Summary: Truth has become a rare commodity in today's corporate media, where the business model is perception meddling rather than reporting

EARLIER today we published a number of short pieces about slanderous media coverage on very important topics, which helped determine the fate/career of very high-profile figures, including Richard Stallman. It's very difficult to find any reputable media/site (which Wikipedia will deem 'credible' enough a reference/citation) that pays any attention to underlying facts, based on hard evidence. They'd rather just regurgitate and integrate corporate-centric and Power-friendly narratives, notably falsehoods, white-washing myths, sometimes even outright slander (which implies it is very much intentional, not an accident or mishap).

"We're living in rather depressing times when it comes to honest, fair journalism."When the Linux Foundation's PR hack met Stallman for a chat some years ago he expected Stallman to answer a question as though he was already dead (and when Stallman rejected the question based on its absurd nature the question was repeated again and again). We're living in rather depressing times when it comes to honest, fair journalism. It's mostly about corporate gain and career-climbing sociopaths who call themselves 'journalists' (looking to appease money holders, not justice). ⬆
