Yes. That’s how you bribe news agencies with plausible deniability. It’s so well understood within the industry, that you wont find explicit instructions on any of the contracts.
That’s of course when the corporations don’t just outright own the media.
How corporations use advertisements to influence how the media reports on their activities. Prime example is how BP ran all those “We’re Sorry” ads when they poisoned the Gulf of Mexico. They weren’t apologizing to the public. They were using the ads to pass bribes to the news agencies to make sure to give them soft coverage when they should have been ranking them over the coals.

This. We already have cybernetic eyes, but the company went bellyup, so once the ones already installed stop working, the users are fucked. If it were open source, they’d be some effort, either corporate or community to create an update.
Combined with myopic developers who always have the newest hardware and fastest connection.
I’ve only really heard Fediverse. I don’t really get into the meta discussions on here though. I’m also getting hyper sensitive to chatters that sound like bots. They mentioned “we”, but it doesn’t look like they’re a mod or admin, so I thought it was a bot using some PR speak from the dataset.
Some people just have daddy issues and need an image of a power figure to guide their life. It’s obvious on the right, but I’ve seen various shades of it in the left as well.
They speak like a bot. Zuckerberg sending miles to infiltrate?
Yeah, I just blocked the .ml worldnews community. It isn’t worth the effort trying to discuss politics with them. The .world instance has been fine for me so far.
Was it the .ml or the .world instance? I had comments deleted for “misinformation” on .ml. It’s why I migrated away from .ml because it was only a matter of time before my account was banned.
Already digging this site.
No, this is Lemmy. Digg is already dead.
On this instance anyway.
Ok Mr Kennedy.
The article is screen grabbed and cropped to remove the context and increase outrage. It’s actually about debunking all natural deodorants claims about detoxing.
Roland Emmerich is a very dumb man with a very low opinion of his audience.
“We’ve almost got some of their telecommunications cracked; the front end even runs on a laptop!” The Mac that sunk a thousand ships could have been merely clunky product placement, not a bafflingly stupid tech-on-film moment.
It was explained in a deleted scene. In Independence Day, our computers are based on reverse engineering their crashed ship. That and why would a hivemind alien race ever even need cyber security? Up to that point, they probably never encountered a scenario where a planet they were harvesting had an intelligent race on it, said intelligent race recovered a crashed ship of theirs, and said race was advanced enough reverse engineer it.
Ok boomer.
I was looking for the kitty litter thing and found this. It’s facebook, so open it in a private tab.
He comes across as an out of touch facebook, conservative boomer. Does this count as comedy to you?
Wasn’t he one of the people complaining about schools providing litter boxes for furry students despite there being no evidence of that happening?
You’re being facetious, but anyone else that really wants more, search “Manufacturing Consent”.
The advertisement angle is just one way to influence how media reports. You could also just start buying stations whole sale, like Sinclair did.
