So Reform UK, Farage-a-go-go, might have been running fake people? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jul/08/reform-uk-under-pressure-to-prove-all-its-candidates-were-real-people
OK caught Dungeon Flippers, a nice, wholesome fantasy comedy about fantasy real estate for monster. Great voice acting, good animation, funny. I hope it goes to series. https://www.youtube.com/@dungeonflippers2970
We need to be harder on corporations who have security breaches. One barrier is we still, often unconsciously, think of them as people. https://www.stevensavage.com/blog/2024/07/the-scale-of-victims.html
Similar thoughts here. Doesn't it seem preferable to - hopefully - get this handwringing hysteria/angst over with sooner rather than later?
Analyzing the Murdoch Media call for Biden to resign, a few things seem apparent to me.
* It's like an early October Surprise. Possibly sprung early.
* It feels desperate, comically manic.
There's fear of a Biden victory, so I'd guess some/all are true:
* Trump is worse than we thought.
* There's going to be more shit coming out about Trump
* The "real" polls show Roe is a GOP-killer.
* Lo0cal elections trending more blu.
* A Biden-boosting "game change" may come up internationally.
It appears that #ABCNews just released the entire interview on their YouTube channel. Give this link a try.
@StevenSavage There is a bigger-picture piece to this. Across the board, people need to recognise how they're being manipulated by shock-jock sensationalism.
The "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality runs everything from literal ambulance chasers to how politics are covered.
As long as the news is entertainment, the public cannot be served well by its news outlets.
A boycott would have some impact, but market forces will continue to operate until the market realises its addiction(s).
@StevenSavage Reinstate the Fairness Act. Break up the MSM monopolies.
refuse to give them media access citing their clear bias
@StevenSavage boycotts to start. news outlets run on ad revenue. stop buying, sales drop, which means eyes on ads drop, which means advertisers won't pay as much for ad space. it's a solid hit to the wallet in media with thin margins
So a thought here. Let's imagine the best - a Blue Wave throughout. Dems keep or expand the senate, take back the house, win the presidency, have multiple surprises in many states.
So how would we then go hold the media to account for their support of Trump? Protests? Boycotts? Asking our electeds to call them out? What's a good way to start pushing back?
