Mainstream Media Bias

[BlueSwan]

Sensationalist.

But who does sensationalism benefit? A lot of sensationalism revolves around stories of crime, terror and curruption. Stories that appeal to our fears, stories that make us angry and makes us want to obtain protection from those that wish to harm us. Stories like these tend to benefit populist right wingers who present easy solutions to complex problems.

This is much more important than who journalists support privately and much more important than which talking heads are on political shows, which usually only the already partisan people watch.

I absolutely love how we're just resuming a thread from the origin of the forum and acting like it's no big deal.

LOL! Didn't even notice it when I made my reply.
