A Quinnipiac University poll asked U.S. registered voters to select one of four options to blame for the divisions in the country. Overall, 35 percent blamed social media, 32 percent blamed political leaders, 28 percent blamed cable news channels and only 1 percent blamed other countries.
…who own the media. Like Rupert Murdoch and David Zaslav.
dispite common believe, you still have choices for news. however you can’t just sort them by the names outright anymore but by either who owns them, or which corperation owns them.
I wasn’t insinuating otherwise, I was mostly just joking because they said “seems like it might be the fascists” and I was simply pointing out, yes, yes it is. The fascists who own news media companies, which thankfully isn’t all of the media. Quite a lot of it though, sadly.
ah, makes sense now. I must had misunderstood the context. I do hear people all the time complaining about who owns the media and etc. So I was responding how I did by instinct. Yes we do need other voices in the news besides just them.
Haha, that’s fair, a lot of media critique is… not very thoughtful.
