The Media

[mullokintyre]

The changing face of media.
Below is a list of some of the top 50 new sites round the world from the Press Gazette
Virtually all of them have declined, except for the Indian ones.

Newsweek was the fastest growing web site in December.
And once again, two Indian websites appeared in the list.
The Indian sub continent has discovered the internet.

I had a persuse of it.
the first thing I noticed was that there are 7 directors and 10 people in the leadership team.
The ABC has failed dismally in the gender and diversity department.
No POC, Asians, middle eastern , or pacific islanders on the board or the leadership team.
The board has 4 blokes and three women on.
On the leadership team, 7 Blokes and only 3 women.
Four out of the seven blokes have nbeards, and none of the females have beards.
I didn't go any further, if they can't even get serious about their DEI, its a waste of time.

Got sick and tired of the inane rumblings and the presenters in general. mostly listen to a music based station these days, especially when on one of the tractors.

The downer for me is too many stories that are of little interest to me, foreign disasters, US politics, social sob stories, foreign news in general , useless arts stories, feminist bs, downtrodden minorities and little useful information.

Very little science and tech that could be interesting.

Just saw an advert on tv about some sort of push for firearms.
I wonder if this is an advert to start to give a springboard for a loony right uprising that is growing.
Jeez I hope not, it is a pretty pizz poor representation of thugs, more like like a rally call for the village idiots.

This is the sporting shooting assoc or whatever it is called. New laws coming soon and they don't like it. I've received a notification but haven't got around to reading it in detail yet.

It's funny these days isn't it, we actually hold a singer, or an actor in such esteem that we actually care what their politics are, oh my how the world has changed.

Yes, that in itself shows how bad the education system is, no critical thinking, just mindless "metoo-ism".

Not sure the world has changed that much, remember Ronnie Reagan, and of course Zelensky used to be a comedian.

Yes but for the life of me, I can't remember who the Beatles voted for. Lol

Celebrities only preach to the choir. Remember our own useful idiot, Johnny Farnham (and others), tried to sway the Voice vote.

The Dems always roll out rich faux socialist performers. I remember Springsteen supporting Hillarious.

It doesn't work.

Only cheating works for them.
