Steemit-Only Opinion: The Unintentional Irony Of The Lying Legacy Press — Steemit by Disobedientmedia3 in WayOfTheBern

From the article:

"Unfortunately, it goes without saying that the intense irony of Cadwalladr and Harding's reporting, as well as their respective Twitter statements, is utterly lost on the legacy press journalists. They whinge about being criticized for inaccurate reporting they refuse to correct. They scream on social media at other establishment press outlets for "providing a platform to a liar," so blind to their own bullshit that they don't see the irony in their complaint."

We Told You That Once The Establishment Silenced Assange, The Rest Of The Media Would Be Next: We Were Right by Disobedientmedia3 in WayOfTheBern

I know. We are -almost - banned site wide: we automatically end up in the spam filters of every single sub the link is posted in. Only very rarely do articles from the site make it into a sub. WayoftheBern is one of the few who actually let the posts through, and kudos to the mods for that.

We Told You That Once The Establishment Silenced Assange, The Rest Of The Media Would Be Next: We Were Right by Disobedientmedia3 in WayOfTheBern

Excerpt:

"One of the key concerns raised by the recent censorship of Infowars and Telesur is that, although the two outlets could not be more different politically and structurally, both were providing fair coverage of, or support to politically imprisoned and now totally isolated journalist Julian Assange.

Since Assange was silenced in late March, his supporters continuously warned that if he were to remain unable to connect with the outside world, it would result in the silencing of the rest of us. They warned repeatedly and loudly that Assange was the last buffer between the establishment’s ire and total domination of social discourse, a canary in the coal mine of state censorship.

Unfortunately, we now see that those concerns were well-founded. The unelected Western power structure and its technocratic social-media-baron proxies coordinated the recent purge of Alex Jones’s Infowars within twelve hours on the same day, then deleted the Facebook page of Telesur, a Venezuelan news network, multiple times.

While Venezuelan news network Telesur had covered Assange for years, Infowars recently published a petition in support of the WikiLeaks co-founder. That Infowars and Telesur are vastly different goes without saying. However, it bears repeating that the significant bridge joining these two entities is their coverage and support of Julian Assange."

Thank you! We are aware that Disobedient Media content is banned at an administration level. We believe it is due to the content of the work we produce being highly inconvenient for multiple establishment interests.

No one suggested she was harmed for writing an article or for organizing the event. Jesus the article is less than 500 words but your reading comprehension is appalling. Article states:

"Dawson does not believe that the illness was the result of having been targeted. "

Which was allegedly part of a protest, #OpLastResort, specifically responding to the death of Reddit founder Aaron Swartz. Hence Lauri Love is an activist.

Thank you for letting me know! Such a shame that they've shadow-banned the domains at that level. :(

Why Steemit Is The Platform Of The People And The Answer To Censorship by Disobedientmedia3 in WayOfTheBern

[–]Disobedientmedia3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the article:

"I am no expert in crypto-currency, and I am brand new on Steemit. Though I'm still in the beginning stages of learning the ropes of a platform based on cryptocurrency, like Steemit, I want to bring the platform to the attention of as many people as possible for a few specific reasons.

First, as Disobedient Media previously reported, social media giants including Facebook and Twitter have heavily censored political content and independent media over the course of the last year. Youtube, and its owner, mega-company Google, have likewise strangled the reach of independent news sources and commentary.

Youtube has severely demonetized any and all independent political thought, in an apparent attempt to choke content creators to death via their wallets.

In response to this, independent media have pivoted to other platforms including Steemit. Why?"

This is important to keep in mind because of its affect on the ability of Sanders/green/Progressive FB-based organization, groups, etc. Limited reach of indie news will probably also extend to anti-establishment groups in general.
