What is up, media? (Ari Moore)
I think the more I read the news the more irritated I get with the media. I wish they were more critical. I wish they didn’t just repeat each other endlessly. I wish they spent their time more wisely.
But then I remember that capitalism is probably the cause of these ills. If you’re so focused on clicks or issues sold or your stock value, you’ll do anything to get people to read you. Even that means you have to spend your time making slideshows like this one I just found while reading Google News, instead of covering, oh, I don’t know, maternal health as impacted by economics, or US-led bombings in Afghanistan, or other issues of substance.
So what is up, new media? Are we actually making things better?
