Great response!
Media is paid for by advertising money. Advertisers pay for the most number of impressions sold, not for the accuracy of reporting.
The more controversial and (negative) emotion provoking, the more impressions and this profit.
The media will never report on good things happening, except for an occasional fluff piece.
Truth isn’t controversial, it never is.
Learn to evaluate for yourself. No media source, influencer or celebrity can replace simply looking for yourself. If you can’t go and see it yourself, it probably doesn’t concern you.
Unless you have the power to do something about the information you’re being given, ignore it!
My personal rule is: “if I’m reading it or watching it, there is an agenda behind it.” I always think to myself, “if it’s being put out by the media, it’s very likely that the complete opposite must be true.”
Doubt what you’re being told to believe and go and LOOK for yourself. Don’t THINK. Go and LOOK.
If you can’t look directly and do something about it, go and find something you can directly observe and find a way to help make someone’s life better. Even if it’s just to put a smile on their face.
Wonder which model Samsung it was…
