American public media spends tens of millions annually licensing BBC content—including news programming from an organization The Telegraph has exposed for editing footage of President Donald Trump to remove calls for peace on January 6, 2021, amplifying Hamas propaganda, and censoring journalists who challenge transgender orthodoxy.
Hi Chris... I agree with a number of your points but suggest balancing criticism by calling out the disingenuous behaviors on both sides of the spectrum. "pretending manipulation is maintenance, propaganda is process, and censorship is standards" and "operat(ing) as ideological enforcement mechanisms, killing stories that challenge their narratives". Bias is rife and I see this calling out an organization that is generally recognized as unbiased - https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-chart Is your goal to throw shade on your opponents or are you seeking awareness? In my estimation you are part of the problem if you don't call out both sides for the mess we are dealing with and you are seeking scapegoats instead of consensus.
I have just read this article and haven’t spent the time yet to investigate either the links or their sources included here or the veracity of The Center Square.
This does strike me on the surface as a possible hit piece from a right wing propaganda site, but I don’t mean any disrespect. This may just be my left-leaning antenna being sensitive.
All journalists should be held accountable for what they put into the public space, just as all politicians should be held to account as well.
When I look into bias sites for The Center Square I notice they do not publish their own source of funding. They are listed as Right-Center and tending to use loaded words in describing "facts". So some discounting of the content should be considered when articles like this are published, The pot might be a bit shaded when they call the kettle black.
