It's time to bring back the community and stop focusing on the individual. The system cannot control a community, and therefore, cannot stop one.

RE: https://eldritch.cafe/@ml/117382287839444903
The very first toot I saw when I woke up referenced a disabled person in the news and I knew folks were likely to see a lot of ableist framings about disabled people.
I think it's important to point out that disabled people can be ableist towards each other and towards themselves even because most of us were raised in ableist societies. It gets trained into us early. So even the way a disabled person speaks about disability and represents it to abled people around them can inadvertently perpetuate systemic ableism.
I write now because a lot of fresh media stories will be repeating these tropes, drilling them in. Be aware as you're reading or listening to such stories.
Common tropes are: "despite their disability", "never let their disability hold them back", "never complained"
If you're a journalist/blogger/vlogger, consult the Disability Style Guide as a start. The guide is available in English, Spanish, Italian, and Romanian so far. https://cronkite.asu.edu/ncdj/disability-language-style-guide #Ableism #Disability #Media

#Networks Suspend Pool Coverage of #Trump After White House Bans #CNN, #MSNOW & #Politico
The move was an escalation of Trump’s showdown with the White House #press corps after he moved to bar journalists from the 3 outlets.
Major #television networks agreed to suspend their pooled coverage of Trump after the White House refused to allow CNN to serve as a pool representative on Monday.

I’m so deeply offended & tired of the media framing 47’s unpopularity ONLY in terms of his impact on our finances.
YES, everything is way too expensive. (I live on Social Security & I’m aware!)
YES, the Billionaire Boyz and mega-corporations are screwing us silly & have been for a very long time.
BUT…50,000 non-criminals were detained last month, families were brutally separated, migrant kids are processed with no legal help, TPS immigrants will be returned to chaos, DREAMERS are in jeopardy, the U.S. is still killing boaters extra-judicially, we’re still at war, and #ClimateCrisis mitigation is a big, fat joke to 47 & pals.
Most of us live moral/ethical lives and stand at odds with this AMORAL administration. Don’t tell me I care most about prices when our collective values are violated every hour of every day!
From suspicious deaths and corporate racism to voting rights and cultural legacy, Black communities demand truth, accountability, and power.

Josh Ruebner of the #IMEU Policy Project welcomes historian #AssalRad to discuss her new book, #DontSayPalestine: How the #Media Manufactured Consent for Genocide.
"[A] powerful meditation on the role of the media in a democratic society and how the media not only failed to uphold its professional code of conduct when it came to reporting #Israel's genocide of #Palestinians in #Gaza, but actually enabled it."

📢 BREAKING 🚨 Australia's Top News website rankings for September came out yesterday. newscomau No1 (!) with 10.99m readers, ABC News No2 with 10.97m and 🥁 Guardian Australia is the 5th biggest news website in Australia. Thanks to the 7 million people who visited GdnAus in September 🙏
Big news is newscomau overtaking ABC for the No1 position in September, for the first time since November last year. Otherwise No3-7 all held the same rank as last month. Only 3 sites in the Top10 gained audience in September – newscomau, GdnAus and Yahoo. SBS dropped -646k down to 10th, helping BBC and Yahoo shift up to No8 and 9, respectively.
The Age surprisingly dropped 3 places to No14, losing almost -298k audience. They haven't been lower than No11 in the rankings for at least 8 years. Recently they've been around No11, but not long ago they'd been firmly in the Top10 all the time. I had to scroll back to my September 2018 rankings post* for the last time The Age dropped out of the Top10. *There were a few months in that time where I only had a Top10 to share rather than a Top20.
Herald Sun also dropped 3 places to No18. Surprisingly in an AFL Grand Final month, both The Age (-298k) and Herald Sun (-188k) lost audience, while the AFL (classed as a news website!) had a huge audience gain of +597k. AFR dropped to No20 after losing -409k audience, while Courier Mail returned to Top20 for the first time since May.
Another record to mark – this is the first time in history that Guardian Australia has been ranked No5 or higher for 14 consecutive months Until this record run, we almost always held the No6 or 7 spot in the rankings.
It's been quite a while (April) since I last shared the Top20 Australian News website rankings here. So I'll link to that post in comments

Typical how many if not most news orgs phrase the killing of UnitedHleathcare A-hole Brian Thompson like a sad thing happened to an innocent "father of 2"
Seriously, Luigi did not kill him because he was such a great dad..
No wonder less and less people read this crap anymore

i usually unfollow with nary a peep, but they are a major brazilian news source on the #fediverse. when it comes to #journalism and #news sources, it’s our duty to call that shit out.
