When I look in the mirror, I don't see someone wanting clearly biased, opinionated, decontextualized, or downright unfacts, trying to be spun as news, with zero retractions or apologies when it's called out. Those are the reasons journalism sucks, and it has nothing to do with what I see in my mirror.
- bobthepanda 7y agoAre you representative of the country at large, though? I think the parent comment was using we to refer to the collective.
- renewiltord 7y agoIt’s a collective mirror and what we believe we ‘want’ is less important than our revealed preference.
- jariel 7y ago'When you look in the mirror' you see the 'story you tell' about yourself. If you want to know what you really like - check your actual news browsing habits. If you did that you might note you might click a lot of bait, and read things that micro-trigger you, and the local or boring news just doesn't get the attention. Obviously, some more than others. But certainly, the death of 'local news' at the very least is due to the fact we don't care about local stuff. Not only this, but we are also materially less engaged at the local level than at any time in history.
