THE FOURTH ESTATE

"We are very proud of the balanced, quality journalism that "..." produces, but we are concerned about the issues that are trying to make responsible, one-sided news plague our country. The exchange of biased and false news has become too common on social media, most alarmingly, some media outlets publish the same fake stories without fact-checking first. The exchange of biased false news has become too common... ... unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control exactly what people think, and THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR OUR DEMOCRACY.".




The media is called the "fourth estate" because, in theory, they have great influence in society and in balancing power along with the three traditional branches of the State: the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary.
The media, through their ability to inform, influence public opinion, and oversee public powers, play a crucial role in modern society. The term reflects their ability to influence politics, culture, and public perception, and their role as a counterbalance to established political power.

To have all the power, it is necessary to control the media. In Spain, only the A3Media Group has been granted over 100 million euros in public subsidies between 2013 and 2022*. Only in subsidies. This must be added to institutional advertising. In early 2023, the Government approved a budget of 440 million euros** to disseminate institutional advertising in media and other platforms.

These are their conclusions.

It's been 10 years since Conan O'Brien did a sketch on his show where he picked up how many media outlets reported on a news story, all parroting the same text like parrots.





Then the fourth estate sends you the message of "Protect yourself from lies and hoaxes. To get informed, trust journalists."

"80.9% of citizens agree that Television, Radio, and Press are the best guarantee against the proliferation of misinformation***."

And that would be true if there weren't economic interests involved. With the current social change, largely due to the Internet, both television, radio, and the press have been suffering a considerable loss of advertising revenue in recent years, as the advertising pie is shared among more guests.
If you need money to continue with your lifestyle, the State can help you with public subsidies and a considerable increase in institutional advertising, but of course, then don't go against the interests of the State, right? Logical.

HOW THEY DO IT

Sandals are one of the oldest types of footwear known and have been used by different cultures worldwide throughout history.
In ancient Egypt, sandals were often made of papyrus, leather, or other natural materials. Greek sandals were typically made of leather and had thicker, sturdier soles than Egyptian ones. Roman soldiers wore sandals called "caligae," which had thick soles and leather straps that wrapped around the foot and ankle to provide support and protection during marching and combat.

DOLLFAIR

Similarly to motor shows, food fairs, or telecommunications expos, among others, where companies, brands, and suppliers showcase their products and industry innovations, and where visitors, both professionals and individuals, can learn about new trends and even make purchases on the spot, the market for sex dolls is also expanding and seeking its customer base. A sex doll fair where you can see, touch, and maybe even, who knows, try them out.

THE HYPNOTIC POWER OF SCRAP CRUSHERS

david
These machines have an impressive capacity to destroy objects of any size and shape. Seeing how they can shred diverse items like a butane gas cylinder or a motorcycle is striking and almost hypnotic.
There's a kind of satisfaction in watching large and sturdy objects being reduced to pieces in a matter of seconds. Visually satisfying.
