The worst is when rich people interview other rich people about their rich person thing (e.g. Ivanka Trump purchasing an island), so that poor people can watch it on television. That level of narcissism and arrogance is just fucking astonishing to me. You can be rich and also just shut the absolute fuck up about it.
A lot of the people doing it aren’t even rich anymore. It’s a Ponzi scheme of influencers vying for social capital that can’t actually be cashed in for anything
Sports coverage is not news; there's always a sports segment in every 'news' program. Entertainment masquerading as news. Kill Rupert Murdoch and his progeny.
My eyes were practically bleeding while watching some local news coverage at a bar, fairly recently.
It was literally two geriatric fascists in cowboy hats yelling at each other over the image of a young black man with facial tattoos in an orange prison jumpsuit. The debate was whether the local PD had gone woke and become complicit in street crime or just needed another zillion dollars of additional funding to fight the urban menace.
Thanks Frieren!
But not your bit, right?
Ah yes, me a famously rich person.
Cmon, we both know I didn't refer to that
What are you referring to?
The socialist who posts a lot of news posts this. It's not really that hard of a joke to get
Yogthos isn't telling poor people to blame each other, but that the working classes need to collectively fight the bourgeoisie.
But he is spreading the message of the rich [news].
"news" could be any new information over any medium and is as old as language and gossip and culture itself
The News™ is a manufactured product designed to control the masses
Are you suggesting we should just never post or discuss either?
Are you suggesting that learning about current events is only something the rich should do?
