Although this makes me wonder about the nature of news that tends to get shared on social media. Is it factual reporting or is it opinions we pretend are factual because they’re on the right domain?
- tossandthrow 2y agoAll media are under some influence and has an agenda. "factual" information is another way to say that the narrative is controlled in accordance with societal values. I think the take away is that Canada is loosing the ability to keep macro beliefs in check. It I'd going it be interesting to see what the long term management of this is. Interesting previous cases is how we shaped the media landscape after the second world War in order to (attempt to) eradicate nazist beliefs.
