MSM is like a strange drug that keeps us more upset than we need to be about some things, but not as upset as we should be about other things. It curates the news in such a way to keep people always on edge about what’s happening but never empowered enough to do anything about it

I havent even watched real TV in ages, I follow reporters and some stations., but I dont stream any networks or commercial radio,dont have the money for it
Yep. I wish MSM got people as upset about economic inequality and endless war as it does about Russian boogeymen and Trump’s daily antics. But that stuff doesn’t sell as many ads.

It’s called capitalist centrism They care about ads and corporate talking points and vilifying other countries for things they don’t cover their own country doing and that’s it

Absolutely. I've noticed a drastic difference since I dropped cable last year. My husband & I both weren't panicked about covid at all. Most recently we got hit by a snow storm, & I wasn't even slightly afraid that my roof would cave in. It's really incredible.
