The media is reporting the world as it is, not the world as it should be. It's not their job to de-escalate. Kinda silly IMO to blame the people writing articles instead of blaming the people dropping bombs and launching missiles.
I have seen the term "ICE barbie" on social media, but I don't consider that a credible source.
Obviously everything you hear from someone else, whether it's published in the newspaper or a passing comment from your neighbor, it's going to be filtered through their ideas, beliefs, and goals.
Some people have a goal to communicate accurately and limit their bias. Other people find it more important to get ad clicks or upvotes.
There are a lot of what I would call left leaning news sites that only refer to Krist Noem by that name. Not just social media.
Just do a google search for the phrase and qualify it with news results only. Lots and lots of well known news outlets are using it regularly to refer to her.
I am not saying this is a one-sided thing only on the left. It’s on the other side too. The “ICE Barbie” was the most obvious recent example that I have been seeing.
Care to provide some sources for these wild statements? Got an AP article where they use that as her name? Maybe we just have a different definition of credible news sources.
Just do what what I said. Google the term, limit it to “news”. See the sources using it and see if they are well known and are considered “credible” on your opinion.
What you will see is msn, nj.com, telegraph, yahoo news, TNR, metro.co.uk, Toronto Sun, New York Sun using it
no, because it's much more complicated than can be summed up in a hn comment. "the media" is not a real thing, it's just a term that refers vaguely to a very large collection of different people, each of whom has different beliefs, ideas, and goals. What they write/say will be filtered through those beliefs, ideas, and goals.
If my neighbor, who grew up in Canada, says "it's not very cold out today", he is attempting to describe the world as it is. Is he correct? If I consider him to be incorrect, it doesn't follow that he is trying to mislead me.
I agree with you, while it is complicated, news organizations should and are reporting the facts (we are discussing them here). I think some people in "media" are probably using hot-button adjectives to get at Trump, and to his discredit it seems to be working.
As somebody who knows a lot of journalists I can report that I haven't met any journalist who spilled the beans on that cabal who conspires to report on a false world.
I have heard them talk so negatively on the owners and chief editors of populist media such as Murdock, Berlusconi, Springer that I have just cut them completely out of my news consumption.
