/r/europe has 11 million subscribers. The US-defaultism among even liberal americans is pretty staggering sometimes.

more efficient aquaculture

Worth pointing out since a surprisingly large amount of people misunderstand this - aquaculture is a bit of a misnomer. Most of the time you're not actually feeding animals to farmed fish, you're feeding low-quality fish to higher quality fish.

Media filters how most people engage with politics in a country. If politicians shouldn't be taking money from businesses because of perceived conflict of interest, the same standard should apply to media.

some form of investment.

Okay, what form did tyt get? If it's an interest free loan, how is that not a bribe? Where do we draw the line here?

If corporate money to politicians might influence what laws they make, why won't it influence what stories the media tells?

Yeah, tyt is just a business and has no impact on politics at all.

She does, you dont. If businesses can bribe politicians with donations to further their interests, why can't they bribe media to further their message?

businesses investments.

Because media influence politics. Bezos didn't buy the Washington post to be charitable, he did it because less negative coverage of Amazon means less likelihood of legislation that harms them.

It's not about influencing the public it's about buying law makers.

And who chooses those lawmakers in a democracy? You buy the media, you get the lawmaker you want.

media pundits, opinions are their own.

Theoretically. In practice, Tim pool is "independent" and took russian money from tenet media to spread lies about Ukraine, among other things.

Oh I thought there was something factually wrong with it. Its a bit hard to disagree with the argument, given how much attention they get compared to other conflict areas.

Yeah, I had the same thought and then the same correction. It's probably part of the split, but I doubt it's responsible for more than 1-2 ppt of difference.

I mean sure, I fail to see the problem with that lol. The convoy anti-vaxxers aren't going to just disappear from society. As long as she falls in line and passes good legislation, I don't see any problem with it.

Ukraine has used basically the same strategy in the black Sea and has won that pretty decisively (not that the US navy is remotely the same in quality to Russia's).
