I know how blunt and cynical this sounds, but as someone that (for whatever reason) consumes a lot of British news and culture I often get the feeling that the media is writing content for an infantilized public. Does anyone else agree and/or have a better way of phrasing this perspective?

I don't think people are dumb though. Most working class people see through the BS because they live it everyday. I'm not talking about just us, I'm talking retail, waiters, miners, etc. They've seen way more shit with their bosses and life experiences to know what's what. I don't think it's infantilizing. I think since these major news sites are owned and backed by the rich, they have certain messages they want to push. And one idea they don't want people to know about is worker organization. The rich all have a vested interest to not mention it at all and instead want us to use their rigged process to resolve issues. Here's an interesting video that shows every news station saying the exact same thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksb3KD6DfSI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksb3KD6DfSI
