They being the media. Journalistic integrity died years ago. We like to blame Russian for the last election outcome, but are quick to forget that mega corporations spent way more time and effort trying to sway the election. For some reason we are ok with Google trying to influence voters through recommends and search results, but aren't ok when Russian does the same thing using ads (on Google platforms). Google, Twitter, Facebook had no problem taking Russian money during the election.
- icebraining 9y agoAre we ok with and/or easy to forget about mega corporations trying to sway the elections? Why do you think so?
