I have lost a lot of trust in the media. And I am someone who had more trust than other people. I am always a little bit too naive to trust in them.
I am leftwinger I want to add this at the beginning if you are annoyed by politics you probably should not read it.
It is a shame what the media often does. If they make a mistake about an incident and spread this kind of misinformation they barely correct it transparantly. I don't say all of them are fake news. But they should admit if they were wrong.They only do this when the pressure is high. It is very easy with their power to spread messages as big headlines and making huge stories. But if they are wrong about something they should openly admit it afterwards and don't pretend like it didn't happen.
There will be probably many answers that will say they do this on purpose. I am not sure to what a degree this is true or not. It probably depends on the news outlet and the issue.
For example in The Sun article about SS they smear this forum as death cult and pretend like the people here would sell mugs and T-shirts. This is a blatant obious and evil lie. This should support their narrative of this website as death cult. And they get away with it. There are absolutely no consequences. 98% of the readers won't question it. They should correct this lie and make at least a side note that this information was wrong. But they will never do that.
I think CNN/MSNB are cheerleaders for the Democratic party and Fox News/Newsmax the same on the Republican side. Critical and unbiased reporting is seldom. Often they are too scared to attack the powerful and instead report in their favor. I probably will also do a thread about Manufacturing consent in the future.
I personally dislike Donald Trump. I want to be upfront with it. However Russia gate was really a hoax by the media. It imploded. I would never vote Republican but I have to admit that. Trump never was Putin's puppet. They went with this narrative and still they are going with it despite the fact they barely have any evidence for it.
Here is another thing Republicans might like. I think the media has politicized the origin of the of the Covid pandemic. Still I am agnoistic about what is really the truth. But the media hated Trump so much that they made this question way too partisan. Democrats were in favor of the zoonosis theory and Republicans believed in the lab theory.
Okay after this remarks here my lefty worldview. The media is truely evil when it comes to health care. They support the pharma industry way too much. They only support corporate democrats who don't want to change anything. They only care about big donors and powerful lobbyists. It is ridiculous that the powerful can get away with it pretending they could not change the disaster of the health care system. Noone gives a fuck about the people who are dying because of that.
Yeah and I really dislike Fox News and Newsmax: Their reporting about homeless people is really disgusting. There are a lot of reports which I consider as dishonest.
It is a shame how they treated Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. Both are heroes. They want to kill Assange and the media just repeated the evil smearing of the the intelligence agencies. This is absolutely disgusting. He is innocent and they torture him in this embassy.
The media is way too obsessed by the culture war. I think it should distract us from more important issues. They get high ratings for talking about it. But the material well-being of people is way more important than this articificial dichotomy.
Yeah I will get a lot of hate for this. It is just my opinion. Feel free to disagree with it.
