I did a video report of the first Tea Party rally in Sacramento. They could thank R/W talk radio for a big assist.
Imagine shows reaching 100 million+ promoting No Kings!

One thing tracking the invasion of Chicago has done (as did the LA invasion) is introduce me to great local journalism outlets, including @blockclubchi.bsky.social.

I think it's one reason Stephen Miller hasn't been more successful sowing fascist spectacle.

How would the Powell Memo have shaped this level of inflation. (I'm aware of its effects on media.)

The Powell Memo. Hmmn. See The Brainwashing of My Dad documentary. @jensenko.bsky.social

Trump games the press, so maybe change the rules? There’s a new playbook for covering people like him

How reporters should cover propagandists:

I wish I could read this story without being targeted for advertising.

Chalk on sidewalks now domestic terrorism.

If it were Lynch's Twin Peaks the cats would be walking backwards crying "wo-ye-m".

Check out this group. They focus a lot on misleading headlines because so many people only read headlines, not the body of stories. www.mediaanddemocracyproject.org/about

For Expertise to Matter, Nonpartisan Institutions Need New Communications Strategies To avoid irrelevance when they are needed most, experts and nonpartisan analysts must rethink not just their channels of communication but also their theory of influence.

I see this old dog needs new tricks:
"...even politicians and policymakers who favor major newspapers or television channels for their own information are influenced by, and must reason with, constituencies who inhabit a fundamentally different media ecosystem."

"Why some federal workers aren't scared by the threat of shutdown layoffs"
Perhaps they wrote the headline that way to get people who wouldn't otherwise read it to take a look. It worked with me.

Headlines often do not match stories. That's a good media lesson to learn.

"Information is power."

Pathological or simply purposeful?

Model: Keep talking, keep lying, keep free media in a box. Confuse the masses then set them against each other.
I hope Abraham Lincoln's message that you can't fool all the people all the time comes to fruit - stat.

It's going to hit mainstream GOP voters all at once and soon, I think. They'll backtrack fast, but will it be in time?

Leadership is not entitled but earned.

Turns out protest alone was never what changed things, it was protest *plus media coverage of protests*, which prompted officials to respond to protests, which increased public awareness of protests, etc.

If the protest happens & corporate media simply ignores it ... it's inert.

Katie Porter was great with her whiteboard in Congress.
But does she have the temperament and executive skills to be Governor?

You've heard me rail against Democrats who do nothing about today's failed media.
Guess what? They are finally fighting back!
I'm attending Fairfax County Democratic Committee's event, “How We Win The Information War: A National Affairs Committee Policy Forum.”

Bluesky has been good to me vis a vis followers. But I find it difficult to organize and keep track of those I follow here. Ideas, anyone?

Thank you!

The Democrats hid their heads in the sand and are still hiding. They cannot see that factual media is critically important.

PS Grok tells me "According to 2025 data from CMS and KFF, about 45 million Americans have coverage through the ACA (Marketplace plans or Medicaid expansion). With a US population of around 343 million, that's approximately 13%."

I get Marketplace. What's Medicaid expansion? 3/

My indie Real Estate husband & I (indie journo) lived through pre Affordable Care Act. Health insurance options were limited, crazy expensive, & with any pre-existing condition, unattainable.
ACA may have morphed into other areas. But let's agree US entrepreneurs deserve to buy health insurance. 2/
