Man, even if you watch the news you’re quite likely to be affected by the media hype. It’s shameful the kind of control they have over us. What’s even more alarming is that absolute racists can hide themselves easily just by being on the right side of the media hive narrative.

Capitalism is great, but unrestrained pure profit motive capitalism in some sectors - like journalism - does not look like it’s in public interest. Companies like Twitter just serve up content that can rile people up, with no concern for what it’s leading to. All they care about is engagement.
