The news doesn't exist to give you an accurate model of reality.
It primarily exists to give you a believable model that promotes behavior of the masses towards the interests of the owners of the company or nation state that controls it.
- rnk 4y agoFrom that perspective, does anything exist to give you an accurate model of reality? Education? It's only to the control the masses and also makes money for book sellers? Science, just makes money for grant writers and equipment sellers? All that is somewhat true but doesn't really encompass the actual reality, which is plenty of journalists are interested in communicating what is happening, even while some are just pushing their vision or making money. Same is true of scientists, teachers, etc.
