I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

Or Awomen in this case!
This NEVER serves the Truth
Journalists or not !
Her job is to post #israel propaganda
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But she is definitely a propagandist and a schill for the empire
They need a better strategy. Come back next time with followup questions for a start

And the reality is, our so-called "media" is propagandists. They are stenographers of what the liars say. Not fact checkers. Not reporters. Not even damn Americans.
They are empty sacs of fluid, waiting for their paycheck and writing whatever sounds eek out of the traitor's mouths.
But the fact that journalists still DO interview them and try to sift through their gish galloping nonsense trying to separate truth from lies is literally the only reason propaganda works as well as it does.
When journalism is working at its job, it is a force for truth, justice & enlightenment.
Unfortunately, corporate OWNED media overwhelmingly has a disturbingly corporatist (fascist) agenda (Follow its owners' money).

Versus email or other contact from the person or their reps pitching an interview?
And then how thorough are the ground rules?
“DEFINE WOKE (or any other code word du jour) FOR THE VIEWERS/LISTENERS.”
(sorry, got carried away)
Yes, the fear seeps into the brain waves. I stopped watching back in 1996, I didn't watch much but I saw CNN turn video of people running scared soon after bomb at the Atlanta Olympics into music-video style repeats. It was gross.
I prefer to read my news and then cross check and check media bias.
Counter their lies yes, but that is the sole engagement anybody should have with such creatures.
*a century
In fact being paid to advocate is a crucial bona-fides. Literally, someone who isn't paid is worthless to journalists and most of those who read them.
As a journalist you have to be critical. Question the words and ideas that are used. 🤔😎
A) It's a badge of honor, and means you're not afraid to challenge the administration.
B) Karoline Leavitt just lies and spreads propaganda all day. Going to her press conferences is like bobbing for apples in the sewer.
There is no public discourse anymore. Just fans and fanatics.
At this point, I would welcome any challenge at all.
The journalistic integrity of The Fourth Estate has vanished...
like a chalk-mark in a rainstorm.

"Six - SIX! - of the “lifelong Democrats” and “former Obama voters” in her book are actually elected Republicans"
Bluesky really needs an EDIT button 😬
So why do so many of these "journalists" instead report and ask abt feelings, opinions, predictions, and polls?
forgetfulness 🫤
"As I was saying to the president on board Air Force One the other day . . ."
Stop watching or reading by Propagandists.
It drives me nuts, I can’t imagine what it’s like for actual proper journalists.

No amount of disclaimers at the end or explanations at the end will do the job. Best to pre-record and edit in the corrections which allows you to check everything and put the correct information before as well as after the lie.
News should be vetted/ fact checked & anything that is not should not be labeled/ considered news.
One of the main reasons we have this epic shitshow is that the majority of the papers and much of the tv media is owned by Trump supporters.
The country is fed a steady stream of bullshit.

But how does those wise words measure up vs NYTs coverage of Palestine and the apartheid state?
Hypocrisy...
@arimelber.bsky.social
My voice with 200 followers is not loud enough, and even then I get push back!🤪
Because that ain’t journalism.
