Revealed: former British ambassador Sir Andrew Wood's key role in Trump investigation | The Independent
When mass media is forced to stick to a business model to survive any notion of independent news is lost. Newscorp is the largest non news provider in the Anglosphere and the greatest supporter of the Global Corporate Right. Combined they are the world's largest threat to Democracy.A former British ambassador to Russia had a hugely significant role in American intelligence agencies receiving explosive allegations about Donald Trump and the Kremlin. The Independent has learned that US Senator John McCain spoke to Sir Andrew Wood, who served in Moscow as the UK’s head of mission for five years, about claims that the US President-elect was susceptible to blackmail over alleged sexual activity and that his team had colluded with Moscow during the presidential election campaign.
Remembering the time Donald Trump 'mocked a disabled reporter'
Trump declares " I didn't do it" and the media print his denial not his lie. When media tactics is not news.
Journalism under Attack | Issues in Science and Technology
Why Meryl Streep said "Journalist's need to be protected" It's why we need the ABC and a separation of paid opinion based on interests and that based on facts. What Andrew Bolt does should be separated from anything titled and presented as news.
"Donald Trump’s improbable march to the White House
shocked many, but the tactics that made it possible undoubtedly looked
familiar to those who have navigated the topsy-turvy landscape of
contested science. For Trump’s success was predicated on techniques that
are used by advocates across the ideological spectrum to dispute or at
least muddy established and verified truths anywhere.
First, it’s important to understand that Trump's and the minority extremist's like Tony Abbott winning
strategy is centered on demonizing opponents and de-legitimizing
critics, such as those pesky, fact-checking journalists. This requires
an overarching narrative—of a corrupt media establishment.
That narrative has an existing conservative foundation for extreme conservatives to build on, using new informational architecture from
allies such as Newscorp's Andrew Bolt, 2GBs StevePrice and others they mold themselves on like Steve Bannon, the former chairman of Breitbart Media now Trump’s campaign manager and chief counselor.Verified facts have no place at Breitbart a often used source of Andrew Bolt's.
To the perplexed political journalism community:"
Welcome to the world of science journalism, where with respect to some
topics, the more you report facts, the less they seem to matter. Anyone
who’s been on the front lines of the climate wars, feel free to nod
along. The same goes for you scientists and science communicators who
have gotten entangled in the genetically modified organism (GMO) thicket
or who have chased anti-vaccine activists down a rabbit hole."
