Gregory's Servermy other idea that I have _zero_ chance of actually making happen is that Crooked Media or someone like them needs to poach Matt Levine from Bloomberg and stand up a full-fledged competitor to CNBC where they cover economic and market issues from a progressive standpoint. If everyone gets all their financial and economic news from conservatives of course the population is going to keep trusting conservatives on the economy

@glyph i dunno man i think a lot of rich people are about to throw a lot of money at various ideas about media ecosystems and that one actually sounds pretty reasonable w/a high chance of success at a pretty low cost  @cryptadamist if there's a chance you could get this in front of them, I _am_ dead serious about it. during a week of fretting about how nobody hears their economic message, BTC and Crooked and the Bulwark all wondering why nobody hears from dems about economics, and well, look at their respective "shows" pages; dozens and dozens of shows, 1/3 social or cultural issues, 1/3 international affairs, 1/3 political analysis. 0% economics. @glyph i spend a decent amount of time trying to educate the bulwark crew about issues like the chairman of the trump transition team running the central bank of international criminal finance facilitating all the pig butchering scams and most of the sanctions evasion in the world. in fact reading yr post my first thought was to forward yr idea to the bulwark. https://cryptadamus.substack.com/p/trumps-transition-team-is-tethered @glyph I was pondering earlier today a news service that not so much "targeted" but more "accommodated" the younger adults, meaning they'd spend more time explaining the details of current political topics... for instance "what a tariff is, how it works, the history of its use. After all, the purpose of a free press is to inform and educate the populace. |
so there you go, one good idea and one bad idea
