Or at least puts it in perspective. However the nature of the newscycle now means we don&#39;t want to wait for the less emotive story, &amp; when it comes it&#39;s insufficient which is bc the previous one was so extreme in it&#39;s presentation, it (almost) suggested there was no solution.

Therefore framing is an important part of how news is shared. For example, headlines often appear at odds with reality, which is why digital media has shifted our reality to always believe the worst &amp; to be dissatisfied with any solutions - the solution becomes something to be angry about as well.1/ 2025-02-16T12:01:50+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyu2lpucg6ujnlxxjesaqaaxu5yclp5053h83pkvk3yc66lxlgk0gzyp4n6gc5mj8k6vwc9lnwkqwccwmmjhxz0tph96jp4c40cl4sk9u575hh3k2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8jn8fn828zzmhmmyse58mkc0p82t0w57nu4qnrky27sksj0gekrcy4syu6'>nevent1q…syu6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I was thinking this morning about how news is presented (curated?) on the Guardian Web page. Does it set out to just give the reader an endless list of rage inducing/doom laden stories. Or is it feeding me these because I click on them (even though I try to limit my daily rage intake)? When I&#39;m looking at Masto, I try and boost a range of posts to give a breather from the endless doom.

Even then I could see how her terrible upbringing had affected her perception of men. Although I didn&#39;t reject her outright then, because to do so would mean rejecting feminism right? Reading around the subject (as they say) helped me understand how simplistic a lot of her arguments were.
