“Optimistically, then, a surge in the productivity of misinformation generators may provide a similar advantage to the journalistic equivalent of the blue-throated lizards—publications that jealously guard their reputation for truth-telling. “

Watching Landman (Taylor Sheridan's follow-up Yellowstone), I cannot help wonder, having dealt with two major US domestic sectors (ranching, now oil), which industrial sector which has played a major role in the formation of the US political character he will be look at next?

Hollywood? Automotive?

"There’s a certain tone the American media adopts when it has decided that the public is asking too much of it: the demeanor of a patient parent explaining that ice cream is not dinner, even though everybody wants it to be.

Last week, The Washington Post published a headline that captured this perfectly with a straight face: 'Why you may not want lower prices as much as you think you do.'”

"Something fundamental has shifted. The media, once the antagonist of those who rule, increasingly sounds like the parenthetical aside in a White House briefing. The institutions that spent years insisting they were the last line of defense against creeping authoritarianism now appear suspiciously eager to adjust to it."

These aren’t stories about food. They are stories about surrender to a president who has declared that affordability 'doesn’t mean anything to anybody' and a 'con job.'”

"Steve Bannon, basically right up to the time Epstein died, was working with him on a combo rebrand/crisis comms effort to rehabilitate Epstein’s reputation. Yes! Bannon was working as Epstein’s image rehab specialist. The man at the center of all the anti-'elite', anti-'globalist' pedophiles was tight with Epstein and trying to help him come in from the sex offender cold."

The Roosevelt Institute has released its report on the U.S. media crisis. Its key conclusion: "The crisis facing American journalism is the predictable outcome of decades of corporate libertarian media policy that prioritized commercial logics over democracy." Here's the full analysis.

The Political Economy of the US Media System: Excavating the Roots of the Present Crisis - Roosevelt Institute

Bilal Baydoun, Shahrzad Shams, and Victor Pickard trace the roots of the US media crisis to decades of deregulation and commercial capture, outlining how consolidation, news deserts, and platform dominance threaten democratic infrastructure and sow fertile ground for authoritarian capture of our information channels. Their analysis shows why a reinvisioned, democratic media system must be insulated from both commercial and state pressures.

#TBT Record World's #CollegeRadio airplay report from #OTD in 1971. IMHO #RecordWorld was one of the better music trade weeklies. It was often the first to seriously cover niche markets like #LatinMusic and they even had a " #NewWave Hit Parade" for a while. College radio got their own section way before anyone else was paying attention! 🎵 🎶 📻 👍 😁 #Music #Radio #Broadcasting #Media

Scan of a page in the December 4, 1971 issue Record World magazine, with the headline "College Radio Airplay Report". Content includes playlists from 15 radio stations, such as WMUC (University of Maryland), KTRU (Rice University) and WAYN (Wayne State University). Playlists are a mix of albums well-known artists like Kool and the Gang, Sly and the Family Stone and Ritchie Havens, alongside lesser know artists like Gayle McCormick, Cal Tjader and Drams.

"What’s kind of mystifying is how little Bannon or his Epstein image rehab doc project has gotten in the furor over the Epstein emails. ...

This is noteworthy first because Bannon is a major figure in national politics. But second because by 2019 Bannon was very much back in Trump’s good graces. There’s a very decent chance that Trump knew Bannon was working to rehabilitate Epstein at the time."

"Regardless, it remains a wild example of the double standards of the national media and how enveloped Epstein’s top critics were with his own corruption."

"He’d actually done hours of video interviews with Epstein as prep for either a 60 Minutes or 60 Minutes-style interview to revive his reputation. ...

It’s no huge surprise that Bannon is an utter sleazebag or someone with a high tolerance for sexual predators. I confess to being perversely wowed by the brazen shamelessness of the switcheroo. But that’s another story."
