Looking back at the actions of the MSN in the USA as the Vietnam war was dragging on bitterly - to inevitable failure - and the playing up of good stories, the positive and not the reality of the war, I see many similarities in the handling of Trump and his consorts by the press today.
An abject failure to report the truth in an unbiased and honest manner to those who need to know.
A pandering to bias, to misinformation, to abuse.
When all is said and done, the MSN will claim they did their best, and sweep the whole matter under a carpet for fifty years. But the damage, today, is being done, and cannot be undone.
"Last Saturday, I was at a community gathering of around 30 Vietnamese immigrants, all in their 50s and 60s, in Oakland, California, when I asked if anyone knew anything about AI or artificial intelligence.
None of them had ever heard of it...And in this room full of elders from my community, the Vietnamese community, no one knew about it, which meant no one knew to look for it."
For Assigned, I wrote about the right-wing misinformation that has surrounded the Cass Report, and how Hilary Cass herself has chosen to ignore all of this misinformation, instead focusing on mischaracterizing statements by her trans critics.
I had so many people tell me I DON'T have ADHD because of my hyperfocus.
I only realized I did (and did get properly tested as well) because of randomly coming across ADHD videos on youtube shorts (an awful platform, but there's always a silver lining, I suppose. ;)
Pro-meat and climate crisis misinformation rife on social media, says report
"Misinformation on social media doesn't happen in a vacuum,” said Haughton-Boakes. “It seeps into the real world. And it does have real-world implications for policy debates.”
One out of maybe 12 that I had to report … it does not reflect well on the #SEO industry and #Semrush. It does reflect very well on Medium, which took down misinformation posts very quickly.
#Journalism#Media#News#FakeNews#Disinformation#Misinformation: "In our interviews, the journalists kept referring to themselves as being kind of the middlemen between academics, politicians, and citizens. Journalists like to import their definitions from somewhere – they don’t come up with their own. That’s something scholars do. So, the journalists look “up” to a perceived higher epistemic authority – academia – for clarity and definitions. But academia is, to them, at the same time a bit disconnected from the real world and too technical. This is where the problem arises. Journalists look towards academia for definitions, but they keep rejecting key parts of the definitions because they argue that they must account for those that are “beneath” them – their readers. They argue that they must translate from the high authority of academics to the low authority of audiences. They also say they must account for how politicians “dilute” meaning. So, what do they do, they switch to a new term. Or they import a term but not its academic definition, and it gets messy.
The goal: to have a comprehensive data driven understanding how multi-generational trauma shapes implicit bias in institutions, groups, familes etc and how it intertwines DK in community leaders.
So that we can work together to address these issues together!
For the record, #Elon#Musk was watching incest #porn, and was going to #court for the #felony of having #sex with animals, not the other way around.
In fact, in a preliminary #hearing last week I heard #Space Karen Elon Musk say as he was charged with animal necrophilia “Gee your honor I didn’t know the cat was dead when I was #fucking it.”
Who would've guessed Elon would die by self-asphyxiation while jerking it waching bestiality porn? I mean, besides most of us? #Misinformation #ElonMusk
"Africa's top anti-fake news digital platform, FactCheckAfrica, has announced the launch of an AI-infused platform to assist journalists and ordinary citizens in verifying the accuracy of information."
Here is the natural consequence of #Semrush inspiring all that #misinformation: people attacking me on #Reddit. This is one reason I fought to get this crap off the web.
