Media Bias Against Facebook

Also Facebook.It’s because media companies used to control all the information and opinion. Now they’re losing that power to big tech. They are mad. But ultimately they will lose, for better or for worse.

it's a news organization, they are rewarded for getting views, not getting the story straight. for more information on that see how Orson Welles went bankrupt. big media is a bigger threat to society than big oil and the islamic state combined. if people remember right, corporation's were super anti internet because of competition. so if you think facebook/apple/whatever is bad, you were obviously born sometime after the 90s, not being mean, its kinda the way things were, the

I am neither a FB user, employee or stockholder. FB has taken a lot of steps which I would not support personally; but how likely would it be for FB's bad policies to get more fanned by the old media(newspapers, news TV channels, influential blogs) because they have an axe to grind here. FB essentially disrupted the whole business model of old media and commoditizes old media entities. FB acts as a middleman, eats up revenue share and weakens the brand-user relationship, something no old me

Media want to control the narrative , even if their advice is wrong (as was in this pandemic). So does facebook, even though it isn't willing to do any work (i.e. pay a penny) to create it.

Regardless it's fascinating to watch the transformation of mass media and the discovery of individual voices over prepackaged narratives.

We are seeing more and more news and speeches like that recently. While I agree with a lot of them, in terms that these big players are really bad for society, I keep thinking, what is making all of this to be published now? Who is actually behind that? If FB / Google fall, if the web with ads as we have today fall, who will get a ton of money?Some of it might be a trend as we are seeing a lot of books, paid articles about focus, ditching social networks, etc, but I dunno if that is the

Seems like typical media bias against FB. Don’t forget- FB was bullying media companies for a while. Now they are getting a chance to strike back.

Media companies who make their revenue on advertisements have a business interest to attack their biggest competitor. Fair criticism or not, the continued push against Facebook just feels like desperate hope for news outlets to gain some ground against tech giants.

It's not that the media thinks Facebook is weak, but rather they're actively working on weakening it. FB was traditional media's darling until they realized they're losing advertisers and subscribers to social media, at which point the doom-and-gloom narratives started.

First, you need to look at human attention as a commodity just like gold - available in fixed quantity and everyone wants piece of it. It turns out that FB managed to conquer large portion of human attention after it emerged. This also meant massive attention transfer from news media to FB. However until year ago, FB benevolently gave back significant pie of its attention share to news media by heavily promoting their stories. After last year's WEF meeting, FB took sudden unilateral decisio

where's google and facebook and twitter? are they not media companies?
