@blakandblack@DingoSwampHead True. But I reckon the biggest strategic error was trying to do the Voice without a Murdoch Royal Commission first. Had there been some constraints on how far Murdoch owned outlets could stretch the truth, I think the outcome could have been very different!
@marquelawyers It's interesting to see how many people groups have strong and clear principles that somehow, all of a sudden, no longer apply if Israel is involved. It's blatantly obvious.
@hauiebeast So true. I see a lot of young artists these days watching their idols acting like divas on social media and think mimicking their behaviour is the way to get to where they are - and I really feel sorry for them....
Unveiling Global Inequality: The Biased Lens of Media Coverage
The wall-to-wall coverage of the Titanic Sub has once again shed light on the persisting racism deeply ingrained in our world.
While the tragic loss of life deserves our utmost sympathy, it is essential to acknowledge the stark contrast in media attention given to different incidents.
Just the same week, another ship sank, resulting in the deaths of numerous immigrants.
However, their plight has been conveniently overlooked by mainstream media.
This blatant disparity in coverage compels us to question the values our society holds dear.
The sinking of a ship carrying hopeful migrants from Libya to Italy, near Greece, should have resonated with the international community.
But as the world came together to celebrate the International Day of Refugees, not a single mention of this tragedy made its way into the headlines.
It is a sobering realization that our society seems to prioritize the lives and stories of the privileged while turning a blind eye to the suffering of the less fortunate.
The media's selective focus on incidents like the Titanic Sub reveals a disheartening truth: our world seems to care only about billionaires, disregarding the countless lives lost and dreams shattered within marginalized communities.
As we witness this unequal distribution of empathy and compassion, we must question the inherent biases within our society and challenge the status quo.
Let us not forget that the voices of the unheard are just as important, if not more so, than those amplified by the media.
The lives lost in the recent shipwreck deserve recognition, remembrance, and justice.
By acknowledging these neglected stories and advocating for a more equitable media landscape, we can work towards dismantling the systemic racism and socioeconomic inequality that perpetuate this skewed perception of value.
@TheBroedeShow@VinnWilder@KenResendez@SteveMartinToGo No actually I’m complaining about all the stupid fucks who think $8 is a big deal because Musk isn’t a liberal idiot. He’s a capitalist. Because those are the same people who think the rich need taxed… but $8…
I never did believe millionaires actually wanted to tax themselves.
@taylor__bonner @A_Colder_Vision@ericareport Ah, nope, that's literally what every post I've seen on this thread is calling for - investigation and appropriate response to any actual crimes committed, regardless of who is involved. Call it preferential treatment for those who haven't broken the law, if you must 😂😂
