"The main way the media manipulate us is not by telling us what to think but what to think about. People think news bias is about how stories are told but the bigger bias happens earlier in the process with the decision of what to cover in the first place. Newsrooms are like giant spotlights and where they shine their light shapes the world more than what they actually say.

"Good point but the key phrase is "lots of data".

"I actually think Elon's takeover didn't do much to defeat wokeism. He gave us a little more freedom to criticize wokeism on here but many of us were criticizing wokeism here long before he took over. Sure he gave a few right-wing voices a bigger soapbox but unfortunately most of those voices were unhinged and only alienated leftists and liberals further pushing them into deeper echo-chambers on BSky and elsewhere as well as making them feel more justified in holding woke views. You're right that legacy institutions are losing influence but I think this is because people lost trust in them. I"
