Eric Berger at The Guardian:

Political groups on the right and left are using fake news websites designed to look like reliable sources of information to fill the void left by the demise of local newspapers, raising fears of the impact that they might have during America’s bitterly fought 2024 election. Some media experts are concerned that the so-called pink slime websites, often funded domestically, could prove at least as harmful to political discourse and voters’ faith in media and democracy as foreign disinformation efforts in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. According to a recent report from NewsGuard, a company that aims to counter misinformation by studying and rating news websites, the websites are so prolific that: “The odds are now better than 50-50 that if you see a news website purporting to cover local news, it’s fake.” NewsGuard estimates that there are a staggering 1,265 such fake local news websites in the US – 4% more than the websites of 1,213 daily newspapers left operating in the country.

“Actors on both sides of the political spectrum” feel “that what they are doing isn’t bad because all media is really biased against their side or that that they know actors on the other side are using these tactics and so they feel they need to,” said Matt Skibinski, general manager of NewsGuard, which determined that such sites now outnumber legitimate local news organizations. “It’s definitely contributed to partisanship and the erosion of trust in media; it’s also a symptom of those things.” Pink slime websites, named after a meat byproduct, started at least as early as 2004 when Brian Timpone, a former television reporter who described himself as a “biased guy” and a Republican, started funding websites featuring names of cities, towns and regions like the Philly Leader and the South Alabama Times. Timpone’s company, Metric Media, now operates more than 1,000 such websites and his private equity company receives funding from conservative political action committees, according to NewsGuard.

[...]

The left has also created websites designed to look like legitimate news organizations but actually shaped by Democratic supporters. The liberal Courier Newsroom network operates websites in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Michigan and Nevada, among other states, that like the conservative pink slime sites, have innocuous sounding names like the Copper Courier and Up North News. The Courier has runs stories like “Gov Ducey Is Now the Most Unpopular Governor in America,” referring to Doug Ducy, the former Republican Arizona governor. “In contrast, coverage of Democrats, including US President Joe Biden, Democratic Arizona Gov Katie Hobbs, and US Sen Mark Kelly of Arizona, is nearly always laudatory,” NewsGuard stated in a report about Courier coverage.

Democratic strategist Tara McGowan founded the Courier Newsroom and has received funding from liberal donors like Reid Hoffman and George Soros and groups associated with political action committees, according to NewsGuard. “There are pink slime operations on both the right and the left. To me, the key is disclosure and transparency about ownership,” said Franklin. While both the left and the right have invested in the pink slime websites, there are differences in the owners’ approaches, according to Skibinski. The right-wing networks have created more sites “that are probably getting less attention per site, and on the left, there is a smaller number of sites, but they are more strategic about getting attention to those sites on Facebook and elsewhere”, Skibinski said. “I don’t know that we can quantify whether one is more impactful than the other.”

[...] Republican lawmakers and leaders of the conservative news sites the Daily Wire and the Federalist have also filed a lawsuit and launched investigations accusing NewsGuard of helping the federal government censor right-leaning media. The defense department hired the company strictly to counter “disinformation efforts by Russian, Chinese and Iranian government-linked operations targeting Americans and our allies”, Gordon Crovitz, the former Wall Street Journal publisher who co-founded NewsGuard, told the Hill in response to a House oversight committee investigation. “We look forward to clarifying the misunderstanding by the committee about our work for the Defense Department.” To counter the flood of misinformation, social media companies must take a more active role in monitoring such content, according to Franklin and Skibinski.

A deluge of “pink slime” websites on both sides of the political spectrum, mostly on the right, that purport to look like real news sites are cropping up to shape political opinion.

Arriving in the small town of Fallwell, Massachusetts to claim her inheritance, Elvira receives a less than enthusiastic reception from the conservative locals – amongst them, her sinister uncle Vincent, who, unbeknownst to Elvira, is in fact an evil warlock secretly scheming to steal the old family spellbook for his own nefarious ends…

The collapse of local journalism has been “terrible for democracy,” said Zeeshan Aleem, and it’s even worse now that the void is being filled by partisan propaganda labeled as news. The 1,213 local daily newspapers left in the U.S. are now outnumbered by the estimated 1,260 sites that are partisan mouthpieces deceptively presented as independent news outlets. Most of these sites are published by conservative entrepreneur Brian Timpone’s company, Metric Media, under such “generic-sounding” names such as the Illinois Valley Times and North Pocono News.

They’re designed to look like conventional news outlets, but combine a bit of “quasi-journalistic newsgathering” with agenda-driven stories from political operatives and public relations firms lauding Republican public officials or local corporations. Some are even produced in Russia. Progressive organizations have gotten into the same game, though they are far outnumbered. Journalism, of course, is never 100 percent free of ideological influence. But most Americans do not have the digital media literacy to differentiate between faux news and news sites that strive for accuracy and fairness. The replacement of local news by propaganda is happening “at the worst possible moment for democracy.”

THE WEEK JUNE 28, 2024

Equally concerning is Sinclair Broadcasting.  Another source of politically conservative ideology inserted into local news network affiliates. Very insidious propaganda.  Look for it on your CBS channels.

Timpon wants Manpons... nothing strange about this, is there?🤔

[dsudis]

I'm currently reading Barbara Hanawalt's The Ties That Bound: Peasant Families in Medieval England, which is heavily focused on the 1300s-1400s, so prime Hob territory, and this observation about Hob and banditry pinged a thing in my brain. From the end of the chapter "Standards of Living":

The period following the Black Death [post 1350, the period Hob was born into] and the new opportunities that the decreased population afforded the peasants encouraged greater interest in material comforts. ... It also ultimately created greater divisions in the peasant community, for some of the peasants did very well and became yeomen while some of the less successful peasants slipped in their standard of living. The fifteenth century may be seen as one of greater consumerism, but not all benefited equally. The material environment was not a benign one, but rather one that required aggressive pursuit of a living. Success depended partly on a person's inheritance, on the other competitors, on the family economic strategies, and on luck. The wheel of fortune was a common motif for church wall paintings. In the pursuit of a living both cooperation and competition were inevitable. ...

While neighborliness was essential, the tensions of securing a living could easily lead to serious fights and criminal acts. Almost 30 percent of [crimes] were felonies between people living in the same village. ... Alice Timpon of Harrowen came into the highway opposite Isabel Bernard's house and claimed as hers a basket that was lying in the street. William Bernard came out of the house and in the ensuing quarrel over the basket he hit and finally strangled her. Competition with neighbors for food and goods reinforced the family as a unit of economic activity and as allies in an aggressive world.

And Hanawalt's point, ultimately, is that this competition took place especially between, not individuals, but families, which comprised an economic unit of their own. That was the countervailing force--you might be ruthless toward others, but it was all for the benefit of your family, toward whom you would show gentleness and affection, and with whom you shared the benefits of your labor, buying clothes and household furnishings to keep them in comfort.

Unless you had no family, because they all died--and could have no family, no matter how you managed to succeed in life, because you are immortal and dare not settle down. Then there is no countervailing force against that selfish drive to improve your own situation.

Then you end up as Hob Gadling, c.1389-1489.

"Nice is Different than Good" Character Interpretation: Hob Gadling as Kind of a Bastard

Ok, slightly controversial take on Hob Gadling Is Kind of a Bastard that I've been toying with. It runs counter to some wonderful let me be clear, amazing fanon I've seen in some fics, so this is much more me going, "Hey, here's a way to do it different that might work better in different stories fan writers might want to tell," and not to invalidate other takes or even to put forth that I think this is necessarily true of Hob in a meta sense, it's just shining a light on the text from a different direction, y'know?

Hob as Neutral Evil (credit to Winter on the big dreamling server for this concept!)

I'm obsessed with the idea that Hob is neutral evil on ye olde D&D alignment chart because it makes so much sense if the axis for evil is primarily based on selfishness.

Primary evidence? How casually he talks in 1489 about having done a bit of soldiering and banditry. Those jobs are about killing people. Maybe not all the time as a bandit, ideally, but even then it's about taking their stuff. There is absolutely zero remorse in Hob's tone about being a soldier and a bandit just because he's at his most wide-eyed innocent and has since picked up a trade.

Hob as Politically Conservative until at least 1789 but possibly until 1989

Hob as far as I can tell is a model of the white male middle class existence in England throughout what we define as more or less the "modern era". As far as I can tell, there's no indication at any point prior to 1789 that Hob rocked the boat or was at all out of step with the Powers That Be.

In general, I kind of see Hob as always just this side of the "wrong side of history" and I personally find it more interesting when that's where we find him. And not in a grand sense but in a "middle of the road" sense of just going along with the day to day accepted levels of harm and evil caused by societal momentum. Generally speaking, only a very small percentage of the population takes active part in moving the needle towards good at any given time on a variety causes, and I tend to see Hob is generally speaking outside of all those minorities of do-gooders, except when it comes to taking care of his immediate friends and family. Which is a pretty average place to be.

Indeed, when it comes to the Wat Tyler rebellion, it's my personal headcanon that Hob was more likely on the side of the soldiers putting DOWN the rebellion on behalf of the local lords, and unlikely to have been interested in or part of the cause of greater equality in England. The fact he's a soldier drinking with his mates openly in a tavern when people around him are talking about Wat Tyler and he's blithely ignoring the discussion is where I get that sense.

Indeed, I believe (though I don't know where to cite it, even in the English Civil Wars, Hob was canonically on the side of the monarchy. So jot that down as Hob being pro-monarchy.

While, yes, I believe post 1789 he learned to be less of a piece of shit about taking active part if horrific industrial-level cruelty, I don't see evidence he became a superhero after that. The one bit of "on the page"altruism we see from him is him flipping a coin to Lushing Lou and telling an obvious alcoholic to go get a drink so she stops pestering his friend by offering herself to him as a prostitute, something Hob seems entirely comfortable with.

In 1989 when Hob gets out of his sleek convertible, dressed like a stock trader, he uses the Financial Times to shield himself from the rain, a periodical that apparently was just lying around in his car. As tempting as it would be to say it's to somehow show off to Dream, he has no reason to believe Dream would come back to his car so more likely, it's just something for himself.

All of these put together show me on the page that Hob stayed pretty fixated on making money even after deciding and coming to regret being part of the "shipping business".

And to be clear, we don't actually know when Hob quit the shipping business. Personally, I like to think he did it right after Dream asked, but that's a romantic take and deliberately so. Hob having the opinion by 1889 that slavery is wrong is not necessarily a progressive take by then. Regardless, even if in 1789 he learned it was wrong, that still puts him just slightly ahead of the curve, philosophically speaking.

If we pull in comic canon we do know Hob was ahead of the curve on feminism by 1912 in Hob's Leviathan but again, women would get the right to vote by 1918/1928 in England after the issue had been discussed for at least a century (keep in mind, male Catholics couldn't vote in England until the early 1800s) so again this puts him as palatable to modern readers but not necessary terribly ahead of the curve.

Now, let me also be clear, where Hob is at in 2022 is anyone's guess. Personally I think Dream not showing up in 1989 was a second wakeup call for Hob. If he'd drifted back towards selfish hedonism by 1989, as his whole vibe suggests, he might very well have looked in the mirror and thought, "What if this is why my stranger stayed away?"

We know he becomes a teacher. That probably would go a long way towards changing his politics. We know he's a history teacher, so now he's got the long view. He's spending time in academia, which tends to lean left. My point is, Hob in 2022 is anyone guess and I think there's a lot of evidence and word of god evidence that he's become a Good Person by then, but I also think it's the 1989 meeting that jumpstarted him being Good and not just Nice. Because I do think Hob throughout all these periods of being morally a bastard was always good to the people close to him in his life. I think he was a good friend and a good husband and would have been a good friend to Dream had he allowed it. And that's what I enjoy most, that he could be both of those things, Nice and Not Good.

Hob as non-religious

I admit, this one is very near and dear to my heart for personal reasons of identifying as an atheist when it comes to Christianity and being a lifelong skeptic of Catholicism for the brief time I was technically a member of that organization (all of which while I was a minor). To be clear there is just as much evidence to say Hob is any number of religious alignments as there is that he has none. It's a totally personal choice by any author, I'm just outlining my evidence for why I write him as effectively an atheist.

The Black Death is considered the period that broke the spine of the Catholic church as a monolith in Europe. All the good priests who did their duty taking care of people and giving last rites died leaving only the ones who fled or were young, with tons of money given to the church because of all the rampant death.

Hob would have been born into an era that was particularly rife with both fanaticism and anti-church sentiment. There was a lot of evidence abounding that being a good Christian just got you killed.

Given Hob is a soldier drinking with his mates 1389, I don't see much evidence of him being particularly devout there. No less so in 1489, by the way. Not saying there's evidence against it, just that there's no evidence for it and indeed, societally there's justification for him to not be devout given the century he was born.

1589 I'd say we've got some evidence Hob isn't devout: he seems unperturbed by King Henry's ransacking of the monasteries. Politically speaking, if Hob is a New Man, he might have even benefited from that ransacking personally. In my personal view, Hob is an opportunist and most likely converted to Church of England at the earliest possible opportunity to curry favor with the Powers that Be. I don't personally see him as someone who would bother pretending to be Protestant while continuing to practice Catholicism, because:

Why would Hob bother to be faithful at all? He can't die. The #1 reason to be devout is to avoid Hell or get into Heaven. Hob has clearly chosen the secular world as the only Heaven he cares about. He says that his current life is what, "He once thought Heaven would be like" and it's a very secular vision of good food and safe streets. He does not appear to be pining at all for any spiritual version of Heaven and indeed, speaks of Heaven as a dream only in the past tense.

Personally, by 1689, I think Hob has plenty of reasons to hate God after what he's suffered and the fact he's still not interested in dying to me seems a pretty strong indication that he does not hold romantic views of the afterlife.

Finally, for 1789 to the present, there was absolutely a class of gentleman who were progress minded, obsessed with technology and the Age of Reason. Many American Founding Fathers were self-proclaimed deists, basically a safe form of atheism that said eh, yes God exists and is out there and we owe him some deference, but he doesn't impact day to day life and we can safely ignore him most of the time. Personally, and this is pure headcanon, I put Hob in that group cheerfully ignoring religion and never looking back because he's more interested in the new technologies of the day and not the crusty old church.

We also know, canonically, that at least in 1789, Hob does not consider himself Jewish.

And of course, we can't forget: Hob has evidence that the Christian cosmology is wrong, somehow, given his stranger and his own immortality.

Frankly, given that Hob appears on the page to be a hedonist with no fear of dying, it's interesting to speculate on what his moral boundaries would be at all coming from a world where Heaven and Hell were the primary means of moral social control. It is possible to speculate that Hob could have gone completely off the rails as far as worrying about his soul for a bit there, other than thinking he's already sold it, which could go either way as far as trying to redeem himself but again, he speaks casually of being a soldier and a bandit, so it doesn't sound like if he worried about his soul being sold already, he thought there was anything that could be done to redeem it.

Using tax documents and business filings, ProPublica traced the papers to a Chicago-based publishing network led by former TV reporter Brian Timpone. His enterprises, including Metric Media, are known among researchers for peddling misinformation and slanted coverage. The network has received money from right-wing super PACs funded by conservative billionaire Richard Uihlein, founder of the mammoth shipping supply company Uline.

Calabria: individuati e denunciati i presunti responsabili dell’incendio che nel mese scorso ha devastato una estesa area boscata

Calabria: individuati e denunciati i presunti responsabili dell’incendio che nel mese scorso ha devastato una estesa area boscata Oltre quaranta ettari di bosco della Presila andati a fuoco, danni ingenti a terreni agricoli, lavoro incessante per le squadre antincendio regionali, della protezione civile e dei Vigili del fuoco che - coadiuvati dai locali Carabinieri della Stazione di Petronà e del Nucleo forestale di Sersale, prontamente intervenuti - sono riusciti a domare le fiamme con il contributo di Canadair e concludere nelle successive ore le operazioni di spegnimento e bonifica, evitando danni ancora più estesi al territorio: è quanto accaduto lo scorso 13 aprile, sul confine dei comuni di Petronà e Mesoraca, tra le province di Catanzaro e Crotone, dove un vasto incendio in località “Acque Molle -Timpone Forcone” ha mandato in fumo larga parte dei rimboschimenti di pino ed eucalipto e formazioni di macchia mediterranea, per una superficie equivalente a circa 65 campi di calcio. Già nell’immediatezza dei fatti i militari dei Nuclei Carabinieri Forestale di Sersale e di Petilia Policastro hanno attivato i dovuti accertamenti: attraverso l’ispezione delle superfici interessate dall’incendio e delle zone limitrofe, la repertazione delle aree percorse e la raccolta e analisi di informazioni da persone in grado di riferire notizie utili, sono riusciti a ricostruire la dinamica dell’accaduto. Il minuzioso lavoro svolto dagli investigatori, anche grazie all’ausilio di attività tecnica, nota come metodo delle evidenze fisiche - m.e.f. (protocollo scientifico che permette di risalire al probabile punto di insorgenza del fuoco) ha consentito di appurare in breve tempo le verosimili cause dell’evento - riconducibile all’incenerimento di residui di potature e pulizia di fondo agricolo - nonché le modalità di propagazione e l’individuazione dei (due coniugi) presunti autori del reato, deferiti nei giorni scorsi, in stato di libertà, all’Autorità Giudiziaria di Crotone. I contravventori, qualora le ipotesi accusatorie fossero confermate e fatte salve le loro garanzie di difesa, rischiano la reclusione da 1 a 5 anni. La normativa in materia, inoltre, prevede che anche in caso di accensione di un fuoco su terreni coltivati, pascolivi o incolti possa configurarsi il reato di incendio boschivo, qualora sia accertato che le fiamme possono estendersi ad una limitrofa superficie boscata (cd. “suscettività” ad espandersi del fuoco). Prosegue l’attività di prevenzione e repressione degli illeciti perpetrati in danno ai boschi dei Carabinieri del comparto Forestale di Catanzaro e Crotone che hanno adeguato, su tutto il territorio, il proprio dispositivo di controllo, soprattutto nelle aree particolarmente esposte, anche attraverso il posizionamento di “fototrappole”, strumenti tecnologici che - rilevando il movimento nell’ambiente circostante - sono in grado di scattare fotogrammi ed effettuare videoriprese.    ... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article
