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.

Get the Filtered mug.An “Anless Filter” is where you walk around holding your phone loosely/lazily in your hand filming upside down content (because someone on TikTok said it’s better).
Once you’ve finished filming you watch the video back, pause at regular intervals, take screenshots and then post the photos online claiming you’re a professional photographer and “I don’t use filters chick xx”

Get the No-filter November mug.A military punishment in which a shower trough is plugged and flooded, and then a full platoon is required to ejaculate into the flooded shower. The individual being punished must then suck in the water through their teeth, filtering the semen from the water. The punishment is complete when the water passes a black light examination and is cum free.
PFC Lesiecki only took 6 hours and 17 minutes to complete the filter feeder punishment. It’s a new record!!
