There is no need for conspiracy, if media companies thought they could sell more advertisements you can be goddamn sure they would. They'll print anything to sell papers. The demographic really interested in the details of this are probably not who they are selling ads to.
- Systemic33 13y agoIt really isn't a conspiracy anymore. It's more like a statement of fact. Media in the traditional sense, just pure and simple, isn't what it used to be in more than one way. Maybe it's the people tweeting the news instead of articles that change governements now (not that i'd want that, but meant as in the expression). I'm pretty certain the watergate scandal would never have ended the way it did, if it happened in 2013. It would just be dusted under the rug, and a retroactive law passed through to legalize the offense.
- hyperventilator 13y agoThis story os everywhere BBC, NYT etc. Pretending there is a media blackout undermines credibility.
- iaskwhy 13y agoBBC has been very silent about all this compared to some other UK media.
- hyperventilator 13y agoAs long as you define very silent as running stories every other day.
