What is chosen to get sent out as a push notification and why is a question more people should ask about the news.

There was actually a Guardian article about how one of the most powerful people this election is the relatively junior person on shift that day who decides what goes out as BBC Breaking News.

Which news get highlighted on everyone's ever-present pocket computer is a more important editorial decision in 2024 than which stories get on the front page of the dead tree newspaper. And what the Times and others choose to assign this importance to is often... not great!

I finally turned them off a few weeks ago. If something big happens, one of my other 25 news apps will let me know.

I think the logic is "people laugh at RFKjr & here's a funny story" but like, it's not news he feeds ravens or an emu did an emu thing to his wife. At best it's a human interest story and maybe not even that

from 2017-2021, almost every time I got a breaking news push I expected to see the words “accidental nuclear exchange” and instead some percentage of the time I saw something like “dogs and cats, a retrospective,” I had to fight the urge to throw my phone into a body of water.

also what they say. lots of the supreme court notifications completely mistate the holding and how radical right they are. often its just "liberals or conservative wins" when the liberal wins just keep the status quo (that's existed for 100 years) and often lay the ground work for the future change

What's so weird is that considering how he's been ostracized from the family, it's not even their usual star fucking instincts kicking in. It's not like highlighting Jeb in hopes of getting invited to hang with the family at Kennebunkport.

Raving lunatic running for POTUS as chaos agent feeds birds. Struggling to see how ANY news org that's the least bit serious finds the bird part newsworthy on any level, to any extent. NYT is now regularly beclowning itself and is halfway down the rabbit hole itself. JFC.

That headline is also so shockingly inaccurate that we should ask why it was written. RFK Jr doesn't "keep the birds as pets". They are wild ravens he began feeding only a month before the article. If RFK Jr DID keep ravens as pets, that would be illegal under both state and federal law. 1/

This isn’t news, it’s entertainment, which I really wish NYT wouldn’t waste push notifications on.
