1. El Dinero Habla: El Caso Kimmel y el Poder del Boicot.
La controversia sobre la censura de Jimmy Kimmel por parte de Sinclair y Nexstar demostró que la única métrica que importa a los conglomerados mediáticos es la pérdida de ingresos. Los boicots de anunciantes y suscriptores forzaron una rápida reversión, probando que el poder económico de la gente puede ser un contrapeso efectivo contra la censura política corporativa.
- Money talks and bullshit walks. Abc, and sinclair have learned that lesson.
- Sinclair caved and ended kimmel blackout for its abc affiliates. Money is what drives them.
- Corporations are more afraid of losing money than they are afraid of trump. Use that. Over and over.
- Sinclair is probably only folding due to pressure from advertisers, as they are the ratings kimmel has had since coming back. Its all about money.
- Money is the only thing they care about. Eliminating it from politics takes their power away.
2. Oligarcas y Propaganda: La Compra de la Influencia Mediática.
La consolidación de los medios bajo el control de multimillonarios (como Ellison, Murdoch y Bezos) no siempre busca la rentabilidad, sino la destrucción de la competencia o la difusión de propaganda de derecha. Estos magnates están dispuestos a operar con pérdidas para asegurar una victoria cultural o política, utilizando los medios como herramientas de influencia.
- Billionaires who own the media conglomerates are pulling the strings.
- The most alarming thing about this unprecedented level of billionaire consolidation of media and journalism is the motive is no longer profit, its just destruction.
- The billionaire right think they can simply just buy up the media to silence resistance because they think we are all stupid and their money can do anything.
- Oligarchs are fine losing money as long as they are getting value. So the ellisons might planning on just subsidizing this.
- The tech bros buying up media dont care if people stop watching or reading. The point is to make it so there arent other options than conservative media.
3. El Colapso de la Integridad Periodística.
La búsqueda incesante de ganancias y la obediencia a los intereses de los propietarios han llevado a los medios tradicionales a sacrificar la verdad y la ética. El periodismo se ha convertido en un "negocio de la indignación" o en un vehículo para la propaganda, donde la honestidad y la investigación son reemplazadas por narrativas que favorecen a la élite.
- Nothing matters more to these people than money. And they will never have enough.
- The capitalism of the media is such a problem... Its clear they do not give a fuck about integrity, honest reporting, facts or really anything. Its all about making money.
- The free press wont defend us because they are corporate whores, afraid of losing money because of trump.
- The fact that we dont have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay bari weiss between 100 and 200 million is indicative of what the ellisons true goal here is, a network correspondent said. And its not journalism.
- Journalism is dying, not for lack of interest, but for a lack of quality news for an increasingly uninformed and money-conscious youth.
4. Llamados a la Acción y Apoyo a Medios Independientes.
Ante la captura corporativa de los principales canales de noticias, se insta a los ciudadanos a retirar su apoyo financiero a los medios comprometidos y redirigir ese dinero hacia fuentes de periodismo independiente y sin fines de lucro que se centren en la verdad y la rendición de cuentas, utilizando el poder del consumidor como resistencia.
- Its time to give your money to news agencies who deserve it zeteo, wired, pro publica, democracy now, majority report.
- Dont give them money, guys. Save your money for independent journalists doing the real cutting-edge work.
- Stop giving entertainment mega companies money and donate instead.
- We need publicly funded media in the usa along with some big money from lefties with cash.
- Stop subscribing! you cant keep throwing your money at them and expect them to change.
