53. There is bias in all the media.

Wed Mar 6, 2024, 02:45 AM

Mar 6

/Lecture warning!

Ask yourself some questions:

Am I being told what should be important/concerning to me?
Why is this topic revisited repeatedly?
Why are some topics of interest to me ignored or covered superficially?
Why are those specific words and phraseology used?

English (and most other languages) are subtle tools.
Often the way questions and topics are discussed have wrapped up in them the answer or response you are supposed to come up with.

A good indicator that you are being 'guided' in a direction you don't like:
Do you feel squeamish or uncomfortable after watching or reading specific media information?

Seek more comforting media, in that case.
But remember, there is bias there too - it's just that you approve of it.

/end lecture.
