If you are teaching about #propaganda in 2023, you should not be using #Chomsky as the authority on propaganda or #disinformation. Plenty still are. This is unwise, not only because he’s been wrong about important world events. His model (led by Ed Herman actually) also just misunderstands what propaganda is, focusing on structural and political economy issues in #journalism in a way that conflates the majority journalism with propaganda (which is a deliberate activity). 1/

Please think of Teddy tonight. He’s 18 and not a well boy. He put up a hell of a fight but might not make it through the night. #cats #catsofmastodon

#Elon can’t make his mind up. #npr now no longer ‘state affiliated’ media… now ‘government funded.’ This all makes no sense at all. Also @VOANews is suddenly labelled government funded too… and yet is a public diplomacy outlet - so it operates in a very different way to @npr Here #twitter and #ElonMusk revealing they have no idea how these broadcasters are governed and what they do. #media #publicdiplomacy 🧵

Here’s the #TrumpMugShot! He looks like he’s been up all night spraying polish on his hairpiece and practicing his pout.

It amazes me some Australians can argue in one breath that Australia should not be shackled to British power or let colonial relations shape foreign policy. Yet in the next breath say that #Ukraine should make a commitment not to align itself with #NATO because once it was part of the Soviet Union.

This is quite the headline in The Times using a detail they later state to be 'rumour' to make a definite claim in the headline in order to help Palantir's reputation washing attention grab. It is at best an exaggeration of the firms role. Poor reporting or PR? #palantir #thetimes #tech #bigtech #ukraine #israel #intelligence #propaganda @potemkinvillage
