RE: The Fox Con

in Deep Dives2 years ago

The media (news media) is really one of the worse medias to be buried into politics like is seen in the Western world, and developing countries are now borrowing the leaf.

The news media should be there to announce significant changes in local and international events, and not take sides in sensitive matters like politics and climate change. However, I strongly believe its an attempt to make money, getting people emotionally involved is more profitable than just doing traditional journalism.

100% that! I'll go one step further and say that this problem can not be solved in a world where the number one priority of the socioeconomic system is making profits. Even in alternative online media "clickbait" has quickly become a mainstay because it's more profitable to incite anger, fear and hatred than have an honest discussion about anything.

Thanks for stopping by and responding!
