Shocking to me how much of the public don’t understand that modern news is literally just entertainment for bored masses.
I got chastised for saying this in company not long ago and responded with “don’t blame me, you’re the one obsessed with endless tragedy porn” which didn’t go down well.
Objective, informative, relevant news is long since dead if it ever existed at all.
- l33tman 4y agoWell... to be honest, what fraction of all news you consume daily actually affect what you do or think? I guess it's mostly "entertainment" for most people except professionals in their respective trades.. you could easily ignore reading any news for a few weeks and your life wouldn't change.
