I thought AFP was 1 of the Deep State news triumverate, spinning news to control the masses, the propaganda glue that holds all MSM together, waiting for the Consortium to set us free. Prolly China had a Faux News detector at the border and spotted this guy a mile away.

How does China's denial of a visa to a French journalist put them "on board" with me?

China's on board with you: Who needs AFP in Beijing anyways? They already got the truth. AFP: just propaganda!

If they consistently hit the right stories, whatever that means. There is an danger that shedding stories on X and Y topics might lower some potential audience, but the resulting work may be more hard-hitting.

Also, is Brexit and continual Parliament votes interest driving this? The Trump visit? And how much is The Guardian's new frequent Live section on some key event of the day driving this interest.

Important not to walk away with misleading interpretations of optimistic data.

Some journo buzz about subtraction rather than multiplication:

The Guardian cut its weekly story production by *one third*... and traffic went up, said @KathViner. This is amazing on many many levels, and something we should all be paying attention to. Less is sometimes more.

It took me living in the middle of the country to realize how distorting the media’s concentration along the coasts is on what we care about as a country.

Of course Glenn can do some good and even factual reporting if he cares to. It's just been 15 years since that was his daily habit. Between his casual life in Brazil and his love for all things Putin, he's grown a bit soft and self-absorbed. Maybe he should *only* write about social issues in Brazil and return to relevancy.

In reply to All the bad stuff we are

Being on your knees that long w hands behind head ain't exactly easy. Meanwhile 20 police men and wonen draw a paycheck for holding guns and looking painfully useless and (deadly) incompetent.

Then there was the black guy picking up trash in his own yard, defying some asshole policeman to put down his trash picker rod "weapon".

Is this how you think it is?

Is this how you think it is? Disinformation moves from social media to news out lets and that has a big affect. I agree totally. Pause and take that in. I agree. Is it inconceivable to you though that the world is complicated enough that disinformation planted in the reporting of newsfeeds that reach 1300 newspapers which go out to publications reaching many millions of people also have a big affect. Is it your conviction that both cannot be true at the same time? And how desperate are you to use The Intercept as a source? You have been putting it down and using it as a bad example type since before its first publication.

By the way, when you were there did you notice some damned gutsy reporting on Brazil by Greenwald and associates?
