Explain to me again why I should care about “the news” when #news #media have a vested interest in pushing my buttons, their analyses are so biased, and their priorities so skewed.
About #priorities, case in point: today, major #newspapers in 🇪🇸 #Spain imply that by far the most important #news (as measured by real estate occupied on their front pages) is
what one person
who is the head of a federation of
one sport
in one country
says at a press conference about
one incident.
That incident was _not_ a crime. That person is _not_ an influential leader or thinker. There is no international conflict involved. Nobody died, or is going to die, or is going to survive, depending on the outcome of this.
Not elections in Gabon. Not Ukraine. Not the crisis in Niger. Not protests in Syria.
Let alone the 1,323 children under 5 who died of #malaria _yesterday_.
No. This.
