The admirable DDN here interviews a journalist about an investigation into Palentir by the TLS. If you want serious political analysis you must go to this literary journal. What the New Statesman gives is political gossip. The Byline Times gives interesting intelligtnt gossip. but its still just gossip. Unfortunately the TLS is very expensive
The DDN interview fulfils Media Lens mission to correct for Mainstream meda distortions in such as the BBC. The main way the BBC distorts important news is not to report it, until it is finally forced to do so by those Social Media distortions its professed mission, as a Verifyer and an Unspinner,is to correct. The BBC finally got round to reporting some Israeli atrocities after everyone with a phone had seen them on social media. Instinctively protective to Palentir, it is having to take note of dark objections from the social media underworld. It will take longer for it to accomodate the latest bombshell revelation about Palentir: its useless
“The US tech giant Palantir holds contracts with some of the most influential entities in the world, from government departments and pharmaceutical companies to military contractors and banking powerhouses. Funding links to the CIA, misconceptions about how it operates, and broader concerns surrounding the use of private data, have all led to a significant protest movement online at the firm's increasing integration into major institutions. On this episode, Matt and Marianna consider why a narrative framing Palantir as a malevolent force is flourishing on social media, and ask whether this stealthy reputation actually suits its business model.....”
"...Matt and Marianna consider why a narrative framing Palantir as a malevolent force is flourishing on social media..."
Gee, Matt and Marianna (amazing this lying stooge is still taken seriously anywhere), I wonder if it's because of all the evidence of them actually BEING a malevolent force on the side of evil, run by and for sociopaths? We better have a podcast....The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
I read it from 1986 to 2004 by when its intellectual credentials had been eroded to the point that it wasn't worth reading. It's hagiography of Reagan was the last straw.Clio the cat, ?July 1997-1 May 2016 Kira the cat, ??2010-3 August 2018 Jasper the Ruffian cat ???-4 November 2021 Georgina the cat ?2006-4 December 2025 Toni the cat ?2005-25 March 2026
