Replying to @DanielleFong @MeFromBefore
Honestly, Danielle, if you're going to keep saying this you need to clarify what you mean. Do you mean specific media outlets—or inevitably journalism as a practice? Do you mean specific ethical missteps taken by journalists?If so, which ones, and can you cite examples?

Journalism is systematically corrupt in a way that is so tight that they do not fix their own problems. They cast out independent journalists who speak their minds. Only few can, within the system, & these are self moderated.

When you get to major media outlets like that, yeah, they are forced to partially be propaganda arms for the U.S. government basically in order to exist at all. They likely still do some good. But when you say 'the Media' you cast a wide net and it includes independent journalism

You can point out instances of bad/corrupt journalism all night Danielle; it’s not really adding much to your thesis That the bad/corrupt media gets into so many people’s brains is the problem. Good journalism also exists. It needs defending, signal boosting, funding, etc.

Yes! If anything, if we signal-boost the incredible achievements of the many journalists who have courage and intellectual integrity, that alone will suffice to put any bad actors in the industry to shame. The obvious difference of quality and virtue speaks for itself.

F. Nietzsche: "Mistrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful. [. . .] The hangmen and the bloodhound look out of their faces. Mistrust all who talk much of their [own] justice!" This cuts both ways.

"Die by the tweet?" Nah. No one should die by tweet. Period. We aren't in Sparta. I refuse 2 accept these terms. I don't need 2 b willing to die for any thing, idea, person, or cause. Risk 4 my values=my choice. In political philosophy, yes denying me that choice=LITERAL fascism.
