, & most of MSM , have helped poison the brains of voters. The outlets have bashed Pres Biden, eclipsing what they did to HRC, while giving & Republicans undue credit:

"That’s right: A flat majority says that economic conditions in our country are “poor.” Even though they simultaneously say that their own lives are going pretty well."

@Rana. thank you for these kind words and I am very sorry we have this in common. My father died of early-onset Alzheimer's many years ago. Recovering from those horrors is the work of a lifetime. Take care of yourself and feel free to reach out. Sometimes sharing with a stranger is easier. . .

If crime is falling but our perceptions are that its just as bad, if not worse... what's behind this misperception.

Unsurprisingly, the news media is skewing our perceptions; as crime gets (relatively) rarer, so of course, it becomes more note-worthy, and we see more stories about criminal activity (and the relentless crime-based dramas cannot be helping).

The key problem is policy seems to be driven by voters' perceptions not what's actually happening?

@JoshuaHolland Trump can quote Hitler and it hardly makes the news. Harris accidentally talks like a normal person and it makes the news.

C8 dans le rouge à cause de TPMP: la chaîne de Bolloré a enregistré l’an dernier le chiffre d’affaires le plus bas depuis son changement de nom en 2016, à 84,2 millions d’euros, en baisse de 2,5 % sur un an, selon les comptes sociaux obtenus par l’Informé. Dans le même temps, les pertes nettes se sont creusées de 29 %.

The Biden admin needs better PR, ASAP:

"Majorities know little or nothing about the Biden admin's INFRA bill, CHIPS act, ARP & IRA. While 40% of respondents said Biden has done more than Trump on INFRA, 37% said Trump had done more.

It's largely a media problem, large chunk is Fox News & Sinclair, their local affiliate, RW radio... If Biden did anything good, they won't hear it, but they'll hear lies, or gross distortions of the truth-."

PR for Biden:

Heather McGhee has advice given recent bad polling for Biden: pro-democracy leaders need to be storytellers:

"We’re in the attention economy -must get ppl's attention, capture their imaginations & pull their focus -get their loyalty. It's a personality. Leaders need to understand how to be a framework for ppl to filter the world thru & a cultural home where ppl feel safe & protected. Trump, Modi...: more effective than anybody else -kind of lionization."

Step one: Make news web sites the least performant across the entire internet
Step two: Try and charge for subscription access
Step three: Campaign aginst tools that make the sites minimally more usable

I am sorry I can not gift this hot mess of a corporate-media drama article (there is no such option) but I think it will become available to all readers at some point.) It reads like real-life Succession minus the national politics. No wonder what is happening across the industry is so effed up. Don't give them your money.

Site called lapost dot com advertising on social media. Site says it is Los Angeles Post. Cannot find any information about it or its history. “Local” tab is filled with international news, not Los Angeles local news. Most (all?) stories are from Reuters. Not sure what is up, but I’d be cautious about sites just spun up out of nowhere.

Harvard has rescinded the suspension of a student who had been reporting for the Crimson on the pro-Palestinian encampment, raising questions about how that particular student was identified in the first place. According to the Crimson, the student had not taken part in the protest and had only “infrequently” reported on the encampment. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2024/5/11/harvard-crimson-reporter-involuntary-leave-protest/

Is implying things would be different if he had "frequently" reported on the encampment?

dankennedy_nu,
@dankennedy_nu@journa.host avatar

@BrianPierce Read the story. That came from the Crimson, not from Harvard. I think they were just gobsmacked because that student journo was hardly even at the encampment, so how were they even ID’d?
