Australian Dialogues’ Post

Why is Michael Smerconish—one of CNN’s token “Republicans”—giving air time to black men saying Kamala Harris is not black? This clip comes from CNN — corporate news network central. Listen also to the way Smerconish is kinda-sorta-but-not-really downplaying what was said: unknown faceless phone callers who “self-identified” as black say what he’s airing is the exception not the rule. Which also means Smerconish put that on his radio show as well. This is not a message that is supportive of Kamala Harris. It is a partisan message intended to undercut Kamala Harris. We expect the corporate media to be anti-Trump. Why are they being anti-Harris as well?

Since Sony-Universal-BMG && AT&T (more accurately State Street, BlackRock and Vanguard) are obviously silencing RFK - We at least need to give this guy an opportunity to debate. He is the only one who can answer questions, which speaks volumes to why certain people are literally raping Americans of our freedom. If the mainstream media no longer supports what the people want then that is even more reason that we need to make this guy go viral, and choose the best option. #presidentialcandidate #bestchoice #potus https://lnkd.in/ebS2j32J

#NeverMiss Day 1129 In a world where EVERYTHING is available at the touch or swipe of our devices, any flaws, no matter the size, get amplified to the "nth" degree. Having an opinion on something automatically puts you in a box, any disagreements categorizes you as an "ist" or "phobe" and accountability is seen as being a bully. Some have forgotten how to be human. Some have forgotten that we're all flawed and should be given grace. Some have forgotten that how a person feels about one thing doesn't make them a bad person overall. If we're willing to look in the mirror and recognize our own faults, shadow voices and shortcomings, we'd realize we don't have to agree on everything, but should be respectful of others. Think before speaking, put yourself in the other person's shoes. You're not going to like and agree with everyone you come across. And that's OK. Be willing to listen with the intent to understand.

The 2023 American Conversation Study shows that TV is the most influential medium for shaping political conversations. 48% of Americans report that their political conversations are sparked by or reference what they see on TV. As the 2024 presidential election heats up, Donald Trump and Joe Biden must direct the discourse to highlight their opponent's weaknesses while reminding voters of their strengths. With both candidates being known commodities, TV will be more critical than ever in shaping the conversation. In what is sure to be a close race, whichever candidate is more effective at utilizing TV to shape these conversations will likely find themselves living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue come January 2025. Let Nexstar Media Group, Inc. help elevate that conversation from Hartford to Honolulu.

📺 Axios co-founder and CEO Jim VandeHei was on MSNBC’s Morning Joe to talk about America’s shifting media landscape. America is splintering into more than a dozen news bubbles based on ideology, wealth, jobs, age and location. This means where you get your news, the voices you trust, and even the topics and cultural figures you follow could be wholly different from the person sitting next to you. So instead of Red America and Blue America, we’ll have a dozen or more Americas — and realities. This will make understanding public opinion, and finding common agreement, even more complex and elusive. 🎥: MSNBC

Rediscovering Apple's Buried Treasure: The Saga of the Lisa Computer In an enthralling journey back to 1989, a Verge video crew and I embarked on a quest to Logan, Utah, amidst the harsh winter, in search of Apple's most notorious endeavor - the Lisa computer. The Lisa represented Apple's pioneering attempt at a user-friendly, graphically driven desktop, complete with innovative features like a mouse, windows, icons, and menus. Despite its groundbreaking design, the Lisa struggled with a hefty price tag and technical issues, ultimately overshadowed by the Macintosh. Our expedition was inspired by the story of approximately 2,700 unsold Lisa computers, rumored to have been buried in a Logan landfill. This venture wasn't just about unearthing technology; it was a deep dive into the dramatic history of innovation, failure, and the relentless pursuit of progress that defines the tech industry. Despite the challenges and the impossible odds of finding the Lisas, our journey shed light on the importance of recognizing and learning from past failures. This story isn't just about the Lisa or Apple; it's a testament to the tech community's resilience and innovation. As professionals in this ever-evolving industry, let's take a moment to appreciate our journey's hurdles and triumphs. Here's to the visionaries who pave the way for the future, even if it means confronting their buried past. Watch the full documentary on The Verge to explore the incredible story of the Lisa's final act and how Apple's determination to innovate, regardless of obstacles, has led to its present-day success. #Innovation #Technology #Apple #Documentary #TheVerge https://lnkd.in/eG3sNiAC
