With the recent NYT scandal, what are some other examples of the NYT or similarly "prestigious" news institutions making stuff up or otherwise doing propaganda? (hexbear.net)
 

Been seeing a lot of libs say they can't trust the NYT and mainstream news any more but I'm sure there's plenty of reasons to not trust them already. Recent or historical examples

My IRL friend's first Youtube video. He has a lot more cool stuff coming - a series on critical thinking, stuff on propaganda (ie how Reddit is full of it) and more. Any support you show is hugely appreciated.

Obviously most apps are stealing your data but people's reactions to Temu are literally insane. They have a thing where they'll literally paypal you £20-£40 to refer other users, I was 1 referral away and 2 friends wouldn't download it because it's Chinese. Another two friends said that people they know had money stolen by it... like, legality and possibility aside yes, I'm sure Pinduoduo, one of the BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE WORLD needs to steal your last tenner
