Gregory's Server@aral as far as ive been able to tell, mass media is most responsible for a failing democracy by disseminating low-fact information, scare mongering and countless subtle & unsubtle right wing bias. Vaguely 'saving democracy' isn't possible, its saved specifically by taming a fascist media owned by psychopathic oligarchs.

@celeduc @media_dept @aral We've found a silver bullet to oligarchic press dominance in México, perhaps not replicable... AMLO, the president has been giving a long early morning press conference, la mañanera, 5 days a week for 5 years and counting. It has effectively counterbalanced oligarchic right wing media narratives. Instrumental in deflecting coups that have been plaguing lefty leaning gouvernements in LatAm ,and in helping his govt to continue into next term with a wide margin. @aral @media_dept The word “oligarch” needs to come into the daily American vocabulary, and quickly. There is no better description of the members of the right-wing multi-billionaire cabal steering the world into authoritarian tyranny. I suspect that one or more of them are already trillionaires. |
@media_dept @aral so weird how repealing all of the media ownership concentration laws resulted in all of the media being controlled by a few megacorporations and a tiny number of incredibly wealthy people.
