I wrote a lot about these build-in structural biases in Hoaxed. Stuff that would get a conservative run over the coals gets overlooked, gets a pass. And I don't think it's malicious (usually). It's a built in structural bias.https://www.amazon.com/Hoaxed-Deadly-Consequences-Fake-News-ebook/dp/B07FT1GL51/ …

Americans have a fundamental sense of fair play, and it's clear to all that the rules are different for conservatives. And it doesn't have to be this way! In fact, "the market" is moving away from the cable news model. Enter podcasts.

Who controls the media? Advertisers. Right now the ad money goes to cable news, which is inherently biased, but podcasts and long form conversation are in the rise. But the market shows the majority of people want long-form, unedited content.

Media is inherently self-referential (media-on-media stories), and thus they are missing a trend. People on left like Dave Rubin, JP, Weinstein are drawing thousands of people REGULARLY, and Moly doing same on the right. How many CNN town halls would attract those crowds?

Short form, edited content gets well-funded because advertisers haven't made the switch. But the real, organic demand is for long-form video. "Show us both sides, show us the facts, let us decide." Yet you don't see podcasts reported on much, other than when attacked.

We are still in transition phase. Cable subscriptions subsidize networks, but when users - especially under 40 - have a choice, they choose podcasts. This isn't a trend. Human connection is universal. And legacy media, especially with the built-in biases, won't influence 20204.

The REAL trends, not outrage stuff on TV, is trending in the right direction - Human connection, long form content, which is both critical, empathetic. In the short term, however, it gets worse - Livelihoods destroyed - Shootings + bombings We are in major transition phase.

Sarkon of Akkad has a family. His livelihood was destroyed. The far left is gleeful. They don't have any sense that he is a human being. This is a dangerous mindset for them, and also draws a counter-reaction.

What is the far left going to do when they've deplatformed everyone they hate, which is 40% of country? They haven't thought this through. If you WANTED bad stuff to happen in U.S., you'd applaud the far left's actions to bankrupt people. They are radicalizing moderates.

Anyhow, I hope you have found this thread useful and not too self-indulgent. I don't like the short-term trends, which is why I am really working to be nice(ish) and not part of the problem. Civilization is worth preserving. Merry Christmas!

The book sounds like it is written by a reporter almost as narcissistic as HRC. No wonder they failed to understand Hillary was getting beaten and still can’t accept it!
