Sure you can. X is doing it. Twitter did it. What's stopping them? Is this the first company to fall short of their advertised claims? Does Coca Cola live up to their "Coke adds life" claim? It's just bluster, for heaven's sake. Does anyone take "Fair and Balanced" seriously?kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 12:33 pm I see both sides.

Come on....it wasn't like that when you were working in media? They didn't make editorial choices as to what to run, and how often? You know better than this.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 12:33 pm I worked in a left leaning, major mainstream media outlet for 5-6 years. My current opinion is that there are ZERO 100% trustworthy news outlets right now. Almost every piece or author has a strong agenda. You have to be smart about how you get your "news" these days and be your own reporter. Research non-reported data, understand who prepared those reports, and only believe the news when it is live pictures when it's happening.
Your perception of where you worked is just that: your perception as to where it leans. There's no such thing as a left leaning major media outlet. They all want to maintain power, and not rock the boat. Neither to their editors and workers....they want to keep their good jobs and advance.
If US media was left leaning? They'd be running nonstop stories about single payer health care, free Uni, and everything else every other 1st world nation gets, and that's just for starters. They control the narrative to ACTUALLY move our country left. They don't do that....not even close. The newspapers are there to reinforce the status quo, so the 1%ers keep their fat tax breaks and ownership perqs.
This is plainly and factually wrong. You have no clue how it runs, or what they are cutting or censoring. You are ASSUMING.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 12:33 pm So for those things, X is awesome. Its real easy to see things live-time AND know exactly what the camera man/reporter's agenda is. Jack's Twitter was crap. Elon's might not be to your liking, but IMO, its a lot more transparent and open than the previous version.
And you were just given a cite telling you that he deleted journalists who hit him. Maybe the claim is false, but you should at the very least pay attention to this if you claim to want a censor-free platform. It's pretty obvious that it ain't, and this should make you angry if you seriously believe the content should be Musk-free, for want of a better term.
And where did I say Elon's was not to my liking? I said directly that I support how he runs it 100%. I'm not a freaking commie----he owns it, and can run it in any way he sees fit. I'm good with however he wants to run it, just as I'm good with how Fox or NBC runs their networks----it's their network, not mine!
