I would dearly love to agree. However: the workaround is elegant in it's simplicity, the aggressor state purchases media outlets in the target country.

By their nature they will be to some degree self-funding.

If done correctly, the person doing the purchasing can even get a seat in the House of Lords and thus contribute to writing the laws that will govern the target country for generations to come.

It also helps the person doing the purchasing become a household name, which is a soft-power of a separate sort.

I'm always slightly wary of using New Statesman as a source but in a pinch, they have a good summary of it. newstatesman.com/politics/medi

@skribe Conversely, the cost of printing, distribution, and storage puts up a barrier to spamming people on other continents with mass quantities of low value slop.

Just think through the logistics of a hostile Eurasian state sending a mass quantity of printed materials to Australia or North America.

Or, for that matter, a hostile North American state sending a mass quantity of printed materials to Europe or Asia.

You would either need:–

a) At least one printing press on each continent;
b) You could try shipping the magazines, but they'd be a month out of date when they arrive; or
c) You could try flying them overseas, but that would be very expensive very quickly.

That's before you worry about things like delivery drivers (or postage), and warehouses.

These are less of an issue for books than they are for newspapers or magazines.

And if a particular newspaper or magazine is known to be reliable, written by humans, researched offline, and the articles are not available online, then there's potentially value in people buying a physical copy.

#Media on täyttynyt jutuista ehdokkaiden rikostuomioista.

Mikä toki olennaista tietoa - harva varmaankaan tahtoisi antaa ääntään esim. pedofiilille tai eläinrääkkääjälle, kuten tässä tapauksessa, jossa #kokoomus ehdokas yrittää vielä eri nimellä esiintyen siirtää huomion tuomiostaan.

Sitä mietin, että voisiko joku media tehdä jutun, missä suhteessa ehdokkaissa on tuomittuja rikollisia, ja miten se suhde eroaa äänestäjiin.

Ovatko siinä mielessä kuva kansasta?

"Why the press is ramping up its acts of anticipatory obedience to the Trump regime ..."

"During the 2024 election, the American mainstream news media continued to practice its obsolete norms of “fairness,” “balance,” “objectivity,” and “neutrality.” Coverage remained steadfastly focused on “bothsidesism”...
