Senior year of college (about 6 years ago) I took a media literacy class. I was the only one in the class that understood what socialization and hegemony were.

It was really concerning to see actual adults struggle to understand and consider who or what was providing the information.
Does hegemony have a field-specific definition when you're talking about information generation and consumption? I don't honestly see how it's related here :shobon:

The Washington Post is fake news.
No, that's the Washington Times.

Pretty sure the Times isn't fake news either, just conservative.
I just figured one good shitpost deserved another, and I enjoy when people confuse the two.

(Although if you told me one of the two ran a fake story I'd guess the Times, in a vacuum, I don't know of any instances where they have!)

They are really trying to say that Alex loving Jones is Russia's top propaganda site in the U.S followed closely by the Ron Paul Institute.

:lol:
I thought the list was chronological, not sorted by influence.

...because if I had to start a list of Russian stooge media, yes, Alex Jones of frequent-RT-guesting fame would be one of the first names that came to mind.

Did I misread that somewhere? That page makes my eyes gloss over because it's written poorly, laid out poorly, and frankly smells of insanity.
