Jimmy Wales said we have a fake news problem and proposed a dramatically more extreme alternative

wikitribune

actually having the public edit articles

they praised him for the idea

he got funding for the idea

To me this is circumstantial evidence that the media is vindictive

that they attack musk because he was disrespectful to them

Yeah. That sounds about right.

it'll never work, we need to get rid of wikipedia... does anyone even use that anymore?

It's also because they attacked Elon Musk to begin with, and he's literally going cartoon villain against them.

The media flips out because they are scared shitless that people are NOT on their side

And they know it

The thing is, Elon Musk puts his mind to an idea and it happens. Reminder that he sent a car into space unapologetically.

^ "I sent a car into space. Fuck off"

I think theyre probably more worried that someone takes a conservative or even centre conservative slant on it

We live in a time where trust in media is lower than trust in our government.

(whoever controls it)

but knife media already rates and ranks stories... I dont see any outcry over it

they break it down really well too.. like exactly which bits are unnecessary and why with a percentage score at the end

problem is, when they cut out all the slant etc, it doesnt really make me want to read the story any more 😛

but then Im pulled in by their "top 10 skewed headlines of the week" 😛

knife has a troubled history becuase they are part of NXIVM

Wow. I really need to do more news research

google says thats a sex cult

"multi level marketing" ... isnt that marketing speak for pyramid scam?

Yes.

Chloe from smallville says it is not a sex cult (probably)

from what I know of the knife it seems fine

but being involved in nxivm makes it questionable

damn thats a shame

If they do good or proper work, I guess their ties are forgivable

whats the history though? some kind of initial financing?

it definitely puts their trustworthiness into question

Reactor should make legit content

apart from the troll content

He seems like a interesting lad

so uh

did Tim actually make the livestream channel

it might put their trustworthiness into question - but what is the history?

I trust Tim, but all he's said so far is "they have a history with NXIVM"
