I'm doing a serious newsletter subscriber push to reach 100 monthly paying subscribers by the end of March 2026. I'm a transgender journalist and your support would mean the world at a time when my rights as a transgender woman are under attack. If trans care comes to an end, I have no Plan B because I can't afford to leave the country.

This week's comic: "Polarization" is a reality-obscuring weasel word

#media #journalism #authoritarianism

"Polarization"

IT'S A COMMON REFRAIN THESE DAYS.

NATTERING NOGGINS HOSTS:

THE PROBLEM AS I SEE IT IS THAT AMERICA HAS BECOME TOO POLARIZED.

YES, IT'S SO SAD.

BUT THE TERM "POLARIZATION" CAN BE A FORM OF BOTH-SIDESING THAT OBSCURES SPECIFICS.

ARMED EXTREMIST: I'M HERE TO STOP THE TRANSGENDERS FROM DESTROYING THE COUNTRY.

TRANSGENDER PERSON: I PREFER NOT TO DIE, AND SOMETIMES SHARE THIS OPINION!

WHEN A MOVEMENT BECOMES EXTREMIST, DO WE REALLY WANT TO SEE THE OPPOSITION AS PART OF THE PROBLEM?

MAN: ANYONE WHO HELPS A 10 YEAR-OLD RAPE VICTIM GET AN ABORTION SHOULD GO TO JAIL!

WOMAN: THAT'S BARBARIC AND I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO FIGHT IT.

POLARIZATION ALERT

WOULD THIS BE BETTER?

MAN IN MILITARY GEAR: YOU WILL DO AS I SAY, SUBHUMAN!

LATINO MAN: I WILL POLITELY ACQUIESCE!

HOW NICE! NO MORE POLARIZATION! — "Polarization" IT'S A COMMON REFRAIN THESE DAYS. NATTERING NOGGINS HOSTS: THE PROBLEM AS I SEE IT IS THAT AMERICA HAS BECOME TOO POLARIZED. YES, IT'S SO SAD.

#MustRead: "Stronger #communities could be built on traditional #socialmedia platforms, too. But those have proven themselves to be unreliable partners: remember that referrals are down, links are being suppressed, and trusting a tech company means letting tech happen to you, like an asteroid. #Openprotocols are permissionless; building on them means building real ownership, as long as the #protocols are built with #publishers in mind."

Kommentar: Die KI-Bilder im „heute journal” sind ein schwerer Tabubruch

Das „heute journal“ bebildert einen Nachrichtenfilm mit emotionalen, aber falschen Bildern. Das ist kein einfach entschuldbarer „Fehler“, meint Volker Briegleb.

Screenshots of two postings from Tilo Jung on Twitter:

Now the #Berlinale seems to actively silence critical questions at its press conferences. Moderator Jacqueline Lyanga just ignored me during the entire time of the event - for everyone else in the room to see!
This is getting ridiculous and unworthy for an institution.

Another press conference. Another unworthy job by moderator Jacqueline Lyanga who once again actively ignored my question.
She also did not defend a female reporter for being shouted down by an colleague after asking Channing Tatum about the open letter criticizing the Berlinale. — Screenshots of two postings from Tilo Jung on Twitter: Now the #Berlinale seems to actively silence critical questions at its press conferences.

After this scene the angry reporter gave me the middle finger.

Third press conference in a row in which I was ignored by the #Berlinale moderator despite every other journalist being able to ask questions.

>> Silencing at #Berlinale after reporter Kira Müller asks actor Channing Tatum today about the open letter by 100+ Hollywood artists criticizing the festival for "silence" on Gaza...

A German film critic hated the question. Tatum got confused. The moderator moved one. <<

Korrespondent der Deutschen Welle in der Türkei festgenommen

Ein regierungskritischer Post auf X - deswegen ist ein Journalist der Deutschen Welle in der Türkei festgenommen worden. Der deutsche Auslandssender reagiert entsetzt und spricht von haltlosen Vorwürfen.
