Ego net cost.

Welcome to Ego Net cost live stream.

My name is Martin Lindskog.

I am Martin Lindeskog.

And this will be try to be a short and sweet session.

And then it will be edited and become episode 134 134 of Eco Net Cost podcast.

I will take a sip of tea here.

Cheers.

It's 07:00 a.m. in the morning here, central european time Friday, and it's around 10:00

p.m. pacific time in California in United States of America.

And that's why I have this thing about Tor and Torsta still first day in America.

And I will ventilate a bit with Thor's hammer, Mjolnir.

And I have a note card here.

I'm showing that now on the live video on the

camera.

We'll include that in the show notes.

Also a model notecard.

So the title is Pravda and propaganda tv.

And I did a reel on Instagram and played the music called Doctor Mabuse by the group, synth

pop group, synth wave group propaganda from Germany.

So this play with words and music, and Doctor Mabus was a character in Fritz Lang's movies,

and Pravda is truth in Russian.

And it was a communist state owned bulletin

newspaper in Soviet Union.

And recently it came out some news that I will

talk about here and the caricature when you see on the reels.

And I will to Instagram photo also with notes and the notecard.

It's a character caricature of me with a cap that I'm wearing here now on the live and my

face that young cox, a fine artist and cartoonist, have captured so well.

And it was funny when we're doing this as a, like a profile photo or caricature myself and

then turned into the artwork, podcast artwork of ego Netcast with the radio and myself

holding the radio as a caricature.

Then it was spelled ego Costnet.

And I saw that later on, so.

But still keeping this because you.

Yeah, it's a nice work of art and process and progress of developing an artwork and podcast

artwork.

So I wanted to include that.

And you could cast the net.

The word net cost is coming from the word

broadcast.

And we'll talk about tv now and radio and

podcasting.

So the broadcast to the masses or to big

public.

And you could call maybe my podcast as a

narrow, niched media.

So. And then you have a pod cast the capsule.

So it's interesting with that word casting.

So, in the news company outfit in Tennessee

called Tenethenne, t e n e t Media has been in the news.

And I've been wondering about that when you go to that site and I will include that in the

show notes.

So you could make up your own mind, read the

text and the description, how they use words and how we describe their service.

And then they have some, I think it's six individuals that they are promoting that have

their own often podcast or tv show.

They're active on social media and they are

leaning, you could say to the right and some are conservatives.

One that I like here that I had here on my notecard is Dave Rubin.

That was very rational in the past and had interesting intuse.

Now you could wonder a bit.

He has now said that he is hopefully I think

religious and christian.

Back in the day he was more open to rational

ideas and secular individual.

And then another character called Team Pool,

he doesn't have a cap, he often has hat on himself.

There have been rumors now and it has been, you could say a lawsuit.

I think about how this operation is financed and who's behind it.

If you go to that site, Tenet Media, again check out about company or contact persons or

pictures of the people behind this media company, could you find any and again read the

text and make up your mind about the style and so on.

So I wonder about that.

And so I will include an article in the show

notes to the Wired magazine.

Talk about this, how the support of these

individuals, I think it's six individuals have been a huge sum of money coming from ten media

to these to publish stuff.

And that's in a way is nothing wrong with that

or strange if you have like an agreement or contract or whatnot.

The thing is, who is behind this tenant media company?

And you read that in the Wired magazine and then it's this lawsuit, they don't mention

Tenet Media, but they talk about how these individuals could be influenced by an outlet

called Russia today RT, they have two letters, r and t, black letters and a green background.

And maybe you have seen that on YouTube and other places.

I remember I could say that as a footnote.

I saw a video there by RT about bartering

system in farmers and cattles and whatnot with silver.

And that I thought was pretty interesting in Texas.

But you should note that this is controlled by russian state.

And that's why I said this in the title propaganda tv and also used the word pravda,

the truth, the former propaganda bulletin from the Soviet Union.

And now today we have Russia today that pour in lots of money, funnel it through a media

company in Tennessee.

And then how will the independent mind, beware

of these six individuals.

That's a question to ask.

They have done statements by themselves.

And again, you make up your own mind if they

are forced to say certain things about Russia or nothing topics coming up or if they are

independent voices.

And again, who is behind the, who is behind

that media company? That could be interesting.

And what's the purpose and what's their intention and the goal that you could ask.

And I want to also make a note here about this guy, Tucker Carlson, what was at Fox News and

now he has his own show and he recently went to Russia and had a so called interview with

Putin.

Maybe this now could be something to think

about.

How about have been arranged?

And I know friend and also talking about cartoonists, Bosch Fostin, he did a post there

about Tucker Carlson's mail bag as he called it.

And yeah, what's going on there.

So something to look into in the future.

And again, when I have this and I will take another sip of tea, cheers that I could ramble

on, but I will try to make it short and sweet and I will come to that also why I doing that?

And I will see here it's live on YouTube, Facebook and hopefully also on LinkedIn.

And I will end here on what you could think about that when now you could be critical to

this media company and have question about these individuals and what kind of content

they are creating and publishing if they get this huge amount of money that are funneled in

one way or another through russian propaganda machine.

But with that said, how are the media landscape nowadays in for example, Sweden, the

main outlet here is called Swaris radio and Swarius television.

So that's the swedish radio and swedish television and that's public service tv.

And the thing with that is that is taxed, financed by taxes, swedish citizens directly.

You can't pick, choose, decide yourself.

You have to support it by taxes.

And their reasoning for that is that I have an out of air quotes, objective or independent or

neutral tv and radio.

And that you could figure about and think

about and think about if it's state owned, state financed by taxes.

And if you look at the leadership and management that you could think about that, I

will include that and see if I could find anything in English.

But look at for example, the chairman and his party book, as I say, his interest and

whatnot.

I want to end on a happy note or positive note

and say that like the characters and the satire and the hum humorist and parody and

stand up comedy where I see alternative in a positive way to a state owned controlled

media, the left leaning in this in the case here in Sweden.

So with that said, I want to do a short comment also on the schedule.

As I said now this is pretty early in the morning for me.

I want to do this because it's still 10:00 p.m. around that in California time or left

coast time to joke to be tours day and I will see here how I do that in the future.

I want to do three times a week doing some kind of live here on as I said using

Boomcaster that will be I will edit it and doing a podcast episode 134 of ego net cost

going out to YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn and when I started boomcast here I saw some

other thing that you could do.

Disputed it or like a destination.

I have to check what that was.

I will talk to my contact varietal.

That's interesting.

So thinking of doing that here on Thursdays

american time, then Friday morning here and then on Tuesday Tuesday tick with tea.

Also drinking tea at the same time.

That will also be then the next day in swedish

time on Wednesday morning and then during a Saturday Siesta again american time.

That will be in the afternoon, then California time or Pacific time and it will be around

midnight swedish time going in the weekend to Sunday there.

So we'll see how that will play out.

And I don't have support and I don't want to

have that from the Russia russian state owned companies.

I want to have it voluntarily by individuals.

So I will include in the show notes also how

you could support me for example captivate that.

I have my podcast here, ego Netcast.

They have a nice feature with a support page

that you could send a donation that goes through stripe.

So I will include that in the show notes support page if you want to support my work

and I will again on Tea Party media podcast I will continue to talk about value for value.

So with that said, I will take another sip here of tea and talk to you soon again.

Cheers.

Bye for now.
