News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court strikes down Hawaii law requiring gun owners to get explicit consent before carrying a gun onto restaurants and stores
1·23 days agoI don’t think it realy actually has much to do with guns. It’s about privacy. Something the Supreme Court has been trying to murder for the last 50 years.
Don’t get me wrong, I do see the gun owners arguments here. What’s wrong with putting up a sign? That’s a legitimate point. But the law itself and the Supreme Court challenge brings it into a different Realm. If the owner of a private domicile or business wants it to be different, they want to have individual decision making on a case-by-case basis, why shouldn’t they? It’s their private home or business and they can do what they want shouldn’t they?

News@lemmy.world•Scott Pelley says Bari Weiss wanted 60 Minutes to say Renee Good was ‘driving toward officer’
5·1 month agoThe Gulf War was before Fox was founded. However there absolutely was glee in its coverage by American media.
I strongly deny your assertion that the way the so called crack epidemic was reported on came entirely from the alphabet agencies. I suggest you do a little bit more reading about that, because the way the media in particularly legacy media covered, it was psychotically racist. Look no further than the myriad of new york times editorials about so called crack babies overrunning our hospitals. Now, corporate media doesn’t want you to remember how they reported on it, just like they don’t want you to remember that when people did start reporting on the cia’s complicity it was the ny times and the LA Times in particular who led the attacks on the reporters.
Major media outlets are controlled by corporations, they often are major corporations. This is an indisputable fact. One that absolutely colours, how all media is covered in our nation. It has always been thus. Though please note I never said none of it was accurate. I said it was incredibly biased toward corporate interests. Something nobody could argue against while maintaining any shred of reasonableness.

News@lemmy.world•Scott Pelley says Bari Weiss wanted 60 Minutes to say Renee Good was ‘driving toward officer’
5·1 month agoSo when even non right wing news was hyping the lead up to the Iraq War that was accuracy? The utter glee with which they covered the gulf war? The New York Times, among others, basically dripping with racist lies about the “crack epidemic”? Etc…
Seems to me that what you call accurate is better described as the corporate interpretation of the news. Accuracy has never been the chief concern.
