Problem is the choices are;
A) seeing migrants die en masse makes people feel bad and helpless and weak.
B) Allowing people to say “stupid dumbass billionaires” makes people feel like they are better than some stupid dumbass billionaires.
It was always going to be B. Most times the media just goes where we demand it goes. If you want to complain about why the media is so shit -blame all of us.
Yeah, it's like anything else under capitalism, if you're willing to partake in whatever it is you don't like you're just a part of the problem.
Bad products, bad media, it's all the same. Don't consume if you want change. The fediverse' success in the last week shows that people banding together to refuse bullshit can actually make things happen.
@Col3814444 for me its certainly not about media, it's about government spending.
