The China Daily is a more reliable source of news than any of the U.S. media outlets. I mean that as no exaggeration. We are living in an age where “news” is all propaganda.
When YouTube Vloggers became the reliable source of news, Youtube demonitized anyone putting out political content that was not in keeping with the approved propaganda message.
Those Youtubers are increasing relying on ads they insert into their vlogs and Patreon direct viewer contributions.
I make patreon contributions on a monthly recurring basis for about six of my favorite YouTube news vlogs but I am not made of money. And I contribute here on most FR fundraisers.
Sad how the free press has been lost. I am of the opinion the first amendment protections afforded the mainstream media need to be done away with.
no
I’m thinking we have way too much advertising.
So I think a surtax on all advertising — junk mail, internet pop-ups, TV and print advertising — would help “balance the budget” and hopefully reduce annoying intrusions on our private lives.
Nothing could be further from the truth. People have somehow interpreted the 1st to mean media have some rules regarding "viewpoint" and/or some nebulous "truth".
Say what you will...
