The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

THE WITCHES STRIKE AGAIN

seriously contemporary media is just as stupid as it was in early puritan colonialism. Why.

One part of it is simply profit. Everything is about attention these days and whatever gets attention is being amplified. The other part is deliberate, though. All major media are run by the oligarchy and their main mission is to preserve the status quo. Constant distraction is one of their weapons.

I don’t even think they want to preserve the status quo. They want to move back to serfdom.
