Be on the alert about Newsweek

12. They have ties to Olivet College, and this Korean Charismatic Christian guy named David Jang.

Jang seems to be tied to a company called IBT which acquired Newsweek at the outset of the Obama Administration.

Apparently Jang is a bit of a nut, because I went on to IBT's site and they are very right-wing, and advocating crypto-currrency.

Jang is using IBT to try and build God's Kingdom on earth...

So Newsweek is no longer a credible source of anything. Which is too bad, because I used to read it.

But you know what's really cool? Kamala is taking her case directly to the people through social media. This thread is maintaining that the corporate owned media is no longer relevant for her. That is very interesting, and very astute on the part of Harris. Because the Millennials and GenZ people I know, including my own children and grandkids, get their news from social media, as well as from people like John Oliver, Jon Stewart and Seth Meyers.

After all, since the quest for profits on the part of these traditional media lizards has caused a pretty permanant right-wing bias (which it has), then there has to be a way to get the pure message out, one that does NOT pass through some executive producer or editor more concerned with making money rather than truth in news.

Harris' social media group is being pretty aggressive, and that is GREAT. We had a whole text thing going with my son and daughter last night, and they were glued to the Convention on MSNBC. They LOVED AOC, the basketball coach, the governors who spoke, Crockett and the rest of the speakers - this is a truly exciting DNC, and the speakers are hitting home run after home run.

Maybe the traditional media, Wall Street and those poor widdle billionaires who just don't have enough money and need another giant tax cut at our expense - hell, the whole Project 2025 plan, are now withering in the public light to which they have been exposed. Just like sunlight dries up worms.

Are traditional corporate-owned media outlets still relevant? Maybe not so much anymore.
