or-riot-who-decides-data-analysis-media-bias

    excerpt:

    Life, Liberty, and Hypocrisy for All
    The shocking events of Jan 6, 2021 make for fun media analysis. In one day, the conservatives media became sympathetic to rioters and antagonistic to Capitol Hill police. Coincidentally, the liberal media suddenly valued law enforcement, and was furious that protesters were raiding a federal building that wasn’t the Portland Courthouse.

    This swift narrative reversal was one of many in 2020/21. Whether it’s the efficacy of masks, the harm of mass gatherings, or the integrity of elections, we as a nation have continuously flip-flopped this year. Of course, while our two media wings can change their minds within weeks or days, they can never hold the same positions at the same time.

    Thankfully these media turnabouts are educational, finally putting to bed the idea of impartial news. We now know that all media is biased and that all outlets use a few classic tricks to advance their specific belief system. In this article I’ll use data collected from mediacloud.org to show how these tricks work¹.

    Fox and CNN and espn and The food network are the same
    They are there to make money
    They have their own audience and advertisers pay them

    CNN stands for cable news network
    It’s not funded by tax payer money
    Only extremely stupid people think these networks are there for the good of a country or people

    and dumber is people who don’t like Fox News but keep posting it non stop which only increases their metrics for views and ratings

    Max Kellerman worked for cnn

    Wasn't Lou Dobbs on CNN about 15 years ago, with that business/finance program? I used to watch him every now and then. And that Tucker Carlson, I remember he was on CNN too, paired with Steve Novak, going at each other from time to time. They were once more reasonable and sometimes funny. Ever since they went to FOX, it's been downhills.

    But who am I kidding? Nowadays, journalism is long dead. CNN is unwatchable too. Everyone in the media is Agenda first, tailored half-truth second, only to serve his/her agenda/belief.

    it's completely money driven. People get bored quickly, you can't have a story about some art history dropout saving puppies, nobody will watch that. It has to targeted to your audience and drive attention, just like the advertisers want.

    Have you notice how dumb the commercials are now? you have an emu selling insurance.

    they want an audience reaction and especially for the audience to tell people to watch or react to it, that's more viewers (NewFoxFan doesn't understand this) @Os Trigonum

    from what I can tell from my 500 following Twitter account, print and online media reporting is doing pretty well and a pretty good job. Especially the subscriber driven platforms.

    They got the money to pay these dudes? Skip left Stephen A cause Fox Sports gave him his own show a huge raise.
    Max could leave cause they aren't going to pay him as much as Stephen A.
    He was just a boxing analyst who got promoted to be a guy who just says the opposite of Stephen A.
