  1. Big account advertisers, I'm sure, in the past may have occasionally expected some favours in return from their media platforms, particularly in terms of placement, but I'm equally sure they didnt try and fundamentally influence and dictate editorial content as they do now in return for their money.

  2. It's often true that. I like to read multiple sources on certain stories that interest me and it's obvious that they're sometimes drawn from the same source material to the point where they're word for word. Basically it's the retyping of press releases and I'm sure that AI is more than capable of fulfilling that task in the future. Doesn't bode well for the truth or actual news though.

  3. I would agree with you, but it appears that there is an ongoing concerted attempt to try and strangle these independent voices as their popularity grows and MSM's dwindles. Legacy media like the BBC, NYT, WSJ, Reuters, CBC, EBU and AP in cahoots with the very platforms these independent voices rely on like Google, YT and Meta through their Trusted News Initiative for example.
