💯 It is not nearly as nefarious as the entire mainstream media being a propaganda wing for this regime. It’s not any different than Dan Rather taking a salary.

No, it's not at all like that What a dipshit, myopic take Journalists are ostensibly paid to be objective in reporting REPORTING These contracts are for INFLUENCERS And the contracts restrict them from certain commentaries Dont be such a dunce, and pawn to elites www.wired.com/story/dark-m...

Now David Pakman (3.31M subscribers) openly ponders suing (ie tacitly threatening) for defamation -but what harm can he show?? He claims he lost 6K subscribers but gained 5k bcuz of this report on his dark $ contract w Chorus! He also feigned not knowing how to say AIPAC! youtu.be/Kijl89zWm0M?...

Actually it’s not. The people regardless of what you call them are performing 4th estate duties. I would say that several of the people, Paul included, are stepping in on platforms to do the duties that mainstream media is not covering at all. To be called an influencer is to demean the journalist

Dude, stop your lazy conflation of influencer w objective journalism It's disgusting An influencer can DO journalistic things (research, reporting) but doesnt make them a *journalist* Equating influencers to journalism is what ACTUALLY hurts journalism Your logic says BenShapiro is a journalist

Work they are performing in this article which seems to support more the lean of the article than the reality of what is going on. Perhaps you should check your own myopic views. Good day, I am fully done w entertaining your views further.

Youre not entertaining my views. But by your logic, your are doing journalism, because you conflate journalist woth influencer/entertainer.

What commentaries are specifically prohibited and under what circumstances?

That isnt up to us. It is up to Chorus to decide.... who is funded by dark money One common thread among the influencers seems to be a lack of criticism of Israel, nor capitalism from a socialist perspective And not much criticism of Dem establishment (since they serve the rich capitalist class)

I asked you what specific content is being blocked. You bring up Gaza. Is it that chorus is blocking them from speaking out against Netenyahu's war crimes?Or did they pick content creators who wouldn't. I also find it strange that people are shoehorning Israel war crimes into this.

I have both read and watched a decent amount, but I admit that I could learn more about it. That is why I am... asking questions. :)

I suggest you read Taylor Lorenz's article and also watch some of her interviews on channels like The Vanguard and Breaking Points. Most if not all of your questions will be answered by doing that.

I didnt bring up Gaza. I said Israel And its like you didnt read my words We do not know what Chorus will block. Its only recently started, and ths contract to influencers VERY recently offered (with only a few days granted to accept, & demands no influencers have their lawyer redline the offer)
sep 1, 2025, 10:32 pm • 1 0 • view
One more thing. According to this, Chorus "backed" contnet creators have been making content critical of Israel's actions in Gaza. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BWMTtJ/

I cant watch tiktok because im not on it Look, it has become mainstream FINALLY to become at least a little critical of Israel's actions *in Gaza* Man-made famine as a weapon is hard to deny anymore - tho Israel is trying still Ppl increasingly find it indefensible But that is a sliver criticism
sep 1, 2025, 10:35 pm • 1 0 • view
Yeah, Netenyahu is gaslighting (well attempting to) everyone about the lack of a famine in Gaza. And the proposal to move Palestinians to S. Sudan is clearly ethnic cleansing.
sep 1, 2025, 10:56 pm • 0 0 • view
The entire existence of Israel has been based on, and justified continuously by, gaslighting - the gaslighting to justify its most recent horrors is just that - the most recent Check its entire history; its very existence

I'm watching and am about 20 mins into her interview and have not yet seen proof of what can or can't be reported on. In also not buying the argument over why we can't see the contracts

Chorus (Brian Tyler Cohen' cofounded group) had their lawyer reply to the article, and Wired issued an update the next day (Attached) Chorus' legal team did not deny ANY of the reporting So these influencers merely are threatening & smearing - because those in the dark wanna be hidden. Shady.

And they cited Wilson. "creators are free to work with other groups or take on other partnerships outside the Chorus program and say whatever they want as part of that work or on their own." So, there's no content restrictions, debunking the claim that they must "push the party line", yes?
sep 3, 2025, 11:38 pm • 0 0 • view
Maybe. He's a lawyer representing Chorus and making a statement, not a journalist reporting ostensible facts. And these two screenshots DO contain restrictions. Plus non-disclosure restrictions. How can u read that one lawyer sentence and jump to "so, there's no content restrictions?"
sep 4, 2025, 12:26 am • 0 0 • view
Yeah, but is the person who made the comment about Mamdani correct about their interpretation of the contract? That's why I would want to see the contract because we have conflicting statements about what it says.
sep 4, 2025, 3:02 am • 0 0 • view
Idk exactly how theyre interpreting it; "give" is unclear in that sentence But from the bottom of that 1st screenshot into the top paragraph of the 2nd, I think it speaks a bit of the control that may be exercised by Chorus Imagine booking Mamdani, but not showing in ur interview if u support em
sep 4, 2025, 3:59 am • 0 0 • view
- and these arent journalists They are influencers. That means they are *expected* to share their opinions (thats why they openly rag on Republican shit) But yet theyre restricted (probably) in their opinions on some Dems (without advanced written authorization by Chorus)

Here's my issue with the Wired article. They say they have the Zoom video and the contracts. Yet, they don't show them??? I'm just supposed to believe it?

A snapshot of the zoom meeting. And idk - when Edward Snowden shared his docs w the Guardian, did Guardian release them? Even redacted versions? Same with the Paradise Papers, Pandora Papers (was that their name? Im forgetting a bit), Afghanistan Papers, etc

Didn't they post all of the emails online in a searchable way. You know, when some morons thought that the DNC mocking Trump for "taco bowl diplomacy" was them being bigoted towards mexicans when it was them making fun of his cinco de mayo tweet about the wonderful taco salads at Trump Tower?

I cant speak to any of that. I know TACO came from WallSt mocking him. But idk about anything else you mentioned, im afraid.
