The media is mostly garbage and the consumption of media without proper critique is a disease.
Today's western media is increasingly conformist and opinionated, far removed from factual reporting.
There is a constant discussion of topics that bear little interest to me, but are referred to time and time again. These include ways to climb the corporate ladder, saving for retirement, equating success to getting rich, politics, sexism, the gap between generations, human rights, LGBT rights, refugees, climate change, weight loss and obesity. There is a total focus on the US, which makes up less than 5% of the world population, whereas regions that I believe are experiencing the most difficulty get completed ignored, such as Yemen, Syria and Somalia.
There is no discussion of issues that I feel are more important such as nature, science, maximising our lives, satisfaction, spirituality, and stories of people doing amazing things with their lives.
The media is plagued with inaccuracies, even from so called reputable sources. It is becoming increasing politically correct. There are no alternative viewpoints, despite their claim to support free speech. The media is making people dumb. Although I receive less exposure to media from other countries, I have anecdotal accounts suggesting that there are similar issues plaguing media in non-western countries.
Update (28/9/18): I am going to formally quit (or attempt to quit) reading Fairfax news and News.com.au and really any Australia media.
1. Way too American leaning, and anti Trump and anti China
2. Way too feminist, always discussion about sexism against females
3. Too much politics
4. Always discussio about crime
5. Always politically correct, never cracking jokes
I hate Australian media opinions and their negative effect on me. It may be a reflection of Australian people and their behaviour. It's fucking addictive but so destructive. I don't even give a fuck about the property news any more if I have to put up with their shit. I never used to consume the news like this when I was in school. It ruins the way you think, making you one dimensional just like Nazi Germany and lose creativity and the way to think independently
There is and never has been such a thing as right or wrong, equal or unequal. It is all one's interpretation and a certain prevailing interpretation is becoming normalised across western media.
