1/2 📺 Support public access. Support your neighbors. Support your voice.
➡️ Public access television isn’t just a broadcast—it’s a lifeline for local voices. I’ve seen this firsthand.
🗣️Growing up in Dorchester, I remember BNN TV ( #Boston Neighborhood Network)—a channel that reflected the people and stories around me. Years later, I had the honor of appearing on BNN to promote free fitness events and my book SPARTA SENIORS.

This year, social media displaced TV and online news websites/apps as the top way Americans get news, according to Oxford’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism (RISJ). According to their latest Digital News Report, the change is happening all over the world, but "faster and with more impact" in the United States. Here's more detail and other findings from the research, courtesy of Nieman Lab.


The #disinformation also added to the confusion over what exactly was happening on the streets, which was portrayed in digital & #SocialMedia [& #RightWing news #media] through starkly divergent #ideological lenses. Many posts created the false impression that the entire city was engulfed in violence, when the few clashes were limited to only very small parts.

The latest deployments prompted a new wave of misleading images to spread—some purporting to show #Marines & the #military service’s weapons in action. One was a still from “Blue Thunder,” a 1983 action-thriller about a conspiracy to deprive residents of #LosAngeles of their civil rights. It features a climatic dogfight over the city’s downtown.

Darren L. Linvill, a researcher at Clemson University’s #Media Forensics Hub, said #conservatives online were “building up the riots in a performative way” to help bolster #Trump’s claims that #LosAngeles had been taken over by “violent, insurrectionist mobs.”
Linvill said the posts were also “a bit self-fulfilling.” “As they direct attention to it,” he said, “more #protesters will show up.”
