Fake Media: The Dangers of Only Telling Half The Story

 

“When mass media displays such a clear bias—and please make no mistake, whether fully intentional or not, that’s exactly what this is—then the people who are on the losing end of that bias are not going to be happy. And since they’re actually justified in their complaints, it’s very easy for them to convince people who have less skin in the game that media isn’t trustworthy as well.

All this does is push people further to the extremes, which makes it easier for the biggest lunatics to find reasons to believe even crazier conspiracy theories and find reinforcement for their belief that violence is the appropriate response.

I want this to stop, and while there’s no magic bullet, I don’t think that can happen until the reporting on these kinds of subjects gets a lot better and more people are more fully-informed about everything that is going on in our world—not just the parts that confirm partisan biases.” – Authored by Sean Malone via The Foundation for Economic Education:  takenfrom Zerohedge.com
