> connecting people at mass is bad
I would have thought that the problem is elites lying and being extraordinarily selfish and working for causes that don't like being exposed to the public and not infrequently only for the benefit of a small part of the population, so that people don't trust more official channels of information in the first place.
- tajen 9y agoI’m not sure your message was clear enough. You’re adressing the example of CNN twisting reality so much to serve Democrats that most of the population now distrusts the media and trusts peer-to-peer information networks, I believe. With the compound problem that the comment above yours blames it all on the people. Yes, people want a narration of reality that matches their direct observations. Like, how can group be mediatized as uniformly good if they repeatedly perform bombings, looting and if they say they want to perform more bombing. Facebook comes to the rescue because media doesn’t inform people about real things. Yep, cognitive dissonance.
