Under 'Free Market' Capitalism you will never have a free press, if they are small they will drown them out, if they are large they will buy them out. You will always have the airwaves and the papers flooded with the lies of the ultra rich. - ThreadSky

And again, this is why we need to keep building, in every country, an IndyPress, free from big money.

Every voice carries biasness.

It amazes me to watch a media personality go from a progressive channel to a conservative channel or visa versa and watch how they change. My epiphany was when I realized they are all actors or actresses just doing their job. Spreading Propaganda.

Same as it ever was

destinyjones.bsky.social•166 days ago

Not sure that's true.
I can remember the days before neoliberal governments enabled the likes of Rupert Murdoch & Conrad Black to buy the press...

thatgenxwidower.bsky.social•166 days ago

Um, William Randolph Hearst.

Yes, but he lived in a capitalist era; whereas I was thinking of the neoliberal capitalist era that was introduced by Reagan & Thatcher.
I know Hurst got the growing of hemp banned, so he could profit from making the paper for his own press from his own forests.

In my day (cold war 1) we had CB Radio in case of Russkie invasion

How do we fix this?

Mixed-market economy. A bit capitalist and a bit socialist. Like Canada 💁🏻‍♀️

jbwolves.bsky.social•166 days ago

We kind of have that here?

That's why they target the public squares on the internet. If they can't control the conversation, they'll destroy the means of HAVING the conversation. Hence elmo buying and destroying the other place.

Theoretical free market capitalism doesn't exist. It always tends towards oligarchy with a few big players controlling everything.

Its the regulation thats the problem.
Same same water and energy.

Pirate radio comeback.

highaltweather.bsky.social•165 days ago

Under which system would we have a truly free press (or is a free press even possible)?

True but bloody depressing 🥺

The truth is...

Jews are obsessed with control of ALL media. They are already plotting to shut down Bluesky if they cannot buy it from a Chinese woman. TikTok was banned in America because Jews don't own and control it and the company won't sell.

Jews want control what we are allowed think and say

alexpacehickey.bsky.social•166 days ago

Capitalist propaganda machines. Just like those Soviet posters we all laugh at today.

monk75.bsky.social•166 days ago

Social media is more or less owned by the rich to control the masses.. A bit like a farmer has a dog to herd the sheep.. which is exactly what we have become SHEEP 🐑
