You are defining winning as upsetting liberals rather than achieving any of the goals that are the fundamentals of conservatism. Reagan, Bush, and all of my strong Republican ancestors are spinning in their graves. |
What truly free press can we switch our payments? Democracy doesn't win if no media is left standing to shine a light on reality. Where is the good, ethical journalism these days? |
DP: When the government compels a private actor to do something, the government is acting. It's a legal doctrine. |
Sure it is. I have a challenge: go check out the headlines on the homepage right now and honestly assess whether (a) the coverage is valuable, and (b) whether you’d likely have seen that news in the Guardian. Notable items: -breakdown of the CDC testimony -proposal to change vax schedule -free day care initiative in NM -organ donation system whistleblower -Dem funding proposal re govt shutdown -Education Dept partnering with conservative groups for civics education And on and on. This is stuff that we need desperately to have an informed citizenry. You’re cutting off your nose to spite your face. |
Disagree 100%. They are as biased as the NYT. Follow Apple News (which has a ton of newspapers/media) or independent media. Sign up for 1440 19th Street news. So many independent journalists are on IG for free and have paid Substacks. I don't need billionaires to think for me. |
FCC Chair Brendan Carr says Sinclair has "every right" to demand that Jimmy Kimmel to donate to Turning Point USA |
the 51st for local DC On national stuff, I subscribe to specific writers, most of whom left the Post or NY Times. |
Apple News is just scraping the AP wire via local newspapers. They are not a news organization with worldwide bureaus. And...Apple isn't paying for it, so you are basically stealing news and not compensating the actual journalists. |
Jimmy can take his show to PBS. Oh, wait. |

the SCOTUS NRA v. Vullo case gives Kimmel a pretty good roadmap for a lawsuit against the government and ABC. And this was a unanimous SCOTUS decision. |
When Trump talks about sexual assault, MAGA says it’s “just locker room talk”. When he makes violent insinuations towards others, you say”he’s just joking”.
When a comedian jokes about the president, NAGA wants to burn the constitution and gets then fired. When a 22 year old makes a tasteless joke on social media, they doxx them. I can’t wait for you all to be shamed back under your rock. You are the worst of humanity. |
Disney sucks! |
Apple News is garbage. Many of the independent “journalists” either (a) don’t adhere to basic journalistic standards, (b) don’t have sufficient staff/resources to cover the issues, and/or (c) don’t have editorial staff/structures in place to ensure proper coverage. You’re recommending apples when we really need oranges. |
Why are you posting fake news on a discussion about real, independent journalism. Apple does pay licensing fees. If journalists don't like it, or the oppression, they may leave. "The free version of Apple News has been a source of audience attention for news publishers since it launched in 2015. But while many publishers have come to the conclusion that traffic has less business value than they once thought, they’re still desperate for revenue. Executives at companies including Condé Nast, Penske Media, Vox, Hearst, and Time all told Semafor that Apple News+ has come to represent a substantial stream of direct revenue. A spokesperson for Time said that Apple News has become “one of our most important partners and delivers 7-figures of revenue for TIME annually,” adding that the publication garnered 5 million unique visitors from Apple News last month. The revenue and audience numbers have been similar at major Condé Nast publications, including Wired and Vanity Fair. As significant as the partnership has been for the Daily Beast, it’s been even bigger for its larger corporate sister Dotdash Meredith, which runs the portfolio of magazines purchased by Daily Beast parent company IAC in 2021." https://www.semafor.com/article/05/19/2024/as-clicks-dry-up-for-news-sites-could-apples-news-app-be-a-lifeline Here's another one for you. https://www.amediaoperator.com/newsletter/can-pubs-really-depend-on-apple-news/#:~:text=Apple%20News%2B%20charges%20users%20%2412.99,from%20premium%20magazines%20and%20newspapers%E2%80%A6&text=The%20company%20licenses%20articles%20from,audiences%20spend%20on%20each%20piece.
