media filter

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.

The reporter could not get past the media filters with his highly controversial stories, even though they were well documented and fact-checked.

777 filters

This relates to a social media app known as "Tiktok. These 777 filters are known for having inappropriate images in them. They are a "choose your favorite" filter which you would tilt your head to the direction of your favorite character/variation of your character. At first it'll be normal with completely fine images and then once you choose it would usually display an image of that character naked or just some other type of inappropriate image. Some of the most popular 777 filters were; Chun li, Princess peach, and Hello Kitty. Most of these filters are gone now.

Person 1: Hey have you seen those 777 filters?
Person 2: Yeah it's crazy how they are not taken down yet!

Filter Loon

folk who rely on enhancement apps to make themselves look pretty

Charles was scrolling Facebook the other day and stumbled on Bob's new profile picture, which looked absolutely nothing like him. "What the F is that and who am I looking at?" Charles exclaimed. "Bobby is totally unrecognizable and a little bit nuts. IRL he looks like a high-school janitor but on Facebook he's a supermodel! Bob is definitely a Filter Loon." Charles logged off and went for a walk.
