Are you using the terms #MSM #media #news and #press incorrectly? If so you are hurting #journalism.

And America won’t survive without journalism. 📰 🗞

Thread 🧵:

 -what is media? It’s really anything out there: TV, papers, mags, internet. This is an extremely general term. Do not use it, unless you specify which medium. Particularly if you are unhappy with this medium. When you use media in a derogatory manner, you hurt *all* media.
-what is MSM? Who the hell knows. Especially in today’s digital age. Propagandists love using and abusing this term. Be wary of it. See above. Skip usage.
-what is the Press? Someone who reports for a newspaper or magazine. This term gets used in a generalized way, and includes mediums which are NOT journalistic in nature. For example: Press pass. More than news orgs get these. Try to avoid using Press.
-what is news? News is journalism! Journalists, or the Press, have the highest standards of ethics. Freedom of the press is defined as a right guaranteed in the United States by the first amendment for journalists to print whatever they want without government control.
What they do for us, by investigating and breaking stories, digging for hidden, buried or lost information, traveling the globe — it all costs money. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. ***Support and subscribe to papers.*** And never speak ill of journalism.
The Golden Rule is most important here: lift journalists up, or do not speak of them at all. Hurting one journalist, hurts all. Journalism is our last line of defense against Tyranny. Be wary of representatives who attacks the press. This is usually for publicity, or Tyranny.
Journalism is called the Fourth Estate for a reason: when the other three estates, or branches of government, fall - the Executive, the Legislative and the Judiciary - it’s up to the Fourth Estate to hold truth to power. Which is exactly what happened in 2016-2020.
I cannot emphasize this enough: never speak of journalism unless you lift it up. Do not do a tyrant’s work for him. A free society cannot run without the freedom to report on abuses of power.
-Cable is NOT news. It’s legally registered as entertainment! I’m not kidding. It’s why we turn it on over the Nightly News. Many of us want to be entertained. That’s ok, just know what you’re ingesting. Own it, and don’t quote it. News, or journalism, costs money.
Investigations take months, years, span continents. Cable networks have very little money for this. Which is why most of what we see on FOX, CNN and MSNBC are talking heads. They are cheap! There is little substance there, little investigative reporting.
That said, there are a few exceptions on Cable, like #RachelMaddow. She investigates, doing deep historical dives. She has extremely strong ethics.
-the internet is NOT news. Do not get your news from #YouTube, etc. People using these sites are simply conning you with clickbait to make money off you and your outrage…and I guarantee they are in a basement somewhere laughing.
-what should you watch/read? Papers. Papers papers papers. From around the world. Not just 1. Networks are pretty solid too, though they’ve been struggling for some time and have had to consequently shorten and water down their stories. They are still factual, just less detailed.
Non-profit organizations like Propublica are incredible-follow and donate to as many as you can. Read mags and journals too. I have a News List, feel free to subscribe or peruse it and take ideas to make your own.
-opinion pieces are NOT news. Stay away from the Opinion section of any paper if you’re easily swayed or frustrated. If you enjoy that section, please remember it’s just some guy off the street with an opinion (unless it is the paper’s editorial board - those pieces are gold).
-can you trust journalists? YES. An overwhelming yes. They work their asses off for us, #breaking stories we’d never otherwise hear about. And these important stories hold #truthtopower. Without accountability, we have chaos. Journalists are today’s #heroes. Treat them as such.
As I said, lift them up or do not speak of them at all. #Subscribe #subscribe #subscribe. That said, journalists are people too. And people are inherently biased. Just do a little research on the writers you read, like you do with everything else in life…and you’ll be good.
-what should you share? Share stories from vetted, respected, real journalistic outlets. We as individuals have the biggest hand in the spread of mis and disinformation. Take full responsiblility for every story and headline you share.
Think of it this way, not doing your homework before you share is like intentionally whacking your car with a bat. Every hit on truth and on journalism is like swinging over an over. First you’ll only notice the dents. After time, the car will literally stop running altogether.
That’s how important journalism is to a healthy democracy. And that bat swinging? It’s what tyrants want.

Look after journalism as carefully as you would your favorite car.
In summary, lift up journalists. We need them now, more than ever. And man, just think of how they’ve struggled these last years. They’ve been heckled, beaten, threatened with bombs, shot and killed in their own offices, killed and dismembered, and boycotted endlessly.
All while killing themselves for *us*. Do not do a tyrant’s work for him, and hurt them further. Even if it’s an offhand remark about a headline, or tweet you think could be better. Reporters report facts. Always remember, opinions are not their job. That’s ours.
Thanks for reading! Some great #freepress pubs to donate to-makes a great holiday gift! Don’t forget your local papers too 📰 🗞!!

No one agrees with the riot at the Capitol on Jan 6th, as a matter of fact, it upset and shocked me very much.

But the political persecution happening in our country upsets me even more.

I toured the DC Jail and will never forget the broken men singing the National Anthem as


their due process and human rights are violated by the very government in power.

Yes they did wrong, but no different than every single Antifa/BLM rioter that were bailed out by money raised from Democrat leaders like Kamala Harris & Ilhan Omar and

then had their charges dropped by liberal DA’s who probably cheer on the persecution of J6’ers.

The two tiered justice system needs to end.

Ashley Babbit’s mother & supporters are gathering nightly outside the DC Jail from 7-9:30 pm.

John Eastman retired last year from @ChapmanU. But he stands as a case study in how the college grappled with free speech and still faces unresolved questions over academic freedom amid the House probe of the former law prof's role in Jan. 6.

“This was a milestone event in the history of Chapman University and we haven’t yet come to terms with it or even found the right language to talk about it,” said prof @tomzoellner. Academic freedom is a "sacrosanct value" he said, but campus needs to examine what went wrong.

ARULMIGU SRI PARTHASARATHY SWAMY KSHETRAM, CHENNAI (TN)

Divya Desha where Perumal appears with moustache of a Sarathi (charioteer) to conduct Arjun’s Rath in Kurukshetra war.
Here, Venkatkrishna-Parthasarthy is present with his entire family.


He is flanked by Sri Rukmini, Sri Balarama, Satyaki, son Pradyumn and grandson Anirudha.
It is said that on the request of Raja Sumathirajan, Sri Perumal appeared and stayed here as Arjun’s charioteer (Partha-sarathi).


He is without chakra as he had promised not to wield weapons in Mahabharata war.
The face has scars caused by Bhishma’s arrows on Arjun. Prabhu took the arrows on himself to protect Arjun.


The Naivedyam offered here does not have spices. Ghee is used in it to cure Prabhu’s wounds. Sarkarai Pongal is famous here.

It is said that Rishi Bhrigu found Devi Lakshmi (as Vedvalli) in Alli flower in the mandir pushkarini. Later, Sri Ranganatha came here to marry her.

Oleg Karpov pisze, że gdyby Siergiej Sirotkin zdobył w pierwszej części sezonu więcej punktów od Strolla, to jego kontrakt z automatu zostałby przedłużony na kolejny sezon. Tak się nie stało i Williams ma możliwość szukania innych opcji i to właśnie robi. #F1pl

Czego w artykule brakuje, to informacji, że SMP prawdopodobnie przekazało Williamsowi część środków na sfinansowanie sezonu 2019. W przypadku zakończenia współpracy ekipa z Grove będzie musiała zwrócić te środki. #F1pl

To tłumaczy wysokie kwoty jakich Williams ma oczekiwać za fotel od nowego kierowcy. Jest pewnie próg opłacalności i dopóki nie zostanie osiągnięty, to zmiana z finansowego punktu widzenia nie będzie się zwyczajnie opłacała. #F1pl

ARE WE FAMILIAR WITH THE MEANING & POWER OF MANTRAS WE CHANT?

Whenever we chant a Mantra in Sanskrit, it starts with 'Om' and mostly ends with 'Swaha' or 'Namaha'. This specific alignment of words has a specific meaning to it which is explained in Dharma Shastra.


Mantra is a Sanskrit word meaning sacred syllable or sacred word. But Mantras r not just words put together,they r also vibrations.The whole Universe is a cosmic energy in different states of vibration &this energy in different states of vibration forms the objects of Universe.

According to Scriptures,Om is considered to be ekaakshar Brahman,which means Om is the ruler of 3 properties of creator,preserver&destroyer which make the https://t.co/lyhkWeCdtv is also seen as a symbol of Lord Ganesha, as when starting the prayer,it's him who is worshipped 1st.


'Om' is the sound of the Universe. It's the first original vibration of the nothingness through which manifested the whole Cosmos. It represents the birth, death and rebirth process. Chanting 'Om' brings us into harmonic resonance with the Universe. It is a scientific fact.

Therefore, Mantras are described as vibrational words that are recited, spoken or sung and are invoked towards attaining some very specific results. They make very specific sounds at a frequency that conveys a directive into our subconcious.

A #story from #Thiruvilayadal puranam-one of divine leelas of Bhagwan Shiva

#threadseries #Madurai

Story 16- it is about how Bhagwan Shiva explained the meaning of Vedas to the Rishis.

வேதத்துக்குப் பொருள் அருளிச் செய்த படலம்


Once there was a great deluge,everything in the world was destroyed.All lifeforms that existed got perished.Afterwards ,due to Bhagwan Shiva creation started.Then from Bhagwan Shiv ji's mouth-birth of 🕉 OM- Pranavam happened.From Pranavam,4 vedas appeared. Rishis learned them.

Many Rishis in Naimisharanya learned Vedas&recited them but they didn't understand the meaning&essence of Vedas. They were worried as they couldn't find any guru who can teach them the meaning of Vedas.That time,Rishi Arabhatar visited them.Rishis told him about need their worry.

Rishi Arabhatar told them that Bhagwan Shiva has given Vedas &he would be grateful enough to teach the meaning as well.But for that rishis have to rigorous penance at a sacred place.Also told them to go to Sundareswarar temple in Madurai to do tapas in front of Dakshinamurthy.

Assured them that Dakshinamurthy himself will come & teach them.Rishis proceeded to Madurai & started their tapas in front of Dakshinamurthy sannidhi for almost a year starting from Karthigai month pournami to next year Karthigai month pournami following all rituals..annadan

ANCIENT BHARAT WAS CALLED VISHWAGURU, AND IT REALLY DESERVED IT.

India had a well developed education system centuries before the westerners arrived and called us uncivilized. Education was always given a great importance in Indian civilisation since times immemorial.


Ancient India had the Gurukulas and Ashramas as the epicentres of the knowledge and enlightenment. Bigger Gurukulas served as the centres of higher education called universities. Besides these universities, temples also emerged as the major learning centres.

Studying the Holy Scriptures, character building, personality development, responsibilities towards self,family and society,discipline and preservation of the ancient culture and heritage were the key embodiments of education.

This kind of education system made ancient India, a centre of knowledge all over the world. Many foreign students came to India for education and India was called the 'Vishwaguru'.
Takshshila and Nalanda were the two prominent universities of ancient India.


But were these only Universities of ancient India?The answer is 'No'.Let's learn about these gems of our education system that flourished across ancient India & be proud.

NALANDA UNIVERSITY
This was the oldest university of ancient India.Situated in Nalanda distt. of Bihar...
