"Yes, bias and sensationalism. I personally strongly agree It’s not that the media sets out to be sensationalist; its business model leads it in that direction. That’s a massive problem which leads to a fixation on ratings to the exclusion of almost anything else. The outcome is a “ratings bubble” within which the media operate. The problem is multifaceted. Does media reporting change what we believe, or do our preferences shape what media we choose to consume in the first place? If we give more attention to this sensationalised and biased media, we don’t allow for media providers with verifiably objective reporting to thrive. At the same time, would it be puzzling if all that news did was provide verifiably objective information? I don’t reckon so but society as we know it would not be the same. We have far more people stopping objective, verifiable information from being spread across masses than those willing to provide. Another way talks loudest. " Here FUCKING here | |||

I think to simplify what you’re saying, is it’s up to us as individuals to understand what our “pop” media outlets narrative is and listen to the wider diverse media outlets. Understanding the agenda of the corporations objective is something, unfortunate as it is, but are unaware of. | |||

"The Metro headline today is somehow just as bad?? Referring to the guy as a sword killer? Evie " I mean, lol ok. But it’s classic stuff. ‘Mystic samurai suspect’ And the image they’ve used of him is him smiling with gold medals around his neck. Compare this to the constant reporting of other criminals? Compare this to the images used of Black *Victims* of crime? It’s literally so obvious the way the media does this I sometimes wonder if it’s all a wind up. | |||

Understanding the agenda of the corporations objective is something, unfortunate as it is, but are unaware of. " I’ve not seen the sun headlines for almost 4 decades since I worked in a factory age 16, and they don’t make it into my social Media. So I’m unaware of how it was reported I’d expect that would try and link to asylum seekers or failure of the Labour Party ….. I always thought it was a bit of a comic , dangerously mashing-up news , opinion and entertainment. But I can see how for some this style and also similarly DM and to a certain degree the Guardian for the lefties) fills a need. They want news, But they don’t want the police statement repeating - It’s boring, and they want to be entertained and have their biases reinforced. I used to like that Aussie newsreader who would read a line of news then pause and comment. Official facts can be boring. We don’t wanna know a man will appear in court on Monday, We wanna know how big his sword was some details of the attack injuries caused, Lucy tires of arms hanging off and what made him do it. If it was a known criminal and a drug addict or asylum seeker, we need gory details, And the Sun goes someway to giving us that, even if they make it all up. | |||

"I can only begin to imagine what it would like for my psyche, for some immutable trait about me to be so weaponised, even when that trait is one held by the victim not the perpetrator. It's fucking disgusting and toxic. I'm glad we're talking about it more. We should talk about it until it gets flushed like the turd of culture it is." I know this is unheard of!!

It's really easy to do - I've tried not reading it forever, and it works just as long as I'm constantly vigilant in case it sneaks up on me and forces me to read it.

I don’t read papers at all myself because I think they’re mostly opinion disguised as fact, but I don’t get the immature virtuous outrage to a paper that apparently “nobody wants to read”.
