Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. The media is becoming a mouthpiece of intolerance that I don't see in my day to day life.

The problem is that small minority are the group that copy/paste/share links like they work in a fucking warehouse in India, spreading the ad revenue of the media outlets like wildfire. So they print "news" that apeals to those small groups sensibilities and triggers.

If you actually printed informative news about real life, then people would read it on their own time, think "Hmm, interesting" and go back to work/sleep/life outside the system. Thus reducing the revenue of the media outlets by thousands of %

If facebook/twitter wanted to stop hate speech, or end racism like the ALTleft wants it to so bad, they wouldnt ban nazi's or hate speek or TRUMP from their social media outlets, they'd ban the ability to share any media on their platform. No vox, no jezzebelle, no CNN, no fox, no media.

This isnt actually a solution, you see it wont stop the same number of retards from sharing news the way they do now.

Like, this is already a thing and it has had no effect.

not to mention the fact that because the loudest voices tend to skew the conversation and opinion of the largest groups, all the outlets that do this now are just as pandery.

The economist had a picture of trump talking to his constituents all wearing KKK hoodies this month.

When you pay for news, and 90% of your co-workers dont, and you hear them chattering about the bullshit they read on social network, you wonder, why isnt my pay to read news oulet covering these things?

Also when you are a media outlet the bottom dollar is the only thing that matters, so why would you have TWO staff writing teams? one that prints news for the public eye and one that writes news for the private? that's an obscene waste of money, why not just give the pay to read people the same bullshit that the public reads, saving you a ton of money AND your readers wont send you letters about why you dont cover the hot button issues.

The only solution is to prevent the bottom from using their voice on social as a marketing platform for the manipulative media.

A simple trick that makes social media a billion times better is to go through and hide the news outlet's from each post one of your politically loud friends shares, over a few days, you'll have blocked all media outlets from your social network feed and youll be back to only seeing updates from friends about life events of their own, instead of ones they're reading about.

If facebook added a "block media" button that did this, I think the vast majority of people would click it, and it would change the way news is written, the way facebook changed the way news was written over the last 10 years.

Their are a lot of problems with this arguement. First of all, lets point out that the mainstream media is dying or argubly already dead. Less than 20% of people get their news from T.V. anymore. Over half the population get's their news exclusively from the internet. This trend continues and the big networks are unable to capture internet news consumers.

Secondly, News producers like Rupert Murdoch (a billionaire British propagandist that owns newcorp -> Fox News) commonly interfere with the way news is reported. They litterly will pick up of the phone and say "I want to see more about this Ted Bundy Guy." Or perhaps "Martin Bashir talks too much about the wealthy and not enough about race." So this hand's off idea that they are just in it for the news sales money is retarded. Generally News corporations lose money but are still useful for big owners.

Finally, news does change the way people act. That's why the entire media is now owned by about 7 different richer families that aggressively expand despite that it makes little finical sense. There's not even such thing as local news anymore -- no joke. Those outlets are owned by parent companies that dish out the same unpopular, bland, horseshit that is regurgitated on the national stage. If anything like the radical press of Enland in the early 20th century popped up -- it would be a problem for the news owners.
