But also, the more articles you write about “rocket man bad”, doesn’t it become more and more obvious what your bias is? It’s just a little on the nose at this point.
No wonder trust in old school media is at an all time low.
I strongly suspect confirmation bias is at play.
How about this article? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/18/elon-musk...
That certainly is not a "rocket man" is bad article. It provides context and states what why Musk would be filing a lawsuit.
How about this article?

Seems very expository to me, with lots of quotes from Musk and team.
How about this article?

Which leads with the sentence: "Elon Musk, the world’s richest man; Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind; and King Charles among those weighing in"
How about this article?
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/sep/12/elon-musk...
I very much could see all 8 of those points being conveyed in a much starker light, or potentially selecting different points that were all abjectly negative - rather than the relatively expository nature of the article.
“I hope you will be involved. And the fact that you came here, I think, speaks volumes to your commitment to try to secure a better future.”
That does not square in the slightest with doing anything they can to make him/them look bad. It presents Musk as a reasonable guy who received praise from the PM of Israel. The article is here:

Compared to? @sexygirl2000 as the "new media"?
What does this even mean?
Then there are reporters. These are people who write stories for newspapers and are told by their editor to push a narrative because the owner wants to put pressure on a particular sector. They do what they are told because their paycheck is more important that unbiased reporting. Anecdotally I know I am exposed more to these hack reporters in my day to day dealings with my local media outlets than professional journalists and dare I say a lot of other people are too.
The media has very few positive news stories and they are channelled along specific activities in life.
I can't imagine anybody valuing media now. Media is fundamentally worth less to read and participate in, than ever before.
Old school media now, is nothing like old school media then. Online media outside of a few places, is heavily manipulated and poisoined.
What would you consider a trustworthy non-"old school media" source?
Because of that, people are intensely interested in the melodrama of his public life, and a capitalist or populist media would be foolish not to cover it. The theatricality of it all is his brand and something that he intentionally and specifically cultures. Where and if media organizations do develop a bias of unduly vilifying him, it's because he explicitly invites them to play that role.
Whatever you think of him, he's no victim.
From my perspective, articles said he made anti-Semitic statements but I personally struggled to find the tweets themselves anywhere within the articles. Many people would read the headline, and take away that Musk is an anti-Semite without going further. For those who click the article they would still struggle to find out what exactly was said.
@breakingbaht
Okay.
Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.
I'm deeply disintereted in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much.
You want truth said to your face, there it is.
@elonmusk
You have said the actual truth.
The picture you get of him by listening to him directly is so different than how he is portrayed by these media organizations.
You can see it in the this particular case that has everyone calling him an "antisemite". Here is the full exchange:
musk: "You have said the actual truth"
musk: "The ADL unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority of the West supporting the Jewish people and Israel. This is because they cannot, by their own tenets, criticize the minority groups who are their primary threat. It is not right and needs to stop."
whatsupfranks: "Yes, but this is not fair to say or truthful to say that ‘Jewish communities’ promote dialectical hatred towards white. Say what you want about the ADL, but don’t generalize the Jewish community."
musk: "You right that this does not extend to all Jewish communities, but it is also not just limited to ADL"
musk: "And, at the risk of being repetitive, I am deeply offended by ADL’s messaging and any other groups who push de facto anti-white racism or anti-Asian racism or racism of any kind."
Reading this exchange, it's clear to me that musk does not hate jews. However, these media orgs took only the first message out of context and declared that musk hates jews.
He has had other exchanges with the president of Israel and leadership of the ADL, but those have also been conveniently left out.
Trump is a different story, I don't really know much about that because I'm intentionally tuned out of politics.
