Feeding the rage machine with your attention is so 2016
Some of you have forgotten that "the news" is engineered to make you angry and afraid, and it shows.
Discussion
they should call it "olds" at this point
how often do you actually hear anything new on there these days
I dunno cause i pay zero attention
Legacy media falls under the “if it’s free - you’re the product” heuristic.
I see it as more of a mind controlling system than anything else these days.
It provides the context and the frame.
Once this is set the discourse is controlled and the borders erected in the scope of what most people think about a given topic. This frame becomes the governing frame, then anyone outside this appears to be outside the culture and non-consensus, and for most they won’t believe anything is “true” until the mind control machine confirms it is so.
one day i was reading news, and was just like "what am i reading this for?", how is this benefitting me
couldn't answer it, so i've never really checked since
