Australia government and Big Media companies (notably the Murdoch empire) discover that extortion doesn't always work. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/mar/01/facebook-news-tab-shut-down-end-australia-journalism-funding-deals

I can't understand why pays for news? I thought they LIKE to have their users post what they see as news, no need to pay for reported reputable

😈Especially when doesn't care about its FB members in the first place. It's all about the ADs and the news can write itself, literally 🤡

Do you have an elderly parent or grandparent or uncle or aunt or anyone in your family who really should stop relying on Fox News?

Change their DNS to use Next DNS and block Fox News.

(I suggest adding it to their router, as I do)

Originally, I was trying to avoid the news concerning the state of Hawaii. -- It is painful to watch.

Ironically, most of the mainstream media seems to be avoiding the news too, since you'll hear a small "bleep" about the forest fires, and then it is onto something else.

Their world is burning, and the mainstream is focused on the latest political scandal concerning Trump or some celebrity drama.

But the state of Hawaii burning to the ground, America news outless, make it seem so trivial. 🙄

Linux_Is_Best,

When I often say, we do not have real news in America, people have asked for an example. -This is one

The BBC News is focusing on the lives impacted and reporting about the latest news and information as it happens, factually, without trying to put a spin, and it is not just a brief sound bite during a slow news cycle

The BBC News is located in The United Kingdom (UK) on the other side of the world, yet they're more in tuned with what is happening here than local news

Linux_Is_Best,

Furthermore, and this is the important part...

The BCC is not providing you with any opinions. Just the facts.

The closest they come to offering an "opinion" is when they ask someone how they feel about their home burning down, and that person, who is living it, speaks. -- They do not have some celebrity-type news anchor interviewing another celebrity-type news anchor, sharing their personal views on the matter.

You're not being fed fluff when viewing the BBC News.

An honest and credible news outlet is the cornerstone of an informed society.

It empowers individuals with reliable information, cultivates critical thinking, and strengthens democracy.

Let's value and support trustworthy journalism, for truth is the catalyst of positive change.

Linux_Is_Best,

BBC News exemplifies the significance of an honest and credible news outlet. With its commitment to reliable information, it empowers individuals, fosters critical thinking, and upholds democracy.

Let's appreciate and endorse the BBC's dedication to truth, a catalyst for positive change.

If there was honesty in media, we would refer to NBC as Comcast News, the Washington Post as the Jeff Bezos Post, etc. Even outlets like NPR that brag about being listener funded rake in donations from the Koch brothers.

1/3

Linux_Is_Best,

3/3

A media outlet like NPR may have a sympathetic interview with union workers that are not in the middle of a labor conflict and a respectful conversation with a progressive after an election takes place.

But when you really need the news to be unbiased and to present all facts of the matter, they will largely paint labor and progressive politicians as not serious, undiplomatic, and radical.
