Outrage As An Industry

[Smyrna]

@WuWei

The right has it’s tools as well. And uses them for the same purpose.

True…but nowhere near the magnitude of the current liberal media. Agreed?

[Scratch]

Not at all…But the Right has perfected the industry, and has even added the White House to the loop. And Trump is nothing more than a bomb throwing radio show host, (which is what the Right loves) that happens to occupy the oval office.

@WuWei

And yet in your first post, you only mentioned one.

@Smyrna

As I’ve consistently said for years, many who are in a position of power, are united in keeping us divided. Now the media is nothing more than a lib tool and continuously throw gas on the fire. They aren’t even news organizations anymore. They’re pot stirrers…period.

Many means just that…not “one”.

@mobulis

Nope, not even close.

Great…let’s take turns and each list an example…one at a time and see who wins? I’ll go first.

New York Times

your turn.

No, not at all agreed.

Then please…play along with Moby and list the R sources that back up your claim?

Not at all. Fascinated by the susceptibility to propaganda through confirmation bias.

FNC is Hannity. Limbaugh is another. The rest do not have the funds and the ability to get in front of mass crowds on a daily basis.

If I asked someone that I’d be banned or at minimun have my post deleted, so I won’t respond to that question.

Like I said, this country was founded based on outrage. It is what it is.

They are the “Merchants of Bad,” and they are an existential threat.

Our innate negativity bias, YouTube and Facebook algorithms, and effective storytellers combine to create a formidable foe for even the strongest minds.

No, you wouldn’t. Stop playing the victim.

It is what we allow it to be.

Very interesting post. Thank you. You believe we have an innate negativity bias?
