There’s nothing wrong with the photo, folks. The world was really that general hue in the 70s.

And as depressing as that was, kids, it was still much better than before the 1950’s when the world finally went color..

Thank you for this work! 🙏 I stopped relying on corp media years ago. I enjoy Meidas Touch network. I find them to be transparent and factual. Truth is our sword! 💙🇺🇸🤍✊🏼

Keep doing what you’re doing Allison.

Thank you.
My mother worked in radio and PR her entire life. She was a spitfire advocate for free press and the threat of monopolizing.
She warned our family and anyone who would listen.
If she were alive today, she would be livid.

Why not self publish?

I remember when Charlie Gibson left ABC News and said journalism had changed and what it was becoming was something he didn’t want to be involved in.

winstonsmithsghost.bsky.social•36 days ago

I wish I read it. Would have saved me emotional pain by having a heads up.

I always assumed there would be publications, NYTimes for example, to be a stalwart of journalism and a caretaker of the Fourth Estate.

Not so. Even they have fallen.

Cancelled my 20+ year subscription after the election.

food4thought.bsky.social•36 days ago

Me too, Winston. It's Reuters, C-Span, BBC World News And the AP.... That's my news source.

winstonsmithsghost.bsky.social•36 days ago

I was hopeful that I could count on The @economist.com to remain amongst your group of dependable journalists but came across this subheading yesterday, which gives credit for the Israel/Hamas ceasefire to … (checks notes) … Trump’s X Factor.

Ugh.

NPR reports are usually good.

food4thought.bsky.social•36 days ago

Yes Pam! Thanks for mentioning that. I forgot NPR 🥴🫢 I support/donate to them every year!

romansmith.bsky.social•36 days ago

Thx for sharing, Allison!

And like you, am not particularly a fan of Ken Dilanian (but really like Anna Bower.) Was unaware of the courtroom stay you described, glad to have those details

Looking forward to the next chapter! 👍

News is only valuble when someone profits. 🙄

marcsaf.bsky.social•36 days ago

Alison, you are brilliant!

demental.bsky.social•36 days ago

Wow! Thank you! I really want to read some of this.

Losing faith in the media was so similar to losing faith in the justice system. It honestly never occurred to me this institution could fail me - my trust in the press was so high

mnlisa.bsky.social•36 days ago

Thank you!
Will read

roseinthewoods.bsky.social•36 days ago

Thank you for writing this!

marthabarnette.bsky.social•36 days ago

Wonderful in so many ways, and inspiring for others to pump up the volume themselves. Brava!

The independent book reviewing community would promote the fuck out of your book.

Map to the Future National Emergency USA this is a FEMA map. TFG will declare a national emergency placing all Americans under select Governors. Was Hunger Games was inspired by this ??

So it's Gonzo journalism to tap into Hunter S. Thompson

beethovenssidekick.bsky.social•36 days ago

I will read it, AG👍👍👍👍👍💙🇺🇸

ahuman1st.bsky.social•36 days ago

The 4th estate as we knew it… is gone!

Reliance on independent journalists is critical

bloomlove.bsky.social•36 days ago

This is so good. I hope you write another book someday. Thanks for sharing it with us.

katzenjammer1.bsky.social•36 days ago

Thank you.

thecapitol.bsky.social•35 days ago

Many of us have seen the media failure, so painful. And so painful you didn’t get to publish. I will plan to read what you post.

stillraptor.bsky.social•36 days ago

👏👏👏👍

iowahostage.bsky.social•36 days ago

Excellent article and it described a shift in journalism that I find reassuring

maggiecnighs.bsky.social•35 days ago

Looking forward to reading it.

hengleka.bsky.social•36 days ago

Looking forward to reading it, thank you!

Bezos wants a tax break? Then why not just donate the WAPO to a non-profit? He writes it off and then WAPO could be structured much like The Guardian is.

food4thought.bsky.social•36 days ago

With so many viewers leaving cable/corporate media, maybe their endorsement or promotion isn't much of an issue now. I'd say try again Allison. It's wonderfully written and relevant.
