TV “news” is bad, even the good ones. The format is the problem, and that’s before getting to platforming people who lie shamelessly

De overmatige aandacht van de publieke omroep voor de Formule 1 past in de algehele mondiale trend van de verdere verdomming van het plebs als één van de doelstellingen van het techbro-fascisme. #AmusingOurselvesToDeath
Taak van NOS is _niet_ om mensen naar het zin te maken maar hen te informeren “zodat de Nederlandse burger beter in staat is te oordelen over ontwikkelingen in de wereld, waardoor hij zijn gedrag beter kan bepalen.”

I see your point, but it’s not amnesia when certain histories were never taught in schools, which was/is by design. You can’t forget something that you never knew. Americans know more about sports, entertainment, and trivia than actual history. #AmusingOurselvesToDeath

As bad as Fox and other TV news is, I think short form video is worse

It's easy to call out the Orwellian don't-believe-your-eyes propaganda, and we absolutely should. But the happy-talk, infantilizing, no-need-to-pay-attention-to-difficult-things propaganda of Huxley can be just as dangerous. #amusingourselvestodeath

What “legacy” media is still credible? ANY television “news” that isn’t #AmusingOurselvesToDeath? Major newspapers? The main @npr.org news shows? Magazines?

It’s not the that none of the these do good work. Just that the political priorities of their leadership take precedence.
