Sorry, you cannot take one example to prove me wrong as I didn't make claims about all reporting. Btw, you cannot be sure it's accurate unless it's your field

Btw, you cannot be sure it's accurate unless it's your field - you may like to google for Knoll's law.
I worked in media-related project, and have very clear understanding how things constantly getting warped for clickbaiteness, and to fit main audience tastes.
>The ideological exagerated attack
You're projecting here. I mentioned no ideological labels, and made no distinction on that grounds. I wrote about business incentives essentially. I'm also not sure if my view that media industry is not exceptional among other industries constitute an "attack" in any reasonable meaning of the word.
- bosswipe 6y agoWeird, I've always heard it called Gell Mann amnesia, not Knoll's law. Anyway, I think it's bullshit. I'm in tech and read tech news and most of the stuff I've read where I had personal experience has been accurate. Journalists generally are just people trying to do their jobs within the constraints they are given. The attacks on the media are ideologically driven by people that want to impose their view of the world on everyone else and don't want journalists ruining that.
- brokenkebab 6y ago>Journalists generally are just people trying to do their jobs within the constraints they are given. And this is exactly what I wrote about. >impose their view of the world on everyone else and don't want journalists ruining that This assumes that journalists are not like us humans, and never want to impose their views. And never work for people who want to impose their views, of course. And their incentives/constraints never push them to publish incorrect, or doctored stuff.
