Hey man, something fun happened this week in France (I don't think it's the case elsewhere)
I don't know if you've seen any news about it, but the situation in Sudan is a little tense at the political level. No French media reported on the situation or the latest developments in the situation. They focused on their usual mainstream articles.
And there, a movement of ordinary people began to show support for the Sudanese people and asked for more information about what was happening, and for the media to do their job.
So I think that whatever bullshit these mainstream media are feeding us, they can very well be called to order when it doesn't fully cover the subject. They are therefore obliged to offer content with a minimum of quality to keep their readers and their credibility.
Finally, if information is not present in these media, social networks now allow us to access information.
Oh I didn't hear about that, thanks for sharing. I'm glad that people are calling them to order as you said. And you're right, now social network allow us to access way more information than when they had absolute monopoly.
