Melanie D’Arrigo @darrigomelanie.bsky.social · 15/12/2024You can’t blame voters for being uninformed when all of the news is paywalled but the propaganda remains free. 31588161

Amy S✌️💙🤷♀️🍿 @saintsophia.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Yes, to my point: We need a remedial education program that is responsive to their ignorance. Also, it must be fun. I'm a program planner, and I think I could do it. So why doesn't someone affiliated with politics do this for the poor ignorant fools for whom democracy is a mystery? 000
Brad S @bjr32.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Good point. Need to make real accurate news more accessible. 010
PaulDu @pauldu.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Excellent point you have made. Free news is like an all-you-can-eat buffet. People will probably fill up on it 000
Louie Campos @lou-i-and-i.bsky.social · 15/12/2024The other one that gets me upset is when they make editorial decisions to not report on a story because they are afraid of accusations of bias. You have one job msm and you do not do it because it hurt fascists' feelings. 030
Jennifer C @thejenniwren.teamlh.social · 15/12/2024I admit I hadn’t thought of that before and you are absolutely correct. Most people can’t afford subscriptions to Substack & most of the news sources that report facts. 0132
SpryOldLorax @spryoldlorax.bsky.social · 16/12/2024I think I can, because I manage to stay accurately informed and don't pay for any of those paywalls. People CHOOSE to buy into the propaganda, and CHOOSE to believe the worst about Democrats, liberals, racial & religious minorities, and LGBT+ people IN SPITE of all the evidence to the contrary. 110

kitemanheckyeah.bsky.social @kitemanheckyeah.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Also, corporate owned media sanewashing Trump. www.wbur.org/onpoint/2024...wbur.orgIs the media 'sanewashing' Trump?The media uses small soundbites and sensible summaries to make Donald Trump sound more coherent than he actually is. But by doing so, some argue that the media ends up presenting a misleading picture ... 030
billsi.bsky.social @billsi.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Sigh. I disagree. It gives impression of a thought process saying, since news is paywalled, let’s consume propaganda. The ones seeking truth can find it outside of paywalls as well. Those looking for endorsement of their beliefs will seek propaganda. Missing piece is lack of critical thinking. 120
bbny.bsky.social @bbny.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Anyone with a subscription to fact based journalism media sites should be posting gift articles regularly 0120

wethepeople @joydesigner.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Yes! Democrats are smart about a lot of things, but as a party we S🤮ck at marketing & messaging. 160
George Gaines @thejimiproject.bsky.social · 24/12/2024And that's why we lefties need to avoid calling our low info friends and family members bad names but instead try to educate them. Btw, you're the best writer I've seen on this platform. Keep swinging. 000

E Angel Formerly Love, Light & Lincoln @enlangel.bsky.social · 15/12/2024This! We talked about this yesterday. "Exclusive" is EXCLUSIONARY. And the shame of it is, the "exclusive" news is the news EVERYONE needs to know... EVERYONE! 010

Swell & Swale @swellandswale.bsky.social · 15/12/202445 years ago I delivered the local paper. It was $1/week and nearly everyone subscribed. For that same amount you can be well-informed today. Most folks don’t want to pay anything, which is unrealistic. 170
