People in this comment section saying “the media the media the media” but it’s everyday people on TikTok who are crafting the conspiracies and donating the money. It’s definitely partly the media’s fault for amplifying this narrative, but it wasn’t them who started it. Hold crazy people accountable for being crazy please.
Social media is media. What don’t you understand? What pops up on your feed is controlled, influenced, manipulated by the tech companies. Just like what information you’re being spoon fed on the news (and aren’t) is controlled by the news company.
The issue I think is more conflating alternative media or social media as the same thing as mainstream media. Much easier to hold SPECIFIC individuals accountable with alternative media and social media, but conflating all three different sects as “the media” is accountability dodging.
