A doom and gloom from the media isn't helping either. It's one thing to provide information, but the endless speculation about "how bad its going to get" is irresponsible.
- Mirioron 6y agoI would say the media is one of the larger factors (after factors such add unemployment though). When you can't go out and mingle with other people a lot of the information some people get about what's going on is from the media.
- dkdk8283 6y agoThe media stopped being about journalism long ago. It’s now infotainment. Our media is destroying the USA.
- collyw 6y ago>Our media is destroying the USA. I think this is incredibly true. And it is spreading to other parts of the world. There is a lot of sensationalism, around black lives matter protests, and very little objective analysis of the "problem". It seems incredibly irresponsible considering the results. I would urge everyone to listen to (or read) what Sam Harris says in his podcast on the topic, he brings some objectivity and rationality back to the discussion. You feel like there is still some sanity left in the world after listening to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmgxtcbc4iU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmgxtcbc4iU https://samharris.org/can-pull-back-brink/ https://samharris.org/can-pull-back-brink/
