Anyone able to download & seed this? I’d like to download & help seed when I’m able to get to my PC.
It’s not a torrent, daily motion is like a youtube or vimeo competitor. There’s torrents of it too though, but I dunno what public trackers are good these days.
Journalism has become spineless
Not sure what the private media/journalism ownership is here, one of the many things I keep meaning to inform myself about. Obviously the BBC is meant to be an independent, unbiased source of information. In Canada the CBC fulfills the same niche. Neither are safe from outside pressure, or lazy reporting.
The vast majority of private journalism media in Canada is owned by Canadian media holding conglomerate Postmedia(bit too on the nose if you ask me). It’s in turn 66% owned by American Media Conglomerate Chatham Asset Management. It’s a bit of a piss take, as media in Canada is meant to be majority Canadian ownership. But there it is.Excellent comment. I try to keep up with who owns what too, but it’s kinda like keeping track of food brands. There only so many owners, but the huge amount of brands (news sources) can make it difficult.
It’s also a very real problem, especially in rural areas of Canada, and small communities. Small papers are being bought up en masse, and replaced by generic tat “news” with little if any relevance to the communities, and instruction about what is acceptable for print filtering down ultimately from Chatham Assets, which is owned by Anthony Melchiorre, and is closely associated with the GOP. Ergo a Republican vehicle for disseminating approved information. This situation, where local governments of small communities and rural areas that in the past would have a local paper, now are using Meta products and Twitter to communicate with residents and kinda don’t have much in the way of options to change that.
It’s not a great situation. And I think we’ll see that like with food and alcohol, a very small group of almost entirely American companies owns basically everything if you follow the shells to the top.
They expect my pedons to check beyond the first layer
And it fucking works

Where did you get that idea ?
The BBC is state apparatus.
In a properly functioning Democratic society, a government funded but independent media corps with a mandate for impartiality and ethical journalism, which doesn’t feel limited by potential repercussions for reporting unapproved information, is a really healthy, effective and important thing. I’m not saying that the UK is a properly functioning (Democratic) Constitutional Monarchy. One might argue that those words automatically dictate a lack of proper function and health. That’s not what I’m saying, or what we’re talking about. I bring it up to curb strawman whataboutist diversion.
What I am saying is that if a “state apparatus” like the BBC (/CBC) is set up properly, and isn’t being actively subverted, it is an important part of maintaining a healthy and functional democracy. And not automatically a right-thought, public control, propaganda machine.Not directly, although the ruling party can always threaten to strip their public funding. If anything, maybe it should go to the state (and I mean the state, not the government, the state is above the government) and be protected by the Crown, if anything.
Should be above the state 😅, the BBC is generally more useful than the crown.
Crown the BBC as Emperor
Israel lobby is a security risk but here we be
It has been taken down because the kid involved is the son of a Hamas official, so there’s questions surrounding the authenticity and accuracy of the reporting. He’s not an ordinary Palestinian.
By that logic, Israel’s a fascist ethnostate committing genocide, so we shouldn’t show their reporting because “there’s questions around the authenticity and accuracy of their reporting”.
Nahh mate… Let me tell you about beheaded Jewish babies🤡
That’s antisemitic * ^(i was wanting to link to a really relevant joke but couldn’t find it 😓,so just linked the comedian, he has a lot of relevant material)
Yeah, that’s what they do on a news report.
There’s no documentaries claiming to give an unbiased viewpoint from an ordinary Israeli though.
