The lying media!!!

“The Media” is one giant opinion piece designed to grab your attention to sell you advertising and news anchors into celebrities - all to make money and line the pockets of those feeding them. That’s it.

How often do you find any scaling of a problem, historical context, or DATA in your average piece of journalism? Almost never. Example “omfg 50bn in tarrifs/trade war/trump bad/hide the women and children” and neglect to mention we (good old USA) have about a 20 Trillion dollar economy... 50bn is a fart in the wind and means nothing - fractions of a %. But does the media scale it? Nope. Why? That might take some work, analysis and thinking - but who cares about those things any longer.
