supermike80 1,285 Posted March 31, 2020 Lets keep everyone tuning in right? Already covered the "strikes" at Amazon and one of the grocery delivery companies I'm waiting for the stories about grocery stores / distribution centers having MASSIVE corona virus outbreaks so they can keep injecting panic into the public and keep everyone clicking and tuning in. It's hard for me to properly express how much I hate the american media. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeelingMN 273 Posted March 31, 2020 People just respond more strongly to negativity. It's how we're wired. https://www.verywellmind.com/negative-bias-4589618 Quote Results, based on over 1,000 respondents across 17 countries and 6 continents, suggest that there is, on average, a negativity bias in psychophysiological reactions to video news content. There are, however, also considerable differences in the way in which individuals react to negative versus positive news content. These individual-level differences are not easily explained by culture or country. Indeed, there is considerable within-country variation in responses to news content. This fact highlights the possibility that news content could be attention-grabbing for some citizens even if it is not systematically negative. https://www.pnas.org/content/116/38/18888 Seems like what's going on with supermike.

Ive been taken back by the disrespect shown during the White House press briefings lately, and that’s saying something. Journalists think they are much more important than they actually are.

Reality 2,710 Posted March 31, 2020 These reporters think it's their job to make news, not report on it. The same crew that doesn't even want the press conferences carried live so they can report it with their garbage slant. Honestly, these people aren't needed, we are hearing the daily briefings ourselves, there's no need for a biased liberal "reporter" being our go-between. We're good. They know it and we know it.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted March 31, 2020 Media goes through stages of decline from being about hard news to a total joke. The next step for some of these liberal media outlets is that they are going to cross the rubicon and, in a desperate quest for eyeballs, become tabloids like the National Enquirer. They'll be covering space aliens, Bigfoot, ghosts, and time travel. At some point, some of them are going to realize that stuff gets more viewers than liberal reporting does.
