Glenn Greenwald says corporate journalists are losing their minds over Elon Musk calling out major corporations for stifling free speech because they are in bed with the very corporations they claim to scrutinize.
Greenwald explains that we are at a crossroads where journalism, once a watchdog of establishment power, is now shackled by corporate advertisers.
"What went wrong here is not what Elon Musk said. It's so revealing that so many journalists are aghast that anyone would dare tell Disney and major corporations to go fuck yourself when they're trying to limit, censor, and control the flow of political content.
If you aren't willing to say that to corporations who are trying to limit what you can say, don't bother calling yourself a journalist.
We need way more journalists willing to say, go fuck yourself to people who try and limit what they say.
The problem is, is that the people who are hired by these major media corporations, and who thrive in them and succeed in them are people who have the opposite instinct.
Their instinct is to assuage and serve and placate establishment power, not to defy it. Even though the purpose of journalism is to be adversarial to establishment power.
Once journalism started getting corporatized no longer owned by families dedicated to journalism or local communities but by major corporations that have all kinds of other interests besides their media division. And, what kind of attributes are awarded at major corporations?
People who avoid controversy who avoid conflict, who avoid displeasing and angering powerful people. That's the corporate ethos, and the corporatization of media meant that that kind of attribute was imported into journalism.
And that's why almost no one who works for large media corporations or the media corporations themselves has the courage to say this. They're shocked. They think it's a sign that he's unhinged when in reality, it's just a sign of how cowardly and craven they are."
A thousand skies
Are there a thousand skies
Or is it one whole big sky?
Or is it countless?
Does planets have their own azure?
Have their own fluffy clouds?
Like the earth does?
I’ve never been to another planet
Before….
So I don’t know…
I don’t know if a thousand skies
Exist….
If they’re real,
I’d fly away, miles away
To somewhere in
thousand skies….
I go high
Up higher…..
And I might not want to land
My feet on the ground….
I could live in thousand skies….
With clouds so pink and purple….
Birds soarin to the sun and moon….
I could talk to angels who think like me
It’s a heaven I’ve never been to….
Can you imagine a thousand skies?
Can they be like your home?
I would of stay, and not be afraid to tumble…
If I love a thousand skies
Skies so blue
I wouldn’t be afraid to
Fall off, tip over and crash down
I’d spread my arms wide
And just soar ahead…
Either with or without wings…
I could be a woman who flies in
Thousand skies….🌌💕🫶🏾©️Kai C. 12-1-23
