authority for what we think

People who do not know the truth often carry prejudice and spread prejudice. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, Mozi criticized blind obedience to authority, but in the Internet age, there are still many people who do not know how to criticize the authority we see. "The media is authoritative and fair", unfortunately, this concept is instilled in the public by the media. What you see is fair and objective, and what the media wants you to see. The interests behind this are related, and you will know after a little thought. How complicated, the truth is in the hands of both parties, not in the hands of a single party who can directly benefit by using moral charges against celebrities to cause an uproar. As for this documentary, there are only emotional rendering and emotional catharsis, but the evidence is full of loopholes.

Not to mention the discrimination against race and color as well as homosexuality and sexual minorities behind this incident. A gentle black man must be a monster? Black people have to be vicious? Is being different a pedophile? To this day, blacks are still far more likely to be convicted than whites. To put it bluntly, it is still a stereotype. As an audience, you will only vent your existing prejudice on the hot spots created by the media.

So I remind myself to never forget what it means to be profitable. You think that the media exposes the darkness and promotes justice, but it is possible that the media itself is the darkness. Blindly listening to the media and following other people's ideas has become a puppet manipulated by the media.
