The media is making money appealing to your sense of superiority because Trump says outlandish and foolish things that rile people up. Totally distracting from what's really important. Time to refocus in 2018 and improve our world. It starts with me not with Trump.Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647562459433740241.post-50688238924121288102017-12-27T09:08:15.726-05:002017-12-27T09:08:15.726-05:002018 will be an important year to work on "fa...2018 will be an important year to work on "fake news" and to ask the media for the information we need to improve life on this planet. The media should exist for public service not entertainment for corporate profits. I will be choosing and supporting the media I consume in a literate fashion and stop supporting the advertisers that make the "fake news" possible.Harrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647562459433740241.post-91718684817844217592017-12-27T08:15:56.866-05:002017-12-27T08:15:56.866-05:00I like your new series on prophetic voices and eve...I like your new series on prophetic voices and events. This article on the media's failure to adequately cover climate change because of its pre-occupation with more sensational antics is spot on. Perhaps the efforts of UUs should be to get the media to cover this topic of climate change which is so essential to our well being. I contribute to independent media like Democracy Now and Mother Jones. Perhaps more pressue could be brought to bear on NPR and PBS to cover these topics.Kennoreply@blogger.com
