The mainstream print media in the UK is dominated by far right papers and their millionaire owners. The result is rampant xenophobia and Brexit.pic.twitter.com/zll1PAGKK7

I mean I didn't say they weren't.
Although that statistic is slightly misleading. You're not wrong, but the image is misleading.pic.twitter.com/FB6NIElKmv

Misleading how? The colours on your diagram are reversed from mine, other than that they line up exactly. By sales, the right wing press vastly dominates the left.pic.twitter.com/cQGHuFfUZB

Despite your assertions that everything is hunky dory, Stephen, it's hard to escape the feeling that we are one step away from Armageddon. The gap between rich and poor is the biggest it's ever been.

You don't mention multi-millionaires and billionaires. How have they increased?

So..... what? Ignore the corruption, scandals, and law breaking surrounding Trump and the WH? Put a smiley face on this kakistocracy? Hmm?

The message is that we should keep things in perspective. Quit freaking out about everything all the time. Not every "scandal" is a catastrophe.

I think it is the media's responsibility to bring out the bad news. That is what we are expecting from it. Evolutionarily, we have had to rely on each other to constantly watch out for danger. Today, that role has been taken up by the media.

There are more responsible, truth-seeking journalists at work now than ever, but they are drowned out by the public's insatiable desire for gossip, scandal, bad news, and confirmation of biases.
-
So the fact that the profession of journalism is held now in such low regard, is the fault of the public?
-
Whose fault is it that the media spews so much gossip, triviality, and hate? The producers of said tripe, or the consumers of it? Of course it's both, but we tend not to focus enough on the consumer side when laying blame for what our media culture has become.

I think the 4th estate has a duty to behave like the pillar of democracy it is supposed to be, not abase itself The fact that it has been captured by partisan careerists is certainly not the fault of the public Gossip/distraction used to be just culture, not politics sections
