Geez Tudor Dixon girl go AWAY

So let’s recap: The owner of the Midwesterner, which publishes reams of anti-Democrat and anti-Whitmer content (much of it likely AI-generated), is literally the president of her Republican challenger’s campaign. And they went into business together with Dixon’s husband nearly a decade ago, long before Dixon ran for office.

I hate Substack, but this seems like valuable info re: the sexist AOC attacks.

U.S. Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer appeared on a panel together at the 62nd Munich Security Conference along with Matthew Whittaker, United States ambassador to NATO. They talked about complicated issues of foreign policy and geo-diplomacy for an hour or so and it was, at the time, seen as an uncontroversial, non-newsworthy conversation. Yet a few days later, the press was full of stories about their slip-ups and lack of knowledge. Emily Horne, a former National Security Council and State Department spokesperson, did a deep dive into what had happened. What she found? Stories from "pink slime" sites — local news publications that are largely funded by right-wing dark money groups — picked up and "laundered" into real news by POLITICO, The New York Times and more.

Sky news are reporting on the upcoming Reform conference, mostly in fairly glowing terms. The only reference to Farage's USA trip is he returns from a meeting with Donald Trump. No mention at all of his humiliation when he spoke to congress. None. So, here's what happened, available in other papers if you hate the Grdn. UK media really needs to do journalism, not pink news slime.

Reading up more on pink slime. This article is from Oct 2023, but there are now a good number of academic articles on the problem of slime in the open knowledge web (aka the knowledge commons). Slime sites can be about recipes, pets, car stuff, gun stuff, fishing, yadda yadda, and news, especially local news. The more slime there is, the more likely it gets scraped into new LLM training data. Model collapse is still a thing.
