The other day I was watching an interview of Chris christy. He said the news media portrays Trump as a bad president but the reality is they got him elected. He said because nobody else got the coverage Trump got.
Do you believe that the coverage now will get Trump relected? The news portrays him as a bad guy but do you believe a major agree with him? On things like immigration, welfare reform, taxes, kneeling, and the trade deals. It's just America has become too pc to say what we are actually thinking in fear of retaliation from the bleeding hearts club...liberals
trump portrays HIMSELF as a bad president...
the news media just reports it what he does!
so simple and so true
Here is what (network/business) media does, it reports facts and opinions about the facts, sometimes independent sources that have no standard to be held against make up their own facts.
The danger in that is in the potential DECEPTION caused by the inability for most stories to truly give ALL THE FACTS/TRUTH (as in the truth,, THE WHOLE TRUTH, and nothing but the truth)
so when people with limited traveling, cultural or educational experience begin to base their whole reality primarly on what they are 'hearing' in the media or on the internet, they developed a SKEWED since of the context of things in their REALITY and get stuck only on the FRAMING of them by their favorite source.
For instance, if the media suddenly follows a TREND to report MORE AND MORE on missing kids, even if the REALITY is fewer and fewer are missing those DEPENDING on media/internet to frame their reality begin to believe that missing kids has become MORE OF A PROBLEM, instead of less. Their reality is FRAMED completely on what they hear and see on internet and TV. It is not because the news is lying about the events, but it is a skewed ability to put things inside of a proper and realistic context regarding those events. It happens in cycles with trends regarding terrorism, or immigration, or any number of hot button issues. Report it more, repeat it more often and it must therefore be becoming a major problem needing to be immediately address.
We have spend decades dumbing down the public to the point where it can be receptive to whatever a con person well experienced in media can frame for them. We have realities being defined by WHO is framing the picture instead of what the details of the picture actually are.
unfortunate.
