Their special viewpoints are what I meant. Their ownership structure is a co-op (Genossenschaft), so absolutely decent by all I can tell.

Good question, I've heard of but never looked into them. ProPublica seem to get most of their money from a charity created by billionaires, so their funding might come with some significant strings attached, but they do some pretty good journalism, it seems.

What news organization today isn’t owned by some international goliath?

Excellent question. Here are the ones I could think of; let's collect links! (Of course, they all have their flaws.)

World at large:

• <please help me out, folks>

US-focussed:

• jacobin.com
• 404media.co
• democracynow.org
• NPR, PBS

Europe in general:

• Most public broadcasting stations (BBC and the likes of it)

Germany:

• nd-aktuell.de
• jacobin.de
• kontextwochenzeitung.de (Baden-Württemberg)
• taz.de
• jungewelt.de (with a grain of salt)
• netzpolitik.org (digital/privacy/civil rights politics)

Philippines:

• rappler.com (led by Maria Ressa, do watch this speech of hers)

Reminiscent of dumping on the Washington Post because Bezos.

As things have turned out, one can hardly censure the people who did so.

The reason that quality independent journalism is so hard to find is that nobody much is paying for it. Including you, probably.

There are several interrelated reasons: Lack of funding (in part due to a lack of an advertising subsidy, which is a good thing), lack of prominence, lack of readers recognizing the value of independent journalism.

The crucial thing is that with everyone who does recognize its value—and the harm that is caused by a corporate-dominated media landscape—and who therefor starts to make a conscious effort to read independent sources more often, to point others to them, and to support them financially (which I do, for the record), those issues improve in tandem.

Thanks!

Integrated trackball? Name please!

Befreundet ja nicht; soweit ich weiß gab es nur dieses eine Treffen, wo das bekannte (befremdlich herzliche) Foto entstand und das laut E-Posts auch hauptsächlich auf Initiative Epsteins und Bannons zustande kam. Was es natürlich gab ist Chomskys Freundschaft mit und Verteidigung von Epstein.

I recall the general observation that a lot of Chinese EV companies were being built up, quickly building production capacities that, taken together, greatly exceed demand, each company hoping to be among the few that eventually survive. So that what we're now seeing would be this show down

Fuck every Axel Springer Publication, which includes Politico
