In short, we need to promote media literacy, an approach that is admittedly more challenging every day. Witness the misinformation surrounding protests in LA, which I just wrote about:
“What is the truth behind the situation? Since we now live in ‘post-truth’ times, the answer is unclear. And that’s the problem with the social-media age: People can create whatever ‘truth’ they desire.”
Thanks for this information. I often would like to reach out to someone, be it the FCC or print media but don’t really know how or where to turn. Is the FCC still run by a sane person or is it a ring/ass kisser? If it’s the latter, my complaint probably wouldn’t go anywhere but the circular file. ⚔️
I’ve often felt my complaints go into a circular file but remember, it’s volume. Here is the FCC leadership. I leave it to you to decide if they’re ass kissers. https://www.fcc.gov/about/leadership
As far as what is going on internationally, I find the amount of mass media misinformation and the ability to initiate change at this point more limited then you suggest. Especially for the average public consumer.
As a member of the media, I understand how difficult it is to get attention — especially now, with staffs small enough to fit into a thimble. But people need to try. If getting through to the media seems too big a hill to climb, find another hill.
In this age of MAGA led "un-truth" we see Terry Moran fired rather than being applauded for speaking out. We see many reporters who were salivating over Biden's aging issues largely silent over 47. Did you see any of his act in Canada? Meanwhile wars are raging in Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, and now Iran. If you know who is in charge please give me a clue?!?
There was a time when the U.S. President was looked up to by our allies, now the U.S. President is viewed with scorn and disbelief. I remember the video from his first term where he shoved another leader to get his puss out front! The shit show started when he came down that escalator and our country and the world are paying the price now!
I was / still am appalled at his disgusting bullying ‘me first’ behavior wherever he is representing the USA at any event. My jaw dropped when he sauntered in front of Queen Elizabeth II !!
Militarizing our National Guard and Marines to help his ICE goons is worse as it is deadly not just embarrassing.
Why aren’t we writing treasonous AND treacherous? Isn’t that what it truly is?
What prompted me.to write is a combination of being on vacation this week in Westbrook, and having the time to watch cable news ( if you want to call.it news) and the biased reporting and limited facts on all Channels from FOX to MSNBC even the infomercial show of newly assigned ambassador to Isreal former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, admitted Zionist. FYI glad I do not subscribe to cable TV when at home. This "news" is also at ever Planet Fitness in the country.
Here is a list of some journalist/investigative reporters/institutional experts I have followed, like I do you. None. Are ever asked, like you, to be heard or quoted on any main stream media, OR Cable TV show that I know of.
a simple search of the people below will improve awareness of where a $1 trillion military budget of out taxes goes.

Thank you for this link. And thank you for teaching this.

Thanks. According to their bios, they sound sane enough. We’ll see when challenged.
“Sane enough” is “Rhodes Scholar” in Trump Land.

I appreciate that but it’s not a rock wall. Every system involves people.
Agreed.we are after the same result. But I belive you are underestimating the hill these people will need to climb.

I did see him stumble and fumble is Canada. And now he will try to WMD us into war. What a shit show.

Over and over again, we are paying the price. So let’s work to get him out.

I don't think we can squeeze in all the adjectives, but yes. That is what he is.
The most apt word I know to describe him is 'cockwomble' using that repeatedly will irk the cultists!
Thank you for that wonderful word. I am adding it to my vocabulary and list of diapered first felon adjectives.
Thank you so much.
This is beyond helpful and beyond fabulous.
Thank you. If we are all playing to our strengths, I can help with the media.
