The newest bit where CNBC tries to say Tesla's don't work in cold weather seems to be part of a systematic pattern of disinformation that is presumably paid for in a bribery type set up kind of like the payola set ups with radio. Their citing in this case the AAA auto insurance carrier study, a study by a company threatened by electric autonomy and threatened by Tesla's success doesn't improve the situation. And if we think about why the lies about Tesla aren't on Fox News instead its because has the Fox head on its board, that also shouldn't be comforting as there should be a huge consequence for media firms when they lie to the public and even greater consequence when they do it for money.
They exist to serve the public not mislead it and there are now technological alternatives to a corporate news media or even a professional news media. Possibly the greatest utility of AI will be in truth matching.
I'd conjecture the US is in the situation it is in today with a bribery based media for a reason. The US became for a time a global 800 pound gorilla and the response of the rest of the world was to try to puppetize and capture its media so its state could be captured and puppetized. I'll gives some examples of this action below. But first lets run down the history of depravity and let us not forget that receiving news from an entities that are not simply subscriber based but also accept sponsorship is about the most reckless and destructive thing a citizen can do it will create a highest bidder society based on lies.
11 example depravities in legal doctrine, decisions and US politics:
Santa Clara Railroad: The founding father's didn't want corporations, the were more interested in things like the corporate death penalty or quo waranto, but this decision tried to make corporations out to be persons which given that they were composed of people would be adding redundant weight to the citizenship and personhood of the 'owners'
Buckley v Vellejo: Said that money wasn't bribery rather that it was protected speech, this was the pay for censorship and law as a function of bribery or people as property decision. One of the worst decisions in the history of man, needs to be completely reversed. Possibly the worst thing that's happened to the US democracy. Maybe I am missing something but this decision is moronic but it fit in with the society for the sake of business last Powell- exactly the opposite of what is needed as a society that is business first isn't worth living in.
Loss of the Free Speech Doctrine: This doctrine said commercial speech was last in line to protect vital political speech. This was right and crucial and its loss at the SOTUS level means garbage like the anti neutrality FCC is possible- e.g. prioritizing censorship for pay.
Loss of the Fairness Doctrine: This too was incredibly destructive for the society because the fairness doctrine was actually an anti-bribery doctrine that said that media companies would cover elections for free or have their charter revoked. It also said that there had to be an editorial fire wall between the news room and the entertainment sides of a media company. Highest bidder media means you lose your democracy because media consolidates and filters the candidates based on sponsor wishes.
Under Nixon PBS also became partly sponsored. Absolutely ridiculous- its not public if its sponsored, its just propaganda.
Monsanto vs the Fox New Anchors: Also horrible result that idiotically established that corporations could lie to the American public about public health through the news media if profit was involved. That the news media had a protected right to publish lies and misinformation. In this case Monsanto was exposed for lies it told about the safety of rBST and Fox News anchors were fired for trying to expose it when Monsanto said they'd pull their sponsorship if the stories aired, their firings were upheld under this decision. How could anyone that wasn't evil or simply blackmailed write such a decision how was it binding and how has it ever held up?
Citizens United. This was a case against Hillary Clinton where Clarence Thomas was part of the deciding vote and where his wife had taken something like 1 million in money from litigant pushing the ability to dump unlimited money into elections to drown out the public even further maximizing the sell out prostituting of politicians. They need money to run and they have to give money to the same media firms that are controlled and filtered by the corporate sponsors pumping money into the system.
Facebook trial: This was about commercializing domestic spying so that it would be seen as acceptable to allow not only state piggy backing on this spying (Hillary Clinton being a big proponent of spying on Americans- lose your privacy and lose your rights for lack of ability to lose your voice and become property) and selling it to the highest bidder including foreign governments as we saw in the 2016 elections.
Budget Sequestering- this is a anti-democratic process where secret special interest get to decide the US Budget. This is the same kind of criminality as ALEC where the legislative process and the people get overridden by corruption. Stuff is as dumb as current artificial carbon sequestration for 'clean coal.' It literally means budget capturing how idiotic does it get?
Austerity: Bail out failed banking held hostage by perpetually failing ultra low thermodynamic efficiency and ultra low aggregate efficiency fossil fuels at the ever increasing expense of everything that makes livable for everyday people to the point of bail-ins and confiscating people's and checking savings deposits.
Supreme Court selection of Bush, use of fraudulent voting machines and lack of paper trail along with gerrymandering to steal elections. Probably add the Obama era NDA riders allowing the regular armed forces to disappear US citizens without a paper trial.
