- LeifCarrotson 11y agoNo, that shows the state of paranoia that the original news wants to convey to sell more media.
- dmix 11y agoThe media is part of contemporary society. As are the police who originally tweeted the drone hitting plane angle, the media for reporting on it, and the consumers who love a good fear-ridden headline. The culture of fear is a widespread human fallibility, not an evil corporate invention. The fact rationality, and how to perceive the world without tripping over our human biases/fallacies, is not taught with any priority in society is the real issue. That is the root cause of the anti-intellectualism that's so widespread IMO. No-one in the chain approached the topic with any level of skepticism. Just retweeting and reblogging a story without any solid evidence, giving it more and more credibility.
