The worst is when rich people interview other rich people about their rich person thing (e.g. Ivanka Trump purchasing an island), so that poor people can watch it on television. That level of narcissism and arrogance is just fucking astonishing to me. You can be rich and also just shut the absolute fuck up about it.

My eyes were practically bleeding while watching some local news coverage at a bar, fairly recently.

It was literally two geriatric fascists in cowboy hats yelling at each other over the image of a young black man with facial tattoos in an orange prison jumpsuit. The debate was whether the local PD had gone woke and become complicit in street crime or just needed another zillion dollars of additional funding to fight the urban menace.

Thanks Frieren!

Sports coverage is not news; there's always a sports segment in every 'news' program. Entertainment masquerading as news. Kill Rupert Murdoch and his progeny.

how much money does google make? billions of dollars a year

most of it comes from manipulating your opinion, one way or another.

this makes me sad because newspaper people are not rich at all

city desk editors and reporters and photojournalist and fact checkers are poverty wage jobs.

they are not the rich.

The existence of “Earned Media” implies and proves the existence of “Unearned Media” (the rich and privileged paying other rich and privileged people)
