So you hire left wingers to say left wing stuff.

2018-05-03 15:11:09 UTC  

same with audiance .. if one is slightly left leaning, a left leaning person will choose it.. but I think its down to the journalists that make the bias grow

2018-05-03 15:11:38 UTC  

Education really.

2018-05-03 15:11:44 UTC  

ANd I mean the public.

2018-05-03 15:12:06 UTC  

You cant expect anyone to voluntarily cut off any further profits they could have potentially earned.

2018-05-03 15:12:13 UTC  

it will be interesting to see how knife media or whateer its called grows

2018-05-03 15:13:04 UTC  

but tbh the more centrist something is, it will be called right wing and left wing

2018-05-03 15:13:24 UTC  

BBC is often called both

2018-05-03 15:13:58 UTC  

thats cuz BBC is government funded, so they are a mouthpiece of whatever political affiliation the government is

2018-05-03 15:14:09 UTC  

the left is always accusing it of right wing bias... and the right even insinuate that its red colouring favours the labour party

2018-05-03 15:14:54 UTC  

funny thing is they're both right this time

2018-05-03 15:14:57 UTC  

Skeptical buch innit?

2018-05-03 15:15:19 UTC  

since the current "conservative" government in britain, is run by a self proclaimed feminist

2018-05-03 15:15:51 UTC  

the current government is centre right wing

2018-05-03 15:16:07 UTC  

#freedankula

2018-05-03 15:16:19 UTC  

but like I said earlier.. less of the half the gov is made up of that party

2018-05-03 15:16:25 UTC  

Feminist, or closet egalitarian?

2018-05-03 15:16:43 UTC  

if i recall correctly, wage-gap prime minister

2018-05-03 15:16:51 UTC  

I would say may is a last generation feminist

2018-05-03 15:17:08 UTC  

not like jesse philips who is an MP for labour

2018-05-03 15:19:44 UTC  

but you see, even a left leading news site stands to gain from reporting on the event. They seem perfectly fine to be tabloid journalists when it comes to their side, all they need to do is find something to use to smear the kids organizing the event, or just link the event to the alt right, and BAM, their view base is spreading shit like crazy in fear

2018-05-03 15:20:56 UTC  

I guess its less about business to the people writing the articles... you would think someone would have a word from higher up

2018-05-03 15:21:18 UTC  

The thing is, I am always under the assumption people operated on greed.

2018-05-03 15:21:49 UTC  

But what Tim says about these journos create the opposite but affirm it as well

2018-05-03 15:22:03 UTC  

yeah but greed for what? greed for themselves? greed for their employers outlet? greed for fame? greed for cash?

2018-05-03 15:22:08 UTC  

Journos who take jobs at a net loss. Write shitty clickbait.

2018-05-03 15:22:20 UTC  

So theres the activism, and they know it gets them clicks.

2018-05-03 15:22:36 UTC  

Problem is, now its a race to see who can write the msot outrageous shit.

2018-05-03 15:22:45 UTC  

And most of them dont want to innovate or change.

2018-05-03 15:23:03 UTC  

I am skeptical of whether they actually believe their own crap or not.

2018-05-03 15:23:16 UTC  

yeah but tabloids have existed for decades... thats not really something new

2018-05-03 15:24:05 UTC  

Except, youd expect their journos to be paid better and arnt uni grads

2018-05-03 15:24:10 UTC  

hang on .. lemme find this prediction from Carl Sagan its really good...

2018-05-03 15:25:10 UTC  

ah.. cant post images... er... lemme see if I can get a link..

2018-05-03 15:25:50 UTC  

We arnt we all guilty?

2018-05-03 15:25:56 UTC  

Twitter, reddit

2018-05-03 15:26:18 UTC  

Id say few can keep concentrated on one thing these days.

2018-05-03 15:26:29 UTC  

Too many distractions and I find it really hard to break the cycle

2018-05-03 15:28:02 UTC  

I think that one line "unable to distinguish between what feels good and whats true"... was bang on

2018-05-03 15:28:26 UTC  

nah, people are perfectly able to distinguish,

They just rather be "good" than "just and true"
