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
i prefer to label them, respectively, righteous indignation and voicing cries of the unborn - the voice of the voiceless...
prolly just takes people time to learn how to manage... particularly as those emotions arent welcome in bovine consumer society, being seen as disruptive to profits.
meanwhile, I'll be outside on the steps whistling while I sharpen my whip.
You'd think the phrase "regularly scheduled programming" would have tipped the masses off, but alas, the programming was effective.
