Boohoo. But it’s not over yet. There’s still #Smartmatic to go.
“Mr Murdoch remains confident that the court would ultimately find in his favour, however he does not wish to further enable Crikey’s use of the court to litigate a case from another jurisdiction that has already been settled and facilitate a marketing campaign designed to attract subscribers and boost their profits.”

Putin pitches the American right with an ungodly invocation of God
If you were to read Putin’s words without knowing who said them, you’d be forgiven for assuming they came from a Republican politician in the USA or a Fox News propagandist.

@giascott We can also blame Cold War jingoism plus the amplification from right wing media for this.
@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon has anyone ever compiled a list of all the #Boogeymen #FoxNews has used to frighten/anger their audience?

Ex-FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas at the request of the US yesterday. The SEC accused the crypto exchange founder of fraud and New York prosecutors are expected to unveil criminal charges today. “SBF” was otherwise scheduled to testify before Congress today.
Get the rest of today’s news — just the news — not a firehose of speculative #angertainment.

MediaWatch just introduced me to the neologism "angertainment", which is a pretty good way to describe corporate social media driven by The Algorithms:

Gestern las ich erstmals den Begriff #Angertainment für die Art, wie Populist*innen und ihre öffentlichen Unterstützer*innen Politik verstehen. Stelle hiermit den Antrag, dass wir das als #Wuterhaltung übersetzen und etablieren.
"INKY THOUGHTS"

Just sayin'
#SeriousNewsOutlets should seriously get on Mastodon because soon #SeriousNewsConsumers all will be here (and not there).
Seriously, serious news consumers aren't interested in #angertainment and #conspiracytheory so we don't look at that other site anymore.

I particularly like the tag #angertainment https://twitter.com/turnbullmalcolm/status/1596987571699339264?s=12
New word of the day: #angertainment.
The term seems to have been around for a little bit, but I saw it in the context of Malcolm Turnbull reflecting on the media surrounding #VicVotes.
I try my best to avoid angertainment as much as possible. I know some people who really feed into it and let it consume them. I just don't have that kind of energy for it.
Holy shit it’s been days since I’ve checked the birdsite and I feel like I’ve been deprogrammed from a cult. That place is a fucking hate machine. #angertainment #twitterexodus
Republicans are working hard to get Americans addicted to Angertainment Politics.
Reject their toxic message. Demand our elected leaders solve problems.
It’s literally their jobs.
I'm all in for taking a hard look at the #MilitaryBudget in the #USA, but #wtf #QvinMcCarthy? #McCarthy has litterally NO leadership skills, but he SO desperately wants to by #HouseSpeaker. So much that all they get from his is buzz word salad. Yet, many people still vote for these clowns. Now we get two years of nothing but outrage, drama and #AngerTainment. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/16/united-states-military-adam-smith-mccarthy-defense-bill-00068007

@georgetakei another one I saw recently about maga election deniers running for office: #AngerTainment ( believe term used by Frisch in Colorado to describe Boebort’s campaign). Perfect summary of the platform the far right is running on, that is, a platform of fear, constant gas-lighting, anger, and agitation. With no focus on practical legislation.
Some comedy:
Jimmy Kimmel Live:
Pence Spreads Hot Trump Gossip, MAGA Nuts Fight Election Fraud & Republicans Hatch a Childish Plan
Over on the birdsite someone coined a new word (for me, anyway); 'angertainment':
"Feel good stories don't bring in the revenue, and billionaires own the news. #Angertainment is where the money's at."
They also, coincidentally, own most of the #SocialMedia. Unlike the #fediverse.
Hmmm.
