If we survived Tipper Gore's "Explicit Lyrics" warnings on CDs, I think we can survive this.
Everyone wanted the explicit copy, it made it more desirable.
But, as a counterpoint, traditional media is just as bad, if not worse, because it is desperately trying to stay relevant by selling fear.
"If it bleeds it leads" isn't exactly new. Maybe all media needs these warnings.
WARNING: This media conglomerate is owned by people who have vested interest in profit over truth.
Print and TV can't possibly compete with the amount of rage generated by the hyper personalized targeting machine that Facebook is. Add to that the fact that anyone can push their flavor of rage for a modest price. I don't know if you've used Facebook over the last few years but if you haven't, you should give it a spin. It's incredible.
Still the label applies well to all corporate media.
This is a great idea. But it would involve politicians revealing their own biases and brainwashing so it will never happen.
