  1. Une (rare) chronique sur la présence des ex-politiciens dans l'espace médiatique québécois, où ils sont omniprésents - élément qui ne laisse de surprendre lorsqu'on arrive de l'extérieur.

    La chroniqueuse relève le problème que pose cette connivence pour des questions d'homogénéité sociale, professionnelle, et d'exposition de la politique politicienne, principalement.

    Il y a un point central, absent explicitement du texte : en démocratie, les médias sont le "4e pouvoir", un véritable contre-pouvoir (OK, il y a des conditions à cela et rien ne se fait parl'opération d'une simple baguette magique. N'empêche). En brouillant les frontières entre espace médiatique et espace politique, la présence d'ex-politiciens dans l'espace médiatique québécois affaiblit l'espace du débat démocratique.

  6. By contrast, when #Biden makes a gaffe—mixing up a name or a date rather than, for example, suggesting that boats sink because they’re heavy—questions arise about his mental fitness to be president. A president who occasionally misspeaks is far less worrying than one who purveys #delusional fantasies & #ConspiracyTheories. Biden may gaffe, but he lives in #reality; Trump often doesn’t.

  7. Except that even this truism breaks down when it comes to the asymmetry between coverage of #Trump & #Biden: Based on GoogleNews tallies, the news story about Biden’s dog biting a Secret Service agent spurred far more press coverage than Trump saying that he would order shoplifters to be shot w/o a trial if he became president.

  8. Coming from #Biden, that exact statement might have prompted calls from across the political spectrum for him to drop out of the race. From #Trump, it was a blip that barely registered. I’ve previously called this dynamic “the banality of crazy”: Trump’s ludicrous statements are ignored precisely because they’re so routine—& #routine occurrences don’t drive the news. They are the proverbial “dog bites man” stories that get ignored by the #press.

  9. What the Media can do to stop #Trump

    Ban repeat liars from live interviews
    Never put a lie in the headline
    Use a truth sandwich when reporting on lies
    Don’t take the bait (stop rewarding drama with visibility)
    Abandon the social media algorithm (don’t let Xitter dictate the news cycle)

  10. Fascinating thread by this serious journalist.
    Looks like the journalist instances are being taken over by an anonymous admin.

    Centralised control by anonymous people. That's what MicroblogFedi and journalism are all about. </s>

  11. @damemagazine @parkermolloy Adding so more people see this

    This flagship employing the Trump shrink, is the same that helped sell the US on the with aluminum tubes lies, while sitting on the treasonous domestic mass spying story.
