“you could simply describe Trump as a never-ending poop cruise, guaranteed to create new content daily. And I don’t know how Licht can solve that systemic problem, with or without Trump.”

I have ideas in the next post…

Imagine a network that filled those no-breaking-news hours with mind-blowing civic education and systems-level narratives. Examples: What @maddow did with #Ultra. @doctorow dissections of the #enshittification of big tech and media. @HC_Richardson-style historical parallels…
Explaining how fascism works and why it works, the Tolerance Paradox, etc. Blowing the minds of white suburban people (like me!) with the history of redlining and stories like this…
Spotlighting the top OSINT researchers like @jimstewartson who battle in obscurity against powerful people and psyop narratives crafted by nation-states…
Interviewing regular people in Kyiv- who get on tech design spec conference calls just hours after air raid sirens and then work on drone design on weekends (they inspire me daily!)…
… setting up a debate between @StephanieKelton and Lawrence Summers about #MMT and the #ScarcityMyth … a deep-dive on #economic factors like oligopoly-induced inflation…
👆 Dear #CNN, BREAKING NEWS is a sugar rush. Explaining the systems-level narratives that explain the modern world, and that build our civic muscle, would be a worthy project for these 24-hour “news” channels. ffs help us save #democracy, ok? …
The BREAKING NEWS model was perfect for the first Iraq War. That was 30 years ago. It’s time to evolve. It’s so small-minded to think of just cable news as the offering. Think also about the *promise* of Facebook and Twitter, how they spoiled the opportunity, and what is possible
The #SAGAFTRAstrike could be a catalyst toward creator-collective production. Applied to entertainment 👇and also per above then to news. 👆
