    Yeah, a lot of it is outrage bait. That is basically how Trump got elected, outrage -> coverage, coverage->legitimacy.

      It is fairly significant, he’s an aggressor in a war currently affecting everything from NATO to inflation. And he has denied access to Western interviewers up until now (in recent times).

            Do you not understand the backlash Tucker Carlson is getting for doing this interview? Are you not aware of his history pushing pro-putin talking points? Tucker Carlsons content literally gets reposted on Russian state medias youtube.

      Because our “free press” is just the “ad fee press” now. Their ONLY concern is how much they can profit off of news coverage. Outrage = clicks/views = ad revenue.

        That’s what happens when people don’t want to pay for anything, including journalism.

        What are the first 15 comments everytime someone posts a NYT article? “oh, no, paywall, fuck the NYT, greedy Bastards what money for their work”.

        You end up with tabloids, clickbait and ad infested shit pages.

          No, it is just a plain defect of capitalistic monetization schemes not aligning with what is good for society. Also, for-profit news stink of corruption and bourgeoisie propaganda with added deficiency of boring clickbait tabloid shitreads more adequate as toilet paper.

              We are talking about financing. You calling it “state run” only serves to reveal your own bias. It is very much possible to have non profit independent news as well as public funded news outside of politicians control. We have this in Norway, which is really fucking important because one fucking company has bought all for profit news agencies.

              Speaking of glory to the supreme leader, the company in question is also privately held like some sort of Succession fantasy.

                Yes, Norway, the richest country of the world per capita, a very relatable and reproducible system.

                  Let us not pretend it is that much of an expense to have national public broadcast services. There is also PBS in the US, SVT in Sweden, BBC in the UK and so on. Just admit your point was pointless and the cherry picking was done on your side and move on.

                    Yes, I (who didn’t provide examples) was cherry picking. Do you even know what that expression means?
