It's fascinating watching the people they have exploited defend them. We've been conditioned into believing we "need" these corporations to keep us informed. We don't.

There is a big element of FOMO as well. Why would I need to know about yet another mass killing of children in America? Does knowing all the bad shit that happens around the world even useful to me?

I used to think being informed was helpful, so we would have knowledge of how to avoid the shit things in our own communities, if we saw how horrible they were elsewhere. Now I think we are better to not know, as those in power seem to want to push for the bad shit to brought here, instead of avoiding it.

I'm tired of media corps trying to import bigotry , racism, violence, religion, fascism, etc, from other countries, we have enough of this shit already.
