The Media & Their Narratives.

[BIAD]

I think we can all agree the dying art of reporting news has evolved into some Journalists generating data by stoking
certain discourse forums with emotive issues and column-worthy intrigue. To do this with a certain type of assumed
authority, these places award a badge to somehow proclaim the speaker is someone held in a mysterious regard and
should be heard.

But what if a story appears that could hint towards that sort of 'news-governing'? How does those who benefit from
such honours of being above the masses report such an account? By changing the narrative or NOT reporting on it,
of course.

Below, one will see how the account only vaguely touches on the incriminating headline.

Elon Musk confirms people paid up to $15,000 for Twitter verification

Elon Musk, CEO of microblogging site Twitter, has revealed that some employees of the company under previous
ownership sold the coveted Twitter verification badge (blue tick) to some individuals for thousands of dollars.

The clandestine act was confirmed by Mr Musk while responding to a question by a user who asked the new CEO
if the allegations that some employees were selling the verification badge to unqualified people for amounts ranging
from $15,000 upwards were true.

The world richest man tweeted “yup” under the tweet of the user, confirming that the verification badges were indeed
issued to some individuals who were able to pay for it. Since he took over the social media company in a $44 billion
deal last month, Mr Musk has sought to revamp Twitter’s verification process.

In the new verification process, which the Tesla CEO tagged “power to the people”, any Twitter user can get the blue
badge on their profile irrespective of their level of significance, given that they pay $8 per month for the company’s
premium service.

The new system bypasses the old that was designed for only individuals who can prove that they are people of high
notoriety. According to multiple sources including The Guardian, Twitter has started rolling out the $8 per month
Twitter blue service in Apple iOS devices on Saturday, with the company announcing that its premium subscribers
will get the blue tick.

Although the service is only available to users in some selected countries, Mr Musk said “as soon as we confirm
it’s working well in the initial set of countries and we have the translation work done, it will roll out worldwide”...'

Elon Musk Confirmed Employees At Twitter Previously Charged $15,000 To A User For The Blue Tick

'Elon Musk publicity agreed to a statement made by a user that alleged, previously Twitter employees charged
$15,000 for accounts to be verified. Since Musk's reign began on Twitter, he shocked users by announcing the
new subscription mandate called Twitter Blue. Where the users who 'sign up now' would receive a blue tick like
'celebrities'.

Recently, a user alleged that this is not the first time Twitter is charging for verification on accounts. They said
twitter employees privately demanded a sum of $15,000 for the verified status.

@WSBCHairman said, "Twitter employees were selling verification for upwards of $15,000.
For certain accounts, mine included, they would refuse to verify you through the standard
application and then privately offer to verify you for $$ behind the scenes. Investigation needed".

Elon replied to the tweet with, "yup". His controversial confirmation on the same shouldn't seem as jarring, given
his recent history with the company. Musk's first actions after newly taking over Twitter was to fire the CEO and
several board of directors. Twitter also informed employees that they will be informed about layoffs in "an effort
to place Twitter on a healthy path".

The mail also mentioned "We will go through the difficult process of reducing our global workforce on Friday".
Further adding "We recognize this will impact a number of individuals who have made valuable contributions
to Twitter, but this action is, unfortunately, necessary to ensure the company's success moving forward"...'

You wouldn't believe the things these hacks organise on their private forums and oddly enough, the main narrative
of the MSM is that the public shouldn't interact through social-media! Here's a live-running commentary from a BBC
employee, who explains to an unknown questioner how only the mainstream media should be trusted to bring them
the truth.

Why is conspiracy rife in America?
Mike Wendling in Washington

Alison, US, asks: Why is conspiracy rife in America?
The easy answer is: social media.

But of course false rumours predate Facebook by centuries. And some research indicates conspiracy theories haven’t
become more popular over the last decade or so. So why does it feel like fake news and false rumours are overwhelming
the country?

For one thing, very important people are talking about them: Kayne West, Elon Musk, Donald Trump. Conspiracy theorists
are running for office. We’ve been tracking a group of candidates organised by a QAnon influencer.

More broadly, a BBC analysis of Republican candidates running for Congress or governor found that 175 - or 35% - have fully
and publicly denied the outcome of the 2020 election. And there’s another interesting twist - several big recent conspiracy
theories are explicitly party political. Again that’s not exactly new, but it is something that America hasn’t grappled with in
a long time.

Rumours about, say, the moon landing took aim at shadowy forces like the “military industrial complex”.
But recent debunked conspiracy theories – QAnon, Pizzagate and “Stop the steal” – have targeted specific politicians, mostly
Democrats...'
