When did a force for good last win enough for a little cheer π»π₯?

Cheer up. You missed one π
In the US. We all did.

Implications for the UK?

Press owners, corrupt editors, bent politicians can be beaten?

If they don't kill us first!

The victory of CNN over Fox News is Tectonic, like a super nova is the warm embers of a fire.
Impossible
Couldn't happen
Big Bang Event
In the UK we know CNN from their brand not success.
Stateside they WERE dead.
Fox didn't see it coming.
But CNN were even more surprised.

Most Brits regard Fox News as nasty, dangerous or both. Few of us know it HAS 2x share of its rivals CNN & MSNBC
HAD

Interesting but a UK link pls?

Apply it?
YES!

If you care about politics, corruption, truth, climate change, hedge funds, socialism, capitalism etc etc. Care first about the revolving Press Politics Cabal.
The quality of memes on this subject suggests niche interest.
That must change. There is no greater force for evil.

Yes, a Thatcher quote! She was Conservative, smart, ruthless and strategic. Unlike the aliens in Cabinet
Satire and Quote. Both worth reading β¬
Thatcher enabled Murdoch, devastated the press unions, attacked BBC.
No better witness to Johnson's Broken media than her contempt.

It's 'possible' that the unreported buy out of the UK Press by shady offshore unaccountable tax exiles is a good thing.
π€
You'd better hope. TV has a mechanism to prevent wholesale interference and manipulation by owners.
The Press? β
Do you recall phone hacking?

If owners are a force for good, they took a long holiday.
For 10 years in the 2000s the 75% proxy press was hacking into mobile phones for gossip
Ending with the mother of a missing daughter learning she'd died reading the paper.
After they deleted her voicemail!
Good? πΏ

The Press/Politics Cabal prevents reform and reporting.
Believe it or not:
β¬ List: attempts at press reform
β Successses.
Phone hacking was a chance for reset. The Leveson report. It looked in 2 parts at Press corruption
& it won the only victory for us citizens in 356 years

You'll hear Leveson criticised. Because he uncovered massive corruption, showed our lack of Free Press, unmasked political advertising posing as Editorial of which 75% favours one party
The first part of his two reports had a long list of chan(r)ges

Despite public support & independent integrity, 'inexplicably' 75% of the press came out against.
MPs claimed free speech was at risk
In the end we got one tiny change
If a paper fabricates a story about you, either
1. they agree to arbitration
or
2. pay your costs
Reasonable?

The #proxypress said;
END OF THE WORLD (& free speech).
YOUR rights, that kick in only for lies & only when the paper won't arbitrate, kill free speech.
But if YOU have no way to sue an unaccountable corporate machine. Then free speech is safe.
Convinced?
Your new rights. Safe?

Part 2 of the Leveson enquiry was killed in 2017 by no lesser of a straight shooter than our Health Secretary Matt Hancock
He claimed the press had cleaned up and enquiry wasn't needed π€£
CANCELLED
You now know Hancock. How evidential are his claims?

I don't claim expertise in constitutional arrangements for the UK.
Did I miss how this planned up levelling up helps you level up?
Does it make corruption of Democracy less likely?
Just in case, and I'm sure no one intends harm, we might wish to prioritise a safeguard or 2.

Based on recent events essential citizen rights are not secure in the UK unlike...every other democracy.
If the advantage of an unwritten constitution is removal of my rights, for whom is the advantage?
=> write up our rights, secured by a super majority.

Do you remember 2 years ago I started this thread talking about CNN.
If you're me, of the 5 that made it this far 1 will remember, so don't be offended if you forgot π
Constitutions aside. What can YOU do about YOUR rights before YOU lose them?

There's one other place on the planet that understands the weaponisation and bastardisation of that word.
They've been living with #proxy media longer than us.
Some might have said they were more entrenched, polarised, unable to find a way to the light.
Corrupted.
Except not.

CNN won despite huge money against.
An eyes open historic number of citizens saw a proxy media working against their interests.
And YOU?
You can do it too.
Don't buy the #proxypress
Don't share it
Educate those who share it to you.
You might really take back control if you do

Postscript 1.
Someone will claim the power of the UK press is marginal. Is their influence maligning not declining?
Historically, this was a pointless battle of opinion.
No one had any Proof.
Until, a random oddly niche weirdness went mainstream.β¬
