@matiu_bidule @mediapart On dirait un portrait célèbre de Bach : la tête est tournée dans le mauvais sens, il faudrait faire une symétrie gauche-droite sur le buste ou sur le tête.

@CindyWeinstein Sorry to hear that you also have someone in your life with dementia
It's such an awful disease...

@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?

It’s 2024. We’ve been through a Trump presidency. This is not in any way newsworthy.

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

Et surprise, les journaleux sont combatifs envers Philippot.

Mais gardons raison: Consigny y a toujours son rond de serviette.

Ca me rappelle une chanson de Goldman: "Entre marron clair et marron foncé".

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."

The only thing stupider than polled boomers believing polls is unpolled Millennials also believing the polls.

"British newspaper groups have warned Apple that any move to impose a so-called "web eraser" tool to block advertisements would put the financial sustainability of journalism at risk, the Financial Times reported on Sunday." Counterpoint: block the ads. https://werd.io/view/6640fbf0ac0a7b80eb0d7a02

@ben

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

@dkiesow Seems like a winning strategy!
