Comment on Gates Foundation has spent $250M on journalism

Comments

Is paying people to write favorable stories "journalism" or "propaganda"? Did we just formally merge those two in 1968 and I just missed the announcement?

How about "lobbying journalism"? Tho, I've read that in the US lobbying isn't seen as bad as elsewhere around the world.

Lobbying is just corruption justified

Not only journalism and propaganda, but also academia, literature, arts, etc.

Yes it is. It is also corruption.

propaganda
