Ok, SUPER-interesting article on independent journalism, with a LOT of links to (presumably) good independent journalists that I will probably wind up adding to my feed reader (and which be worthwhile recipients of Signal and/or email messages at some point in the future).

You won't see this interview on mainstream news media.
Reporter - "#Maccabi #hooligans threw bottles at the pro-#Palestinians. Did the police intervene?"
Man 1- "No. #Police told us to go away. Told us you shouldn't be here."
Reporter - "So police blamed you instead?"
Man 2 - "Yes."
From Alabama to Wisconsin, Black community leaders are bracing themselves for more waves of hate, harassment, and threats.
“We know how to see a Confederate flag coming and take cover, but for an open-minded, educated, well-intentioned white person … who think they are woke and know how to speak for us, that’s actually more threatening to me than some Trump idiots because the Trump idiots may ride down the street, but they’re not really controlling policy. There are folks who don’t know Black people, and they’re making policies concerning us, which could be just as dangerous as what Trump does.”

What are your thoughts on supporting local news organizations?
I know a lot of local stations, papers, etc. have been consolidated, but I'm looking to change a subscription I have to something independent, whether local or national
to give you an idea on my "lean", I've previously supported #NPR (specifically, my local station #WOSU) and #ProPublica
What are your thoughts?
"Independent journalism for independent thinking", says The Economist. Meanwhile in the real world:
"three tobacco companies, which own some of the world’s most popular cigarette brands including Marlboro, Benson & Hedges, Dunhill & Pall Mall, have multimillion-dollar contracts with Economist Impact, extending to editorial coverage, which commonly has a pro-tobacco angle, & event sponsorship."

For years, it appeared that #Democrats had retreated into what seemed like a permanent defensive position.
But now with their campaign, Vice President #KamalaHarris and Governor #TimWalz are rejecting the limited framework of what has heretofore been possible and showing there is absolutely another way, and that's to go on the offensive.

Dame Magazine - · Democrats Are Finally on the Offensive Line - Dame MagazineIt has been more than a half century since the Democratic Party believed that we could do impossible things. After being chastened by a silent majority and rocked by a Reagan revolution, Democrats retreated into what seemed like a permanent defensive position. From policy to rhetoric, the party operated under the assumption that this is
There's a growing contingent of Christians who've come out to support Vice President #KamalaHarris and Governor #timwalz whose values hew more closely to theirs than the treasonous, philandering felon.
#Evangelicals for Harris could motivate a needed voting bloc for the #Democrats and help defuse the drumbeat of dominion that has harmed churches, threatened our #Democracy and damaged the faith of many Americans.

Dame Magazine - · Have Evangelicals Had Enough of Trump? - Dame MagazineOurs is a time of internet prophets forecasting Donald Trump’s return to office. Trump endorsed—and made $300,000 from selling—a branded “God Bless the USA” Bible. Pastors pray at Trump rallies, framing the upcoming election as a spiritual battle against demonic spirits. For many believers, the GOP candidate has displaced the old Holy Trinity: Now, it’s
Across #socialmedia content targeting boys and young men is a noxious stew of toxic masculinity.
It's why the Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz feels like a gift for many parents raising sons.

@Athenae takes the American political media to task in her latest column.
Dame Magazine - · Might As Well Face It, the Press Is Addicted to Trump - Dame MagazineVice-President Kamala Harris was the Democratic presidential candidate for about 30 seconds before the nation’s political media started falling on its keys covering her campaign. Editors and producers amplified Republican complaints about her supposed lack of foreign policy experience, her racial and ethnic heritage, her gender, and … her laugh. CNN reports: [Former President Donald]
The November election presents a stark choice between two visions for America.
On one side, an autocratic regime, consolidating power in the presidency, and dangerously rearranging every lever in the federal administration.
The other, a government led by #KamalaHarris and #TimWalz, that supports personal #freedom, #democracy, body autonomy and #EqualRights for all.
@gothamgirlblue on the stark choice.

The #media has sadly long focused on the "Trump voter in diner" narrative.
But with #Kamala Harris's newly minted presidential campaign injecting the 2024 race with a much needed dose of enthusiasm among Dems, we wanted to hear from long-time #Harris supporters on the race for the Oval Office.

Trump’s ghoulish VP pick is awful at selling the GOP’s terrifyingly regressive platform.

While it was, at times, condescendingly lukewarm in its enthusiasm for Harris, it did outline her strength in polling and her advantage with young voters of color. It acknowledged that Vice-President Harris “is our clearest path to win.” What it

@tofugolem cause maga is mean and they will attack like rabid chihuahuas if the media gets within rifle range of fair or balanced. Media babies are afraid.
they may get fweewings hurt by the big bad bullies. And their bosses are oligarchs and they may get fired. So that fear is real. #independentjournalism is so needed.
Trump said he passed the largest tax cuts ever.
Correction: He passed the largest CORPORATE tax cuts in U.S. history.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cglk87d817zo
My cynical side wonders if that's why corporate media coverage seems to go soft on Trump and hard on Biden.
Which, in turn, reminds me of the value of independent journalism.

Legacy #media is (again) determined to legitimize a convicted criminal and undermine the candidacy of an effective president.
Nothing that happens to #Trump can be anything but great for Trump. If he delivers a speech without digressing into open racism, without threatening someone, he’s adopting a “new tone,” with no regard to his past acts, outbursts or lies
Corporate media has an insidious predilection to normalize Trump.
