Big Media depends on big money from big corporations. No wonder that it promotes the corporate agenda and the agendas of governments that serve corporate interests.

Truly independent media depends on money from small donors. No wonder that it reports from the perspective of the average woman and man against corporate-controlled government agendas at home and abroad.
With the concentration of Big Media in the hands of a few big corporations, and with Big Media supporting the militarist agenda of governments in pursuit of corporate profits, independent media has never been needed more than today, especially as the pursuit of power and profit has given us genocide and the peril of world war in a nuclear age.

….. “Orange you glad” that Consortium News dot com rocks a completely different jam, i.e., *“Accomplishment of purpose is better than making a profit?” i.e., The philosophy of Robert Parry, *“You don’t pay love back; you pay it forward.”
…*“We remember the great investigative reporter Robert Parry, who founded Consortium News in 1995. He left us way too soon on 27 Jan 2018.” After being ‘cancelled’ “by the corporate agenda,” *“Bob created Consortium News in 1995 as a [Consortium of Journalists] who had similarly had their stories suppressed. The site was the earliest independent news site on the internet in the United States. Bob & his writers made their mark in exposing corporate media falsehoods about the rationale for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the coup & attack on coup resisters in Ukraine in 2014 & the fake Russiagate scandal.”
…..*“While Bob’s magazine & newsletter projects had been discontinued, the website was still publishing articles, providing a home for dissenting voices that questioned the case for invading Iraq in late 2002 & early 2003. Around this time, former C.I.A. analyst [RAY McGOVERN] & some of his colleagues founded Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity; &, a long-running relationship w/Consortium News was established. Several former intelligence veterans began contributing to the website, Motivated by the [SAME] independent spirit of truth-telling that compelled Bob to invest so much in this project.” Nate Parry.

It’s not just the MSM that we have to be aware of.
‘Tel Aviv has increasingly turned to AI (Assisting Israel) to influence the views of foreign audiences, who are developing negative views of Israel in response to its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. …
Last fall, the Israeli government hired a company to help it “train ChatGPT” to be more “pro-Israel,” Responsible Statecraft reported, citing a contract with a US conservative-linked firm, Clock Tower X LLC.
AI presents an incredible opportunity for the Jewish lobby because “instead of trying to control the whole world” and “manage” social media, “we can go directly to the companies” with “advocacy solutions,” stated Dr Maya Ackerman of the American Jewish Committee.

I always donate to CN, and greatly appreciate your work. The Corporate-Owned-News (CON) is not worthless, it is dangerous. It is the megaphone for the merchants of death that push the US war agenda. The problem is, many people find the CON to be addictive, and they can’t turn it off. Decades of research and billions of dollars have been put into figuring out how to draw viewers in, and it is working, even on some of my longtime friends. Propaganda works, and that is one of the great problems of our time.
I send a MO, which i sent earlier this year. The main media is useless except for weather, local-state news, one must be a born skeptic now, in the USA. There is NO forum in this country for national debate or no. Holds barred truth. Period. Boobus Americano’s reigns.
Amen. A with me, you are preaching to the choir but ain’t everyone in it. Thank you for this. Will share widely to family members who do not understand.
I will donate as soon as I get another job.
