@drewharwell other news outlets are basically “access media” so they are used to getting slapped around and saying “thank you sir, please can I have another” to maintain access to news makers (corps, politicos actors) so they can shoddily just reprint press releases more than do actual journalism which costs money

@drewharwell With 52 channels, it's time to open their own instance in the #Fediverse! Imagine the independence and security if #media would open their own #instances (some do it already).

I look forward to seeing #NPR on Mastodon.
