What media bias?

Jump
  • I find it important to call out any media bias no matter how "tepid" you may find it.

    It's the deluge of "tepid" examples of bias that makes us complacent when what you might consider "real bias" comes up and goes unnoticed and/or unquestioned.

  • To all of the "neutral" folks:

    Wouldn't "neutral" mean you could swap headlines and photos and still have the same emotional response (because that is the aim of propaganda, to illicit an emotional response)?

    I don't think this would garner the same response if it was switched.

    It is subtle propaganda (apparently), but biased propaganda none the less.

  • Not necessarily. One snip gives an example of a positive quality of the person in question paired with a positive leaning photo. The other gives no such example of quality (and in fact uses authoritarian language as a way of swaying opinion) paired with a photo doctored to (at least in my mind) resemble historically negative figureheads.

    This is a form of bias and propaganda.

  • Exactly! Additionally, the visual cues that are obviously being used paint a very different picture.

    Propaganda isn't really difficult. It just requires a predisposed audience.

  • The most important lesson I have learned throughout my career is that large corporations are not worth working for. Too much "HR" interference.

    The best work environments I have ever been a part of is when I worked for smaller businesses that were still made up of actual people and not nameless/faceless/soulless "corporate HR departments", who's sole purpose is to "make corpo more money no matter the means".

  • "So in short eat vegan like a poor vegan not like a rich person who thinks veganism is trendy"

    But in the context of this conversation, wouldn't eating like a poor vegan rely heavily on buying products that also have a heavy impact on the environment?

    You would have to buy cheaper products which come from mass produced farms that use TONS and TONS of water! And generate TONS and TONS of carbon emissions during production of those products.

    To be vegan AND advocate for conservation(you can advocate for something no matter your own behavior. That's the wrong word to use) to claim that your lifestyle is better for the environment than your non-vegan counterparts, you have to have money.

  • Question: why the FUCK do you want to work for a Catholic employer if you aren't Catholic (aka follow the doctrine of the Catholic Church)?!

    I can pretty much guarantee you they probably can't pay much anyway!!

  • I'm not saying I would be walking around with a boner. I'm saying I would want to look at naked breasts because I appreciate female bodies (in this case, specifically the chesticle region) no matter the shape. Are you shaming me for that?

    Sure, if everyone walked around naked 24/7, it would probably be less of an issue. Do you believe that everyone walking around naked 24/7 is a viable option?

    And also, you seriously believe that it is an issue ONLY with Western cultures and Abrahamic religions?! I'm starting to think you have never spoken to someone from China or Japan about their societal norms.

  • Are you male or female? In this case, it matters.

    You see, males (for the most part) ARE attracted to breasts! It's hard wired in our brains! Even gay friends have an obsession with boobs! We men LOVE boobs!!

    If you want to go topless, I say: FUCK YEAH!!! But I feel like the disconnect comes from some people feeling violated if men stare. I'm sorry, but if there are boobs within eyeshot, I'm gonna be looking at them. I might try to hide my gaze (because I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable), but I'm gonna be checking them out. As frequently as possible. Because.....boobs!!

    I'm sorry if this is not the kind of response you were looking for, but.....BOOBS!!
