Thanks for the comment. Davids have a history of taking on Goliaths.
On that subject there was an excellent series about an individualistic lawyer who took on "Goliaths". The program was on Prime and is outlined here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath_(TV_series)
In the first series my good friend and former Judge Alex Kozinski had a cameo role. I enjoyed seasons 1 and 2 and must have a look for seasons 3 and 4.
Shock horror! 😱😱😱 Surely you are not suggesting that the sainted MSM has been misinforming the public???
If they’ve been busy doings so on this matter then surely that calls into question the factual quality of the rest of their coverage?
But seriously - I think it is about time we all start calling the lot you write about the HBM (Has Been Media). No amount of short lived socialistic subsidisation will save them in the long run when they think that it would be a game changer if one or other became “the most trusted” media outlet in a world where significantly less than 50% of the populace actually trust the MSM, ahem HBM. If only one of those CEOs set their team the goal of getting more than 50% of the population to “trust” them - now that WOULD be a game changer for the betterment of all!
Australia's been talking about compelling platforms to provide access to news, so that they can be subject to Australia's version of the Act (which could otherwise be avoided by not facilitating access to news).
I hope that Inland Revenue has been thinking about this, because it amounts to tax policy being run outside of a budget process and without any consideration of the generic tax policy process.
If successful, it would be pretty bad for tax system coherence. Have a deficit but want to fund something anyway? Introduce legislation compelling some industry to 'bargain' with whoever is providing whatever you want to fund.
Go you, taking on the Goliath, David!
Canary in the coal mine is another appropriate metaphor.
Keep chirping on alternative perches (sorry, couldn't help it - platforms).

So much to do, so much to see, so little time
Read the synopsis, will pass, as you say, time can be better spent.
