They tried. Oh, did the media try.

It's not "out-of-touchness" though.

It's that the establishment media (and the establishment as a whole for that matter) explicitly serve the interests of the wealthiest few.

No war but class war.

The out-of-touch part is that every time they try to smear him they just make people like him more.

They also think they can maintain control of the narrative. Nope.

Now that you mention it, that is true. Not what they meant, but true.

This quote boils my blood:

He favors rent freezes that could restrict housing supply

Did they really? If you look up his name via a search engine and grab results dating a month back and beyond, there's plenty of articles giving non-negative spotlights of him. If the establishment media were all trying to unanimously sabotage him, all they'd have to do is the opposite - stop reporting on him, given how politics is just money + media competition.

If you actually read the article, they cite specific publications: NYTimes, Atlantic, New Yorker, NYPost, WSJ, etc.

If you want to write a counter article about your google search, go for it.

Fediverse vs Disinformation

1508 readers
78 users here now

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
