oh, that reminds me. i listened to an episode donbass devushka did with this german historian that explain the origins of ukraine's nazis on breakthrough news last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C7DE2KFJHs the podcast that came out last month: https://rss.com/podcasts/donbassdevushka/872111/ quote:Donbass Devushka and JM sit down with Professor Tarik Cyril Amar to discuss his book The Paradox of Ukrainian Lviv: A Borderland City between Stalinists, Nazis, and Nationalists, different visions and images of Lviv/Lwow/Lemberg/Lvov, what the effect of each was on the city, and what learning about how Lemberg became Lviv can tell us about the Soviet experience, and the making of Lviv through the unmaking of its other identities. tarik is fairly anti-russian, so it's interesting how even he recognizes the propaganda bias about several historical events/massacres/etc in the area

Look at the kind of politics that we're supposed to venerate - exemplified by people like Obama, who typified the managerial, bureaucratic, decorum based candidate that the logic of neoliberalism dictates. From a class perspective, modern journalists are all uniformly liberal because they come from Ivy League schools; they share no class consciousness and will always relate more to the owner of the newspaper they work for than the warehouse worker that prints the paper. They all desperately want to be part of the club in Washington because they share the same background as everyone in there. Of course they are the FBI and CIAs dream, they will do whatever the security state asks them to, because they believe that it will get them brownie points in Washington. There is no more adversarial journalism at the level of NYT or WAPO, they should be read the same way anyone reads any state backed media - which is to get a sense of what the US government wants to get out there.

The people who defend these news orgs basically have a limited understanding of "state media" where they assume that the media employees are just being forced to say things by the government, when in reality US journalists just have immense and obvious incentive to maintain a friendly relationship with the government. It doesn't matter if the government is literally commanding you to do things when your organization directly benefits from being friendly with the government. If anything, stuff that is explicitly state media like RT is more honest because it's up-front about its political alignment.

Why are media organisations government stoooges? Simple. They would have gone bankrupt without government cash injections long, long ago. Their business model doesn't make money on its own 2 feet.

It doesn't matter if the government is literally commanding you to do things when your organization directly benefits from being friendly with the government. I totally agree. NYT isn't going to be literally false. In fact, a lot of its reporting is factual - but it's factual in the sense that it's only once side of the story. A publicly traded company like NYT will have responsibilities to its board and shareholders first, who will ensure a friendly and oftentimes, helpful attitude towards the government. The ideas surrounding the 4th estate are largely diffused in an era where capital and government go hand in hand. You cannot be a dissident paper and a corporate player at the same time - without capital, goodbye to those Pulitzer Prizes. In the case of the Ukraine war, it's not really surprising that all of the Bush era neocons have become Democrats and/or liberals and are the same ones pushing the state narrative. I personally understand the logic behind it - but if you're trying to get an accurate picture of the world, and only rely on this? Lol.

Slavvy posted:'Taken it upon themselves' is an absolutely bizarre way of saying 'the US government told them to' My impression is that there's probably very little of anyone being told to do anything, rather large swaths of the media have shown themselves to be willing, even enthusiastic, foot soldiers on the side of the West in what they see as a conflict between good and evil, liberal democracy vs. despotism.
