Ego net cost.
Martin:Welcome to Ego Net cost live stream.
Martin:My name is Martin Lindskog.
Martin:I am Martin Lindeskog.
Martin:And this will be try to be a short and sweet session.
Martin:And then it will be edited and become episode 134 134 of Eco Net Cost podcast.
Martin:I will take a sip of tea here.
Martin:Cheers.
Martin:It's 07:00 a.m. in the morning here, central european time Friday, and it's around 10:00
Martin:p.m. pacific time in California in United States of America.
Martin:And that's why I have this thing about Tor and Torsta still first day in America.
Martin:And I will ventilate a bit with Thor's hammer, Mjolnir.
Martin:And I have a note card here.
Martin:I'm showing that now on the live video on the
Martin:camera.
Martin:We'll include that in the show notes.
Martin:Also a model notecard.
Martin:So the title is Pravda and propaganda tv.
Martin:And I did a reel on Instagram and played the music called Doctor Mabuse by the group, synth
Martin:pop group, synth wave group propaganda from Germany.
Martin:So this play with words and music, and Doctor Mabus was a character in Fritz Lang's movies,
Martin:and Pravda is truth in Russian.
Martin:And it was a communist state owned bulletin
Martin:newspaper in Soviet Union.
Martin:And recently it came out some news that I will
Martin:talk about here and the caricature when you see on the reels.
Martin:And I will to Instagram photo also with notes and the notecard.
Martin:It's a character caricature of me with a cap that I'm wearing here now on the live and my
Martin:face that young cox, a fine artist and cartoonist, have captured so well.
Martin:And it was funny when we're doing this as a, like a profile photo or caricature myself and
Martin:then turned into the artwork, podcast artwork of ego Netcast with the radio and myself
Martin:holding the radio as a caricature.
Martin:Then it was spelled ego Costnet.
Martin:And I saw that later on, so.
Martin:But still keeping this because you.
Martin:Yeah, it's a nice work of art and process and progress of developing an artwork and podcast
Martin:artwork.
Martin:So I wanted to include that.
Martin:And you could cast the net.
Martin:The word net cost is coming from the word
Martin:broadcast.
Martin:And we'll talk about tv now and radio and
Martin:podcasting.
Martin:So the broadcast to the masses or to big
Martin:public.
Martin:And you could call maybe my podcast as a
Martin:narrow, niched media.
Martin:So. And then you have a pod cast the capsule.
Martin:So it's interesting with that word casting.
Martin:So, in the news company outfit in Tennessee
Martin:called Tenethenne, t e n e t Media has been in the news.
Martin:And I've been wondering about that when you go to that site and I will include that in the
Martin:show notes.
Martin:So you could make up your own mind, read the
Martin:text and the description, how they use words and how we describe their service.
Martin:And then they have some, I think it's six individuals that they are promoting that have
Martin:their own often podcast or tv show.
Martin:They're active on social media and they are
Martin:leaning, you could say to the right and some are conservatives.
Martin:One that I like here that I had here on my notecard is Dave Rubin.
Martin:That was very rational in the past and had interesting intuse.
Martin:Now you could wonder a bit.
Martin:He has now said that he is hopefully I think
Martin:religious and christian.
Martin:Back in the day he was more open to rational
Martin:ideas and secular individual.
Martin:And then another character called Team Pool,
Martin:he doesn't have a cap, he often has hat on himself.
Martin:There have been rumors now and it has been, you could say a lawsuit.
Martin:I think about how this operation is financed and who's behind it.
Martin:If you go to that site, Tenet Media, again check out about company or contact persons or
Martin:pictures of the people behind this media company, could you find any and again read the
Martin:text and make up your mind about the style and so on.
Martin:So I wonder about that.
Martin:And so I will include an article in the show
Martin:notes to the Wired magazine.
Martin:Talk about this, how the support of these
Martin:individuals, I think it's six individuals have been a huge sum of money coming from ten media
Martin:to these to publish stuff.
Martin:And that's in a way is nothing wrong with that
Martin:or strange if you have like an agreement or contract or whatnot.
Martin:The thing is, who is behind this tenant media company?
Martin:And you read that in the Wired magazine and then it's this lawsuit, they don't mention
Martin:Tenet Media, but they talk about how these individuals could be influenced by an outlet
Martin:called Russia today RT, they have two letters, r and t, black letters and a green background.
Martin:And maybe you have seen that on YouTube and other places.
Martin:I remember I could say that as a footnote.
Martin:I saw a video there by RT about bartering
Martin:system in farmers and cattles and whatnot with silver.
Martin:And that I thought was pretty interesting in Texas.
Martin:But you should note that this is controlled by russian state.
Martin:And that's why I said this in the title propaganda tv and also used the word pravda,
Martin:the truth, the former propaganda bulletin from the Soviet Union.
Martin:And now today we have Russia today that pour in lots of money, funnel it through a media
Martin:company in Tennessee.
Martin:And then how will the independent mind, beware
Martin:of these six individuals.
Martin:That's a question to ask.
Martin:They have done statements by themselves.
Martin:And again, you make up your own mind if they
Martin:are forced to say certain things about Russia or nothing topics coming up or if they are
Martin:independent voices.
Martin:And again, who is behind the, who is behind
Martin:that media company? That could be interesting.
Martin:And what's the purpose and what's their intention and the goal that you could ask.
Martin:And I want to also make a note here about this guy, Tucker Carlson, what was at Fox News and
Martin:now he has his own show and he recently went to Russia and had a so called interview with
Martin:Putin.
Martin:Maybe this now could be something to think
Martin:about.
Martin:How about have been arranged?
Martin:And I know friend and also talking about cartoonists, Bosch Fostin, he did a post there
Martin:about Tucker Carlson's mail bag as he called it.
Martin:And yeah, what's going on there.
Martin:So something to look into in the future.
Martin:And again, when I have this and I will take another sip of tea, cheers that I could ramble
Martin:on, but I will try to make it short and sweet and I will come to that also why I doing that?
Martin:And I will see here it's live on YouTube, Facebook and hopefully also on LinkedIn.
Martin:And I will end here on what you could think about that when now you could be critical to
Martin:this media company and have question about these individuals and what kind of content
Martin:they are creating and publishing if they get this huge amount of money that are funneled in
Martin:one way or another through russian propaganda machine.
Martin:But with that said, how are the media landscape nowadays in for example, Sweden, the
Martin:main outlet here is called Swaris radio and Swarius television.
Martin:So that's the swedish radio and swedish television and that's public service tv.
Martin:And the thing with that is that is taxed, financed by taxes, swedish citizens directly.
Martin:You can't pick, choose, decide yourself.
Martin:You have to support it by taxes.
Martin:And their reasoning for that is that I have an out of air quotes, objective or independent or
Martin:neutral tv and radio.
Martin:And that you could figure about and think
Martin:about and think about if it's state owned, state financed by taxes.
Martin:And if you look at the leadership and management that you could think about that, I
Martin:will include that and see if I could find anything in English.
Martin:But look at for example, the chairman and his party book, as I say, his interest and
Martin:whatnot.
Martin:I want to end on a happy note or positive note
Martin:and say that like the characters and the satire and the hum humorist and parody and
Martin:stand up comedy where I see alternative in a positive way to a state owned controlled
Martin:media, the left leaning in this in the case here in Sweden.
Martin:So with that said, I want to do a short comment also on the schedule.
Martin:As I said now this is pretty early in the morning for me.
Martin:I want to do this because it's still 10:00 p.m. around that in California time or left
Martin:coast time to joke to be tours day and I will see here how I do that in the future.
Martin:I want to do three times a week doing some kind of live here on as I said using
Martin:Boomcaster that will be I will edit it and doing a podcast episode 134 of ego net cost
Martin:going out to YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn and when I started boomcast here I saw some
Martin:other thing that you could do.
Martin:Disputed it or like a destination.
Martin:I have to check what that was.
Martin:I will talk to my contact varietal.
Martin:That's interesting.
Martin:So thinking of doing that here on Thursdays
Martin:american time, then Friday morning here and then on Tuesday Tuesday tick with tea.
Martin:Also drinking tea at the same time.
Martin:That will also be then the next day in swedish
Martin:time on Wednesday morning and then during a Saturday Siesta again american time.
Martin:That will be in the afternoon, then California time or Pacific time and it will be around
Martin:midnight swedish time going in the weekend to Sunday there.
Martin:So we'll see how that will play out.
Martin:And I don't have support and I don't want to
Martin:have that from the Russia russian state owned companies.
Martin:I want to have it voluntarily by individuals.
Martin:So I will include in the show notes also how
Martin:you could support me for example captivate that.
Martin:I have my podcast here, ego Netcast.
Martin:They have a nice feature with a support page
Martin:that you could send a donation that goes through stripe.
Martin:So I will include that in the show notes support page if you want to support my work
Martin:and I will again on Tea Party media podcast I will continue to talk about value for value.
Martin:So with that said, I will take another sip here of tea and talk to you soon again.
Martin:Cheers.
Martin:Bye for now.
