KeymasterWe certainly don’t hold with the right-wing media but in the US there are attempts not to go through the legislative process and pass laws but to pressure unaccountable private companies to de-platform the cable news outlets, the liberal/progressive/leftists disagree with.

ParticipantThis article was submitted to multiple “progressive” publications touting a principled commitment to freedom of speech. It was rejected by all of them.
Not submitted to us surely?

KeymasterI very much doubt we are on Finkelstein’s radar.
And anyway it would have been rejected by the Standard’s editors as they are reluctant to publish non-members.
The WSPUS may have been more receptive having a more lenient editorial policy
And our SOYMB blog would very much have welcomed it since i have admired Finkelstein for quite a while even if he is dour sounding individual. In fact, i have trouble identifying any animated speaker.

KeymasterIt should go to climate crisis thread but i already posted twice there
This didn’t make the UK news…we can wonder why
But one point is clear, well-intentioned initiatives such as climate citizen’s assemblies simply have their recommendations ignored if it doesn’t fit in with capitalism’s plans.

ParticipantKarma? I don’t have Facebook. I found a policeman who assaulted a pregnant woman and a man video posted on Facebook and comments by the usual suspects (retiree cops) praising the cop, abusing the female, offensive.
The pregnant woman is suing the police.Facebook are crying because Apple have a new feature iOS 14.5 that’s automatically set to off, that stops companies (like Facebook) from tracking advertising, to users.

ParticipantThis. Facebook can count on their racist users to pay up.
The we don’t like what you say report and get you shut down users to cough up.
Good luck with that.

KeymasterBBC bias reporting
This is from RT, a main rival to the BBC and the voice of Putin’s Russia, but even so, its claims of the BBC distorting the news is valid.

ParticipantRe my #215880, relatedly see this by Chomsky in 1989: https://chomsky.info/1989____/ .
(edit: I suppose this would probably have been better posted on the Anti-zionism is not anti-semitism thread.)
