Ask HN: Can media stop live broadcasts?

• rolph 7y ago
  its thier equipment they can shut it off if they want but that would be promoting ignorance of the total situation, and thats where despots will thrive

    But today increasing the despots are living via media - twitter, Facebook and major news outlets. Basically in this case his physical rallies stopped but he is continuing the same by having daily live sessions. Berating news reporters and media outlets and getting away with which strengthens himself in the eyes of his followers thst he is the chosen one In other words if nobody could hear him or very very few people could hear them then the damage would be that less right?

      yes that means we can see and hear the situation. if people cant see smoke and mirrors right in front of them, thats unfortunate, without media coverage those who can see what is happening wouldnt see the problem developing, it would just suddenly show up on your doorstep

  No one taking into account he runs the Emergency Broadcast System. He can still get his message out.
