comedyblissoption posted:the NYT was sounding the trumpets of war and was very pro-Iraq War leading up to the invasion it was a relative thing, really. i remember the coverage of the anti-war demonstrations before the war exceptionally well. The local Tulsa World showed a picture of the NY crowd that was zoomed in so much you could only see about 20 people. The nytimes showed a more zoomed out picture, showing around a thousand demonstrators. So the nytimes was about 50x more liberal than the other print media sources I had access to at the time. Years later I saw a picture of that demonstration that ran in the foreign press. The whole demonstration had over 100,000 people, and the protest filled several blocks when photographed in full. So the nytimes managed to appear like a lefty publication to a teenager in OK, while effectively silencing the magnitude of popular dissent.

Upton Sinclair posted:A professional journalist may be defined as a man who holds himself ready at a day's notice to adjust his opinions to the pocket-book of a new owner. I have heard Arthur Brisbane remark that the "New York Times" was sold on several occasions, and on each occasion its "editor" was sold with it. Yet when you read this "editor's" preachments, they are all so solemn and dignified, high-sounding and moral--you would never dream but that you were reading actual opinions of a man! The Brass Check is really a pro-read, it sounds like the forerunner to Manufacturing Consent. What really makes it good is the systematic way it discusses what the media will and will not print, especially as it relates to silencing the scandals of the rich and powerful. Also, a hundred years ago, the AP had a monopoly on the news telegraph service, to the point where it could keep news from Colorado contained within the state for weeks, preventing even the president of the united states from learning about the events they censored. They also paid off telegraph operators to give them copies of anything newsworthy that was cabled on the entire network. So things have gotten a lot better from the introduction of the internet at least.

you should tell them that these aren't chinese factories. these are multinational american factories. the policies have nothing to do with some great malicious china stealing american jobs. the policies are the greed of american capitalists who don't care about their countrymen and also ultimately the economic system. the policies are also not trade. it's only trade if you think ford shipping parts between wisconsin and michigan to build cars entirely inside of their own command economy counts as trade. changing the borders to another country for cheaper labor while still employing under a ford-owned plant doesn't suddenly make the situation trade.

You're trying to exploit a nationalistic narrative, when the point is to get them to hate capitalism itself.
