Relevant here, especially:
Thanks for this Mindy. I’m one of those UK folks who did Media Studies at college in the 90s, and this is right up my alley!
I’ve got a lot of time for Maitlis, but at the same time, when the Luigi story broke, her and her colleagues at “The News Agents” toed the line and expressed disgust at the murder of a husband and father.
I stopped watching them after that.
She either has one or two more coming on this! It’s great stuff, isn’t it!
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.)
Also, I almost clicked on her outfit’s white chevron to see the next picture.
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?
