….to the loss of propaganda journalism being funded through USAID, Dept of Education and others? There didn't seem to be that echoing effect of a unified messaging campaign flowing across domestic and international news agencies, newspaper publication and sound bites through short "reels" on tik tok and the like.

When the bucket of money dries up…..then you don't get the propaganda services for free.

How would you measure the potential impact?

Start with Volume of positive coverage as a percent of all coverage in one time period over another; to identify a change in the trend around the time USAID lost funding?

I wouldn't even know where to find the data to begin analyzing it tbh

AOC & Newsom were embarrassingly bad. Empty suits that can only spew tired slogans. They're both lightweights and it becomes very obvious when questioned by the foreign press. That's why you don't see a bunch effusive praise from the media. They want it to go away.

Wouldn't at all be surprised to see this guy in a future dem primary. Im not a fan, but he is a populist with political aspirations. Also, doesn't have the political baggage of others. Good debater too.
