What is news. I don’t think there is any corporate media that can be called news any more. They all lobbied for ‘news as entertainment’ and got it. They don’t even call themselves “News” in the informative unbiased reputable sense.
US “news” is billionaire propaganda designed to push whatever world view best supports their financial interests and/or any bizarre philosophy they’ve decided is most correct
I wonder if there’s an evolutionary reason for this. It might have been beneficial when we lived in smaller tightnit groups. Being a part of the group was more beneficial for safety than the alternative, so we tended to hold the views of the group regardless of whether the views are correct or not. No way to test this unfortunately, and it’s kind of an armchair hypothesis, but it kind of makes sense.
It sounded to me like people have become more distrustful towards news media. Seems understandable.
It is and it applies at every level of social interactions. People will compromise their smaller, less important values as long as the main, currently most important facet remains the focus.
A clear example of this is the crazy/hot index. Both men and women ignore the failings of their chosen companion as long as the value of sex is greater than the suffering of all else combined.

Yea, all those idiots eating up lies on the other side need to learn the same obvious truths as I already know!
