Media companies capitalise on silly stories making them feel like a big deal, it’s simply for clicks, all the need is one person who has an opinion for a quote and there running a full blown story on it.
Take Three Media feels amongst the recent protests, media pages including Kent Media are using these stories to create news, generally used to bring in clicks to their websites, quotes can be from anybody and have no real meaning, it could take a few attempts to find a person who has the controversial opinion or crazy idea they are looking for but once they find it they push it.
One person on facebook commented “it must be fake to create race wars” and we dont they they are to far off, who knows what’s going through the mind of a wealthy media executive.
Stay safe out there.
