Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

sorry for sounding so radical and extreme, bro... but it'd be super cool if we could all magically have that feeling of reassurance, being wanted, and supported without also feeling pathetic for desiring and yearning for such things.

3 years - if you're earning £125k+

Labour's two tier system which rewards high earners and insults those who work just as hard but don't earn as much - really sad to see Labour fall

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

Trump now says that to rebel against the authority of the state is a DEATH PENALTY offense. And who determines rebellion? Why he does of course. Can it get any worse?
Of course it can.
Of course it can.

Labour have sent out a toe curling press release about their horrendous changes to the immigration system.
Imagine a LABOUR government boasting that we will now have "by far the most controlled and selective" system in Europe.
NONE of the people who find that boast appealing will vote for them.

When the leader of a dying political party creates his own private militia, equips them with shitty surplus equipment, insists they operate wearing full face we masks, and deploys them ONLY into blue cities to wage violence, that's a domestic terror campaign.
