What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)

word is Grusch's op-ed has been cleared for a while but none of the big outlets like NYT or Wapo will publish it and he doesn't wanna go small beans like The Debrief again, lol

That's not a particularly comforting sign

either it's not much of anything or it's something but the newspapers are bought of by intelligence

either of those is wildly disappointing

It's probably both, but my guess is the "not much of anything" part is nothing that can be substantiated

assuming that the rumour is true

imo it’s the latter and they don’t want to risk appearing like a laughingstock (which lol shush now)

they don’t really have any room for that though considering some of the op-eds both have published in the past

oh no, what if the NYT or Wapo published an opinion piece full of laughable bullshit, whatever would these bastions of journalism do

it's 100% because they are state media and the Pentagon is telling them not to

the big papers have always been spookshows

the u nited states pretends it doesnt have propaganda but seriously it doesn't even pass the sniff test without being a credulous idiot; the NYT, wapo, the cable news networks, etc. all in their own ways have allegiances to the state's priorities, and newer media not any better. alphabet and meta are in so deep there's no meaningful exemption: if you're an american business whose job is disseminating information, and you have a large viewership, you're tied into that apparatus big time

so grush better suck it up and publish where he's got an in is what i'm saying.

I don't know if this is an argument worth having but you realize that the DoD has an entire wing dedicated to how it interacts with media? like their job is to cultivate relationships and leverage them to the benefit of the state, and these relationships go really deep for "places of record" lol

oh for sure, i just mean i think a lot of this is not a direct order, but people sipping at the IC teat and just going oh yeah that makes sense

i bet some of this is involves making some of the reporters feel like they're on the "inside"

ultimately the outcome is the same i think they're just using honey more often than vinegar

Meta is literally a DARPA program spun out to a "business". Lifelog ended as a program at the exact same time Facebook started, and Lifelog references have been found in Facebooks code base. The guy who ran Lifelog was an Iran/Contra dude too lol

it's kinda like that island in Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom that you gotta shoot a zora scale thru to u nlock that dungeon. It looks like stupid loving nothing until your perspective is right. From the wrong perspective the pattern isn't readily discernable, from the right one you can open the gates to t he temple and fuckig ascend, teach the pollution monster how to have throat game and become the hero of time or w/e
