Paranoia Pornographers - Kraut >> .
[edited introduction] Paranoia Pornographers is a series in which the Kraut channel watches alternative media for the viewer. They wish to have it explained to both themselves and to us, why so many online personalities on YouTube, twitter and elsewhere achieve prominence and a massive following of dedicated people malcontents, while peddling LIES and sometimes even dangerous myths. They wish to show to show us the methods of Propaganda, Deception and Marketing by which the personalities of the self-declared Alternative [Authoritarian A-hole] Media, in fact peddle the very Fake News that they accuse others of spreading. They wish to make us conscious of the methods employed by [Ultra-Wrong LIARS] so as to immunize us against the LIES and to provide us with the perception and knowledge to see through the methods and motivations of those who wish to seduce us into their alternative "reality" of alternative facts [aka anti-social propaganda], which in the end always always is a trap of delusions and LIES.

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

Corporate Media Usurpation
As Covid-19 ran rampant across the United States in 2020, local newsrooms across the country cut back—even as they covered the biggest story in decades.
“As far as readers, we saw that skyrocket during the pandemic,” Emma Way, editor at Axios Charlotte, told CNBC. “So at the same time that revenue was falling, readers were spiking. It was kind of this dilemma that I’m sure a lot of news organizations faced.”
Reporters were laid off and furloughed. Some who stayed were offered buyouts.
It was a catastrophic and uncertain time for American newsrooms.
During the pandemic, more than 70 local newsrooms closed across the country. This includes newspapers that have served their communities for decades. Often, these papers are shut with little notice.
But the problem existed long before the pandemic.
Since 2004, about 1,800 U.S. newspapers have closed. Newspapers have struggled to make money with the collapse of print advertising as readership moved online. Then, the digital advertising market quickly became dominated by tech companies like Google and Facebook.
Today, some of the largest newspaper groups in the country —such as Tribune, McClatchy and Media News Group — are owned, controlled by or in debt to hedge funds or private equity groups. In fact, hedge funds and other financial firms control half of the daily newspapers in the United States, according to a recent analysis by the Financial Times.

False-Balance Media Bias
2021 The Media Bias Nobody is Talking About | Robert Reich > .
Robert Reich breaks down how the mainstream media draws a false equivalence between the right wrong and the left and misleads the public about what's really at stake. The mainstream media has historically tried to balance left and right wrong in its political coverage, and present what it views as a reasonable center. That may sound good in theory. But the old politics no longer exists and the former labels “left” versus “right” are outdated. Today it’s democracy versus authoritarianism, voting rights versus white supremacy. There’s no reasonable center between these positions, no justifiable compromise. Equating them is misleading and dangerous. Don't fall for it.

LeftTube & Algorithmic Hijacking
.
Social Media "Economics" - Weighs 'n Means >> . BreadTube, or LeftTube, is a term used to refer to a loose and informal group of online content creators [who] create video essays from socialist, communist, anarchist, and other left-wing perspectives.
The term BreadTube comes from Peter Kropotkin's The Conquest of Bread, a book explaining how to achieve anarcho-communism and how an anarcho-communist society would function.
The term is informal and often disputed, as there are no agreed-upon criteria for inclusion. According to The New Republic, in 2019, the five people most commonly mentioned as examples are ContraPoints, Lindsay Ellis, Hbomberguy, Philosophy Tube, and Shaun, while Kat Blaque and Anita Sarkeesian are cited as significant influences. Ian Danskin (aka Innuendo Studios), Hasan Piker, and Steven Bonnell have also been described as part of BreadTube. Several of these people have rejected the label.
The BreadTube movement itself does not have a clear origin, although many BreadTube channels started in an effort to combat anti-social justice warrior content that gained traction in the mid 2010s. Two prominent early BreadTubers were Lindsay Ellis, who left Channel Awesome in 2015 to start her channel in response to the Gamergate controversy, and Natalie Wynn, who started her channel ContraPoints in 2016 in response to the online dominance of thealt-right Ultra-Wrong at the time. According to Wynn, the origins of BreadTube as well as the alt-right can be traced back to New Atheism.

BreadTube creators generally post videos on YouTube, and are known to participate in a form of "algorithmic hijacking". They will choose to focus on the same topics discussed by content creators with right wrong-wing politics. This enables their videos to be recommended to the same audiences consuming far-right far-wrong videos, and thereby expose a wider audience to their perspectives. The channels often serve as introductions to left-wing politics for young viewers.
