Universities have been very liberal leaning in the UK for a long time, arguably moreso with each decade as its opened up from young white men only to just about anyone and everyone. So naturally with a diverse student background you're not going to see much in the way of patriotism because international students and any BAME (I hate the term) students aren't going to identify with it.
I do think that the interview has merit though in the sense that people can't draw conclusions anymore because there's a wide gap between "fact" and the need to tell a story to influence the minds of anyone watching/reading/listening.
Do you believe everything you hear on every news station? I hope not. |
I personally think the reason there is so much misinformation to filter through is because the access people have to supplyhing it.
Turning on the TV or looking at the internet, even on the top news outlets, is tentamount to walking down the street in the old days when people were just standing on a box yelling about whatever random idea they had.
We have to sift through everyone's crazy ideas, even on the top 5 news networks, it's all just become glorified soap box ranting.
Like, to me the news has become more like what I imagine a prophet in the old days would be like, than what I would define as journalism.
"Ohh this is it, this is the big end, ohh this will get him then you'll see the end is nigh! The enemies of good are abound! Repent Repent!"
