Mass media "filters" filtered out new stories and facts that are presented in major local, regional, national and international news media outlets. The five classes of media "filters" are:
1) Ownership, especially when media ownership is consolidated and participatory with regards to self and special interests.
2) Funding sources include both internal and external sources of financing the reporting.
3) Sourcing - where sources can influence action taking advantage of their value to the source, and which can negatively affect access and reliability, and punish those that negatively impact the source or the sources constituents.
4) Flak - negative responses to a media statement, article, or program. It can be lawsuits, intimidation, violence, boycott and destroying livelihood.
5) "being branded fear activating ideology that is not accepted by the hegemony". - communist, socialist, liberal, etc.

Get the media filter mug.The protective discomfort that comes from viewing pre-Covid television shows and movies through the lens of currently necessary social/physical distancing and mask-wearing. Feeling distracted or distressed by characters that share food and drinks, talk closely, don't distance or wear masks.
I had a hard time turning off my Covid filter when watching Dirty Dancing. Everybody was just too close together and breathing each other's air.

Get the Covid filter mug.A simple tool to make sure that any important e-mail that from a sender you have not previously whitelisted will be hidden from sight, while most of the emails that still make it to your inbox will still be spam.
A device that saves no one any time if you want to catch all of your important mail from non-white listed senders, because you still have to manually search through all of the spam to check for the important e-mails within.
If the post office implemented a similar spam filter, your tax refunds and stimulus checks would not be delivered and unless you went in person to the post office to check through your spam, it would be put into the shredder after 30 days.

Get the Spam Filter mug.A.k.a. "mustache". Refers to where you are imbibing Pure Leaf tea or other liquid-libation which contains yucky dregs that you'd just as soon not hafta gag down while quenching your thirst, and so you angle your head back and slowly pour the beverage onto your mustache so that your Fu Manchu bristles catch most of the drink's offending particulate while allowing the refreshing liquid part to seep down through your upper-lip caterpillar and into your open mouth. Depending on the quantity and concentration of said sludgy sediments, you may need to pause frequently to wipe off the accumulated residues from your 'stache with a paper towel, but this minor inconvenience is small potatoes compared to the acute tongue/throat discomfort of having to actually ingest said stringy/gelatinous goo along with your flavorful fluid!
Utilizing your facial-fur filter takes some practice, but just like the upper-lip valve method of swigging your bottled whistle-wetter, this technique can indeed be perfected through careful and frequent employment, and allow you to guzzle your drink "cleanly"; i.e., without gagging or spilling anything on your shirt.

Charl: I was giving Davit a real coffee filter with the Taco Bell I had eaten and stained up my tighty whities good.
