Just Stop Oil, the group that made headlines for high-profile stunts to protest use of fossil fuels, said it was ending protests in museums after achieving its initial demand.
Really? Source on the claim that ads influence individual journalists? That seems odd to me, since the journalists writing articles would have no clue about advertising.
Do you know about your company’s marketing mechanisms? Most people don’t, whether it’s about placing or receiving ads.
It’s not a direct impact; it’s that the ad buys get the oil folks access in a way that you and I don’t have. The journalists end up at things like conference panels with oil folks, and not so much with activists or scientists, and the editors choose who to put on a given story.

Your opinions and thoughts are shaped by the totality of your experiences. That single conference is just one example. And journalists are not super human- they are human just like me and you; subject to influence and sometimes yielding to “status quo” industry norms.
You’re not attempting to try and understand what the other commenter is trying to communicate, instead making assumptions and jumping to conclusions. That is the definition of arguing in bad faith.

Oh, so the journalists are too stupid to think for themselves because they went to a sponsored conference?
Would you be brainwashed by a single conference?

Lemmy is absolutely overwhelmed with bad faith posters with dubious motivations.
woosh
Maybe try rereading everything?

It’s supposed to be the sound of a joke flying over one’s head. Basically means “it was a joke”.
