The PMI (purchasing manager index) in Russia picked up in August, but is still negative (<50), indicating a decline. This is the third month in a row the index was negative. Input costs fell the most dramatically since July 2022. Inflation is ~20%, but not for manufacturing inputs!

Putin and Modi spent about an hour in an Aurus limousine after the SCO summit in China, continuing their negotiations. Bloomberg calls this "limousine BJ diplomacy," which allows Putin to showcase his wrinkled “Aurus” to world leaders and enhance its limp image. India is a proud Sponsor of War

We need to get back to that. Because despite all the corporate claims of neutrality, for-profit media *has* an ideology and a position. That position is to make as much money for its owners as possible. Truth is secondary.
Brandon Friedman (@brandonfriedman.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Just as Democrats are switching focus from failed leaders in the House and Senate to vibrant, aggressive governors and mayors, we also need to shift our media consumption to non-profit outlets like ProPublica and non-profit partisan outlets like The Texas Observer.

Brandon Friedman (@brandonfriedman.bsky.social) reposted
My take: 1. Journalism is a for-profit business first. It caters to capital. 2. On account of #1, most journalism strives to reach the maximum number of users, meaning it must strive for neutral, both-sides coverage. Fox News is a major exception and also the model for future journalism. 🧵
Brandon Friedman (@brandonfriedman.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Right now, partisan, conservative media is successful because conservatives like being fed bullshit propaganda. They like being told what they want to hear. Fox News just leans right into it.
Brandon Friedman (@brandonfriedman.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
However, despite the lies coming from Fox News, partisan media is truer in a sense. It is truer because it eschews the view from nowhere in favor of taking a position. It is truer because this is how all human beings are. They have opinions and viewpoints.

The fact is, neutral, both-sides journalism is a relatively new invention. It used to be that nearly all newspapers were like the competing New York Post (conservative) and New York Daily News (liberal). It was journalism, but it was coming from somewhere.

🚨🚨🚨If you live anywhere in the greater Chicago area…ICE will start using Great Lakes Naval Station as a command center for their “enforcement” operations across Chicago on Sept 5. The base isn’t in the city or Cook County. It’s north, in Lake County. Expect raids across entire the metropolitan area.
