The issues involved are old and the OP bringing them up is the same as often posts about them, but it's hardly guff. It's important. Sometimes important stuff puts people to sleep.Zzzzzzzz. Same old guff from GF.
The media thrive on narratives (i.e., stories), like the rest of us; and they get to choose how the conversation is framed by virtue of the fact they have always bought ink by the barrel.
Poor journalism is just poor journalism. You've got to be some kind of fruit loop to read it and see conspiracy or an agenda.
The media, particularly in these days of massive conglomeration and moneybags corporate ownership, most assuredly does have certain agendas. Stories are often not reported as a result of original investigation, but press releases from interested parties and other "news" outlets. Certain stories turn into feeding frenzies which by definition involve endless repetition, which works like a (lucky?) charm. I'm not sure what brand of cereal you have to be to swallow everything you're fed: Frosted Flakes? If only for the crowd-pleasing alliteration.
Repetition. So you see how it works.Spoken like a true fruit loop.
Gentle or otherwise, it's constant and relentless.I don't think that the reporting of cyclists' KIAs are part of a conspiracy but there does seem to be a gentle car-centric slant to a lot of them.
