#mediamatters — Public Fediverse posts

$4 gas. Cancer air drifting past schools. A trans MSP now representing the woman who spent a fortune trying to erase her. Three stories, one week, one body — yours. We tell what others won't. Click our advertisers. It's what keeps the goddamn lights on and the hawthorn coming back.

Is it illegal to not buy #ads on X? Experts explain the FTC’s bizarre #ad fight.

After a judge warned that the Federal Trade Commission's probe into #MediaMatters for America ( #MMFA ) should alarm "all Americans"—viewing it as a likely government #retaliation intended to silence critical #reporting from a #political foe—the #FTC this week appealed a preliminary injunction blocking the investigation.

I am saddened to learn that #YES! Media is closing operations next month, ending 30 years of inspiring people to build a more just, #sustainable, and #compassionate world with "rigorous reporting on the positive ways communities are responding to social problems and insightful commentary that sparks constructive discourse". They will be missed.

Mainstream #advertisers pulled campaigns from #Twitter after blatant #NeoNazi support came to light in a #MediaMatters post . #MelonHusk vowed revenge for being exposed as a #WhiteSupremacist encouraging cretin and sued the leftist #FactChecking & counter #RWNJ spin org in multiple countries.

In what the now broke leftist spin debunking website decries in a #countersuit as 'libel tourism' , Media Matters is counter suing the world's richest nepo nazi #Magat and self proclaimed #FreeSpeechAbsolutist .

As World Saw Hottest Year on Record, Corporate News Cut Coverage

"We need more climate journalism, not less," said one Media Matters for America writer.

Jessica Corbett
Mar 14, 2024

"Last year featured not only what scientists worldwide confirmed was the hottest year in human history but also a 25% drop in corporate broadcast networks' coverage of the fossil fuel-driven climate emergency, according to an analysis released Thursday.

"#MediaMatters for America, which has long tracked television networks' climate coverage, reviewed transcripts and video databases for ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox Broadcasting Co. The watchdog found that in 2023, despite the worsening global crisis, the networks collectively had just 1,032 minutes of coverage, down from 1,374 minutes in 2022 and 1,316 minutes in 2021.

"That amounts to less than 1% of all corporate broadcast coverage aired last year, notes the analysis authored by Media Matters senior writer Evlondo Cooper with contributions from Allison Fisher, director of the group's climate and energy program."

Angelo Carusone, president of #MediaMatters, said in a statement, “This is a #FrivolousLawsuit meant to bully #X’s critics into silence.” He added that his org “stands behind its #reporting & looks forward to winning in court.”

On Mon night, #KenPaxton, the #Texas AG (recently nearly impeached), also announced that his office would open an investigation into #mmfa for “potential fraudulent activity.”
