And he’s quite right to point out that the media loves obsessing over the dumb shit (like Palmer’s penis and McDonald’s) and spends far less time running down real shit.
Yeah, it’s the media, not websites like Reddit or Lemmy, that obsess over menial things like “Trump did a campaign thing at a McDonalds!!! This CANNOT stand!!!”
Totally not you guys. It’s always “the other”! It’s never because YOU only engage in meaningless shit. It’s never because YOU give those stories clicks because it makes you feel better about yourself. It’s “the media” that are doing these things!
We’re just everyday people talking in a room, audience maybe 1000. Broadcast news, is broadcast literally everywhere. The onus is definitely on them to shift the narrative up
As we all fucking should.

I respect that he points out that stuff too, but… Supply and demand, right?
Supply and demand has no place in serious journalism - that should be the domain of tabloids.
I agree with you about how it should be. I was merely pointing out how it is.

Lul you’re posting this on Lemmy…
I guess you’re the only person on the Internet that is not whatever you’re accusing everyone else of.

Brilliant observation. Everyone says to “be better,” but forgets that applies to themselves.
