This is the reason why all corporate media has become the dumpster fire it is (not just social media). They use negative emotion like fear and anger to promote engagement. So all you get as a viewer is stuff that gets you fired up. The quality of journalism is so low now they're fabricating stuff to engage the viewer. Then there's no journalistic accountability when they do get caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

    To be fair, the 80s were known for having commercials earlier in the day for the channel's newscasts that stoked fear. "5 items in your kitchen could kill everyone you've ever loved. Tune in to STFU News at 6 for more information."

    "Then there’s no journalistic accountability when they do get caught with their hand in the cookie jar."

    Literally Fox News Entertainment when brought to court over Tucker Carlsons bullshit...

    "We're not news we're Entertainment™©®, no reasonable person would believe what Mr.Carlson is saying is true." So they don't need to have any integrity whatsoever...
