Media

For news sites- The Hill, Fox, Breitbart, Wash Ex, Free Beacon, WSJ, (all owned by Trumpite billionaires) — it is incredibly important to note who owns and manages the site.

Twitter has problems too, and the best way to vet Twitter is to see WHO posts a certain tweet. If they are taking money from rightwing billionaires, then yes you should certainly not post it here. A good example is the guy who took a picture of AOC to criticize her- he works for the DC Examiner and thus takes money from the rightwing billionaire owner, Philip Anschutz.

So yes, we should ALWAYS analyze the agenda behind news. That extends to particular reporters and to their management and ownership. On twitter, we have to think about individuals’ agenda just the same. Tweets from Robert Reich are always welcome here. Tweets from Kim Strassel or Peggy Noonan or Circa are never welcome here. Agenda matters. Where their salary comes from matters.
