How sadly predictable.
And the enshitification of our country continues.
The Fourth Estate is dead
It’s alive and thriving, like a colony of magots in the heart of a corpse
It’s certainly captured, but I wouldn’t count it out just yet.The old media is absolutely 100% a write-off. But, unless the authoritarians work together to fully censor the internet. It’s easier for them to reach readers now on their own than it’s ever been before.
Breaking many from the generational tradition that is turning on the local evening news. It’s definitely going to be hard. But now more than ever, people have a chance to really bank on their name and reputation as the establishment throws theirs away.
We need to start laying our own cables. The underlying technology is sound but they can in worst case just cut the wires, unless we make that impossible. As long as bits can flow from person to person all the rest is software
I’m looking at eventually trying to set up a local mesh Halow network. With some remote nodes being solar powered if possible. For a nice few kilometer wide basic anarchist network. That may or may not have access to the internet. But would at least provide some basic communication services to those local.
We’ll just have to start sending packets via carrier pigeon.
Kind of a joke obviously, but I’m pretty sure it has actually been done before.
IP over Avian Carriers, good ol’ RFC1149!
unless the authoritarians work together to fully censor the internet
I’m sure Barron Trump will fight to keep expression free in his new role at TikTok.
The fifth column has been activated.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_column
And we’ve nearly arrived at the ultimate goals of the 7 mountains mandate.
Religion needs to be abolished, it is one of the greatest dangers on this planet and has been for thousands of years.
Never heard of the fifth column before.
Fuck that’s exactly what’s happening.
No news is bad news.
They didn’t have to comply in advance, at least it shows us they have no backbone.
Bootlicking cowards
I already disliked NBC when they bought the platform Breaking News and shut it down in 2016. That platform literally helped expose me to headlines I would never have seen otherwise.
Liberalism strikes again, always performative in their actions and ready to abandon their principles in a second.
Start reading leftist news sources instead of this mainstream crap.
In America corporations are people.
All for profit corporations have one simple goal which is to increase their parofits.
The governments that will allow them to do that are when Republicans are in charge.
I don’t know how you pin this on liberalism.
Because a leftist organisation would hold some conviction.
Liberalism doesn’t care about society and will happily abandon anything ‘progressive’ at the drop of a hat, and like wise will slap a pink/rainbow coat of paint on top when it suits them.
Define liberalism & what that has to do with NBC. I don’t think you can.
I think you’re confusing American liberalism for what liberalism is in the rest of the world. OP is Australian.
Liberalism a set of beliefs around very basic personal liberty and a strong focus on property rights, promoting “free markets” and laissez-faire policies directly resulting in capitalist systems that favour profit over integrity.
Liberalism in the old school sense of valuing economic liberty, which to an extreme extent valuing private property and money. And here we see NBC caving in to compromising progressive social values to money.
Ok just start a podcast
Im sorry. But what? NBC out? And NBC blk???
What even are those things??? They clearly weren’t a priority. Im fucking plugged the fuck in and what even are those things?
Like sure, this isn’t great. But also no one in this thread even knew this shit existed until this very thread.
Same here. Never heard of this shit in my life.
I think these were more internal affinity groups than anything. Not something you would have heard of unless you actually worked for NBC News.
I was thinking that too before I commented so you are probably right.
