listening post here are some of the stories we're covering this week joey had a ball so not only looks like a sure win for the presidency in brazil with a little help from whatsapp and his friends in the meat threatening behavior and the moscow newspaper that's learned to take threats against its journalists seriously the politician the british papers love to beat up on he has plans for the u.k. media and for me the story personally starts with nine eleven and friedman exposed the reputation of one of saudi arabia's defenders in the american media is amongst the casualties of the jamal khashoggi story we're going back to brazil this week where the second and final round of presidential elections takes place sunday the twenty eight year but also not all victory seems all but see both so not only is a former paratrooper with an agenda straight out of the far right a penchant for rhetoric that's massaging mystic racist and threatening and a campaign that's been powered by social media most notably on whatsapp one

confronted by reports that corporations have been spending big spreading misinformation on social media to help get him into office well so not all called the newspaper that broke that story the sound pollo fake news sound familiar among the networks in balsa not a. corner is a corpse t.v. it's owned by a billionaire bishop a dear miss sado who heads one of brazil's biggest evangelical churches journalists at headquarters have been ordered to keep their coverage of bowls so not all positive and to report on is a leftist opponent from nando had died either naturally or negatively our starting point this week is the world's fifth most populous country brazil. in brazil it's never been easier to get information it's never been harder to sort fact from fiction and fake news fact checkers there are working overtime. is struck

want to see you it's been brutal the volume is huge we have twenty four media outlets reproducing our fact checking work t.v. channel it's radio stations newspapers and websites we've managed to draw attention to the problem but we're under no illusions that we can stop it and make the truth overcome all the lies that to be told i'd say it's over that point i mean. much of the misinformation is happening on what's app which is the preeminent messaging platform in brazil more than half the population uses the service whatsapp is a political force there like nowhere else. joey or both or not all entered the campaign as an outsider from a small party knowing he could not count on coverage or advertising time on mainstream media outlets he and his supporters went all in on social media and it's paid off. according to an investigation published in brazil's most widely read newspaper disarm power also narrows what's app offensive has been secretly boost by

several unnamed corporations those companies paid digital marketing firms experts at some of the dark arts of the web a total of three point two million dollars to push pro both and. messaging attacking his opponent had died with stories many of which were made up. under brazilian electoral law such undisclosed corporate donations to a political campaign are illegal also nado called for your disarm paolo's investigation fake news. follow. morphic you do. in facing up with ourselves we run a full fact check on the story with sources who deal directly with the agencies responsible for sending these messages we concluded that there has been undeclared support from businesses for a presidential candidate and that is against electoral law in brazil this is been

subverting the campaign. has denied all accusations after all if he admitted any wrongdoing he would be admitting to an electoral crime. silly question yours question we cannot know for sure whether both or not all was aware about businessmen taking such action in his favor the fact is he has a tendency to do pete fake stories untruths that do the rounds on social media put instance in many interviews he mentions a book obviously the will of one that supposedly promoted homosexuality in brazilian schools during fernando had ads time as education minister in reality this book had never been included in any school syllabus weakness. usually show your boss and i don't does not share fake material he leaves the bulk of that to others but he did share this image on twitter purportedly showing a death threat against when it emerged that the picture was actually two years old

had nothing to do with politics and had been photo shopped bosso not all deleted. the formerly fringe politician finds himself well ahead in the polls despite rhetoric that once would have kept him out of the mainstream. i thought it was ill. and in two thousand and sixteen when he voted to impeach former leftist president dilma rousseff he dedicated his vote to. intelligence officer who ran torture programs in the one nine hundred seventy s. among those tortured mistress south herself. in a campaign rice with misinformation social media companies have been slow to react over the past three months facebook has taken down hundreds of accounts and pages what it calls

a coordinated network built for sowing division and spreading misinformation measures that appear to be too little and in the case of this selection to lick. the sentiment of social media platforms keep saying they are neutral but this is false because their algorithms decide what content each person receives that makes them editors but they have never taken their responsibilities as editors seriously they announce partnerships with fact checking agencies and newspapers to look like they're doing something but it is completely ineffective the issue is the business of social media these platforms are fueled by hatred and anger and negative feelings that motivate people to engage in conversations and spend more time on the apps. that use. it is a fax that brazilians trust people who are close to them more than institutions like the media or the judiciary for example this campaign has taken place mainly on social media primarily on whatsapp people receive information from those who are

close to them and believe these people suspicious or so. and then there's the issue of polarization fi can use appeals to people's emotions so if the content you receive is reinforcing your existing beliefs if it makes you feel confident that you are right you are more inclined to believe it than something that contests or challenges your beliefs the conception of your. having ascended to the front runner position via social media shy your boss or not or has since found backers on the mainstream soft core. vs brazil second biggest network it's owned by a dear macedo who also heads a major evangelical church. has not officially endorsed both or not zero on the air it didn't really have to macedo posted his endorsement of the candidates on facebook. ever since then miss a dose news outlets have given both

a surplus of air time minus the tough questions they ask use opponents only do it because it will show. you might want to hear. it even though you know the clear bias in coverage has prompted journalists under macedo is employed to leak stories of shameless favoritism to other news outlets like the online site the interests. of t.v. has always had direct interference from its owners but now the news room is really being forced to go against the stablish journalistic principles this morning on a radio station that belongs to them they interviewed both so now but only one journalist could ask questions the others had to stay quiet for the user to conjure up in the middle at the end one of the journalists got up and said for the energy this is. also i've written an article about journalists from headquarters on seven website who have told me that they're no longer publishing their names against any

political report the articles are all byline simply are seven this is an absolutely clear sign that no one a headquarters wants to get their name dirty in this mud machine this venture must sit down while longer star bishop jim a seder has a long history as a public figure and has shown the ability to get close to most political parties he's a pragmatist if nothing else once upon a time he was close to the workers' party this time around he has found an ideological alliance with both sinatra we can see a clear proximity not around economic or political ideas but in matters of culture and a gym a sado will likely benefit from that partnership as well as a precedent. media owners usually do when their chosen candidate takes power although show your boss or not having run most of his campaign online may feel less indebted than most one more thing the brazilian media might consider as the former

military man prepares for the presidency that torture cheap both or not all chose to honor that day in brasilia he didn't just have political activists as his victims he also ordered and oversaw the torture of news reporters are your boss or not all does not mince his words but brazilian journalists will want to watch their . we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers joanna jo a moscow paper known for pushing the journalistic boundaries in russia says that one of its reporters has been threatened what's the story that no violent as yet well last week a funeral wreath was sent to the newspaper's office followed the next day by a basket with a severed head in it a touch where a couple of not. it's one of it's read to novaya gazeta us t.v. editor greetings to you and corrupt cough another note said traitor to his country

now the journalist being referred to in that note was dennis corrupt what kind of work has been doing well you recently wrote an article on yevgeny goshen a russian businessman indicted in washington for allegedly interfering in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election and he reported that goshen has ties to president putin go way back or straight to the killing of an opposition blogger based that story on interviews he says he did with one of precautions former security aides west since disappeared now it's not surprising the newspaper takes threats against its journalists as real over the last eighteen years five of its reporters have been murdered ok moving on now to the murder of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi last week we looked at how some prominent news voices in the western media have been called out for their pro saudi writing some news outlets starting to change their tune a little but the kingdom still has plenty of supporters on the airwaves who and where are they well richard for years pundits and the anglo-american media have

talked up saudi arabia as a bastion of stability in the middle east which is debatable to say the least but following killing most news outlets in the west have been more critical of crown prince mohammed bin solomon in particular and the u.s. saudi relationship in general and now the same cannot be said of fox news two weeks after his first went missing a fox news anchor said this. this was a real disappointing because this was our last hope of any stability in the middle east to fight back on the terrorists from iran do you walk away from that when you know that this was our you know we needed that partnership with the saudis to fight the terrorists in iran still not entirely on surprising given that we're talking about fox news but what about saudi arabia's allies in the gulf are they any better have they been any better at scrutinizing their powerful neighbor. not at all turning into coverage in gulf countries such as behind united arab emirates

journalists seem anything but willing to criticize the king and this is what some of them had to say. want to could. he make it into theater that he did them a tabby had minute to look weird to have with the minimal who went in that you see it in you the money and you was to thirty laila made it out of the will then the well. come and look at the minister shura in the room looked at the law to be at the saudi official to. see what is the money for a dollar means a lot of your listeners are you ok there was you know the letting him out on this. and want to get together another or would. you want me to assess that it is the crowd what the media you know what but i but men would have nobody and i need one. and what did those three reports have in common well they all use the s word stability which seems to matter more to those channels and governments that onan in the life of a journalist ok thanks joe. in more than

a decade of producing the listening post we have often examined the ways in which the news media have grown into essential components of political debates take the u.k. for example where jeremy corbett leads the biggest political party in terms of membership in western europe his supporters say the corporate media primarily in the print sector are out to smear him plain and simple since his left wing policies are a threat to the establishment that they represent it's a contention his critics reject outright amidst all the mudslinging corben has willingly waded into the fray with some proposals that should he ever come to power would change the rules of the media game in britain the listening posts flow phillips now on the debate around jeremy corben his ideas for altering publicly owned broadcasting siphoning money from some tech giants and directing it to the b.b.c. and curbing the power of media conglomerates. they shouted hours in the soft end but why do you think you can trump. a lot of the i

disagree and why and why the evidence british politicians are rarely given an easy ride by the media and that's for good reason but for jeremy cobain the ride has been particularly rough so your future as labor leader is absolutely intact you know considered for a moment whether you as leader damaging rise of a.b.c. is reporting tonight. in twenty fifteen koeppen this elected leader of britain's opposition party the labor party and in the three years since much of the british news coverage has often ridiculed the caricature demonized him and his policies. his thing about the media representations of misrepresentations of jeremy corbin is that they're not particularly consistent so one minute he is a dangerous terrorist sympathizer. the other hand he's portrayed as ineffectual

as a pacifist you know vegetarian leafy you know ever heard before. where the result of negative coverage or not corban has long held ideas about the media how to rethink how to restructure it our media in many cases is failing now this isn't just the view of someone who has had shall we say interesting relationship with the media particularly over the last three years. a few months back ka-boom is invited to speak at one of the british media's key industry events the edinburgh television festival and he used that platform to launch his vision for the future of journalism on the national public broadcaster the b.b.c. had a few ideas on how it's funded and how it should be governed currently the broadcasters board members are appointed in part by the government and the rest selected by b.b.c. senior management wants to make this more democratic he said that the public taxes

pay for the broadcaster as well as b.b.c. employees should be the ones who choose the board. he has this view that the politicised. it would be a good idea some form of elected officials at the top of the organization is one of those things that seems like a. theory but if you create a system whereby some sort of executive board elected the next step to having elections is. because of a plaything for political parties so. this is. actually holding elections to determine who has a say in how operates is the very thing that would make it highly politicized. and when it comes to diversity called for full transparency about who works at the broadcaster not just in terms of ethnicity but in terms of class too. so here's the

thing about england only seven percent of u.k. schoolchildren go to private schools and yet if you have this private school background you want more likely to get top jobs in the media look at the qur'an fell tragedy that happened in twenty seventeen presidents. have been trying to reach out to media saying look we are being left in unsafe accommodation and won't work that is going to take tragedy tragedy to get people to listen. these are the people who are shut our of news rooms and they're also the same people who might be plugged into our stories into communities that more privileged people just can't reach that's a grave failing of the media establishment. corbin's rise to prominence comes as a surprise to many but his appeal a left leaning socialist politics and yes to century resonates when it comes to

current debates on the rise of unregulated tech giants the public realm doesn't have to sit back and watch as a few mega tech corporations hoovered up digital rights assets and ultimately our money the u.k. media it's broadcast as honest newspapers a suffering as big tech sucks the life and money out of. so like many others corbin is calling for them to be reined in taxed more but he's gone further he says the proceeds from that tax should fund public broadcasting as well as cash strapped investigative journalism and local media. the suggestion that tech giants and so-called platform and opportunities should make a financial contribution to subsidize news in the public interest is actually not a top radical. it's been a longstanding precedent in media policymaking that there are some

aspects of the media that are not profitable that are not even necessarily commercially viable but are absolutely essential. to the public interest. reinforcing. democracy the british media is dominated by a handful of powerful conglomerates just three companies control seventy one percent of the national newspaper market top of that list is rupert murdoch's news u.k. housed in the building right behind me news u.k. owns the sun britain's biggest selling paper as well as the sun on sunday the times and the sunday times it also used to work in the news of the world but that paper was shut down after revelations that journalists there had been hacking the phone of murdered schoolgirl million doubtless. that scandal led to a two part leveson inquiry the first part called for

a state backed press regulator that all newspapers would have to sign up to face the consequences the conservative government rejected it. the second part would have got to the relationship between newspapers and the police in march of this year the government abandoned kugan wants to recall leveson to hold the media to account for past crimes and to push the future regulation. of the media. is strong ground for korban of its ups in. the broader time called the making all caps it is but i think it also plays to the notion that there has been a closeness between the conservative party in particular and the media barons which suggest to me corbin is something very much to push against given that he sees himself as the most amount of people jeremy called me or you know that you know that pushback has become an increasingly sisyphean task for calling his speech

came at the height of a story that had been hitting the headlines this week in week out accusations of anti semitism within the labor party often targeting the leader himself describe what you could have saved action which is what. was to correct this month a study produced by the media reform coalition took a close look at some two hundred fifty articles and broadcast news clips covering the anti semitism story more than ninety of them were found to be either misleading or inaccurate. what we have seen across the national press and largely echoed in broadcasters is something that i think is truly unprecedented and that's not so much in the kind of critical stance that they've taken towards corporate policy platforms that he represents but just in what we know from

research with that we produced has been a systematic subversion of basic. journalistic news for. when jeremy corbyn ran to become labour's leader he triggered the biggest party membership surge in british history media across the country hadn't seen him coming they discounted dismissed him after. and three years in the media are still grappling with how to deal with him and the revival of the socialist politics that he has inspired a politics which for korban must involve a radical overhaul a structural reform of the media itself. back to saudi arabia and the story the coverage of saudi issues in the u.s. news media the kid gloves with which the kingdom has been treated for so long seems to have shifted the reportedly premeditated murder of a journalist lured to a consulate under false pretenses has had that effect however some of the voices

that constantly defended saudi arabia and were in the thrall of the new crown prince's alleged reforms are still out there notorious case in point thomas friedman of the new york times he was interviewed on c.n.n. this past week where he defended his previous columns out came the amateur media critics in the comments section and they dismantled the friedmans lamentable track record of getting it wrong on the middle east better than we ever could we'll leave it to them and we'll see you next time. he will you too quick to call him and brand him the reform to take us through what was going through your mind on what you saw in him that embedded today. so let me start from the beginning for me christiane is one of those i want to be on your show as i thought it was in time to . and for me the story personally starts with nine eleven.

and now some people said you know what tom it's all of it's all it's all fake because look what he's doing in yemen look when he's you know people that he was arresting here and my attitude was maybe there's clearly a downside here there's clearly an upside and i thought it was worth investing a little hope in the upside if we could herb the downside.

right. that is a perfect formula for authoritarianism and here let me ask you straight up korea is the two state solution now the lights are on and there's no wind up front which hangs on and which is in. indonesia's search and rescue agency rushes to search for wreckage after a lion jet crashes in the java sea.

. there is no evidence against. the war so that will certainly it's it's there were toggery operation search and rescue efforts and i just wondered myself too to pass from where we've been covering. you know of the graves and tsunami they're having across the. clear so really difficult at this stage and speculating has to be pointed out it's it's difficult to see how well that could have played on. this plane going down to the job or to yell and say to you i the conditions were perfect for flying that no doubt once they get their hands on the flight recorder the black boxes well that. about exactly why this plane has gone down the job asleep for the moment well we'll leave it there of course follow events with you through the day thank you.

later seen in that area it's not example of just how the turkish all sorts seem to be leaking information they're leaking it's on a day where we have seen the saudi prosecutor chief arrive in turkey for talks with his counterpart we understand the turks are going to be putting even more pressure on the saudis wanting says specifically about how the saudi prosecution or investigators have gone on in their questioning of these eighteen men that have been arrested in saudi arabia it's believed that elmo zany is not part of that group we also understand there's going to be great focus in these talks with the saudi prosecutor focusing on these so-called turkish collaborates who the saudis side of the investigation say was used it's believed potentially even to have handled crucial she's body a lot of analysis questions that the turks are hoping to get information on it's
