It’s proper theory stuff, and made me realise that even without knowing who Stuart Hall was before reading that, and never seeing his formula written down previously, I’ve been practising it since doing my course way back when.
While I look on most use of AI with skepticism if not outright disdain, using Grok to critique the Husk administration seems fitting.
Milbank’s column somehow passed muster and ran—even though that required the highly unusual step of it being submitted to the publisher for review. Eugene Robinson followed, with a subtle column on the new documentary about Katharine Graham; the column made no reference to Bezos, but its paeans to Graham’s courage in the face of Richard Nixon’s threats evoked an implicit comparison with the current owner and his relationship with Trump. Our media critic, Erik Wemple, was less fortunate. His straightforward column disagreeing with the Bezos announcement—I read it in our internal system, and found it perfectly reasonable—never ran.
Why does that remind me of what I wrote here?
(Oh, I see, the good ol Washington Times. Now it makes sense that that headline don’t make no sense.)
Compromised, complicit, craven…
What pisses me off is when outlets wait and do one-off reports as if these events are isolated/unrelated, or they have unclear references about the scale or duration of the protests:
Sure, the local news covered it - where’s the rest?
Useful quality journalism.
Wasn’t sure where to post this… maybe here is good enough.
The comments here reflect that people are noticing the protests aren’t getting a lot of media coverage:
Not until now! I keep asking who is behind the current popularity/approval polling, and how they could miss these vibes.
