These structural factors that dominate media operations are not alI-controlling and do not always produce simple and homogeneous results… The beauty of the system, however, is that such dissent and inconvenient information are kept within bounds and at the margins, so that while their presence shows that the system is not monolithic, they are not large enough to interfere unduly with the domination of the official agenda.

Voice of America (VOA) is a state media network funded by the United States of America, whose purpose is to project soft power through journalism. In 2005, the Washington Post reported that suspected Al-qaeda operatives were flown into Thailand to be detained and tortured. VOA’s remote relay radio station in Udon Thani province has been widely suspected to be the torture site.

I can’t find !abc – I guess it overlaps with another community like !abolition so you can’t mouse-over it.

This distinction is important. I’ve seen a lot of greenwashing about hydrogen as a renewable energy source, but it is only a non-carbon producing form energy storage, and is almost entirely energy stored from processing fossil fuels.
