I've decided I'm going to repost this every day to manifest it.
More sensational, divisive posts win on social. I dislike that a lot, but I also really like how this episode came out 🤔
I guess I'll say: I go through clips featuring Donald Trump, Tony Blair, Barack Obama, Malcolm Turnbull, and about Jacinda Ardern. Everyone thinks the media's against them.
Sharing a gift link. It's quite long and, while matter of fact, does have a graphic bit.
What strikes me: it frames everything as a matter of history, rather than an ongoing issue.
That, plus the way the children and women harmed are portrayed.

Three things associated with growing news bias:
*New tech makes it cheaper to produce information
*Fewer people own mainstream news
*The audience gets more divided
*Influencers call media "crooked" or biased

My town has a tradition where the seniors who did K-12 in the district go back to their elementary schools in their caps and gown. There's a parade through the halls where they high-five the little kids and a reception where they can thank their former teachers. It's absolutely lovely.
