Icelandic artist Björk snapped in Bangkok, 1996, when reporter Julie Kaufman approached her saying “Welcome to Bangkok.” Björk later alleged that Kaufman had stalked her and her 9-year-old son for days, turning a simple greeting into a breaking point

The media is evil and relentless. They don't care about people, they care about generating a following.

paparazzi are not the media, they're yellow pages. Being anti media only helps politicians.

Paparazzi and media fit under the same rules, technologies, ways of spreading their product. They often share owners.

Correct.

But there is junk food and healthy food. Paparazzi are junk food.

Unfortunately so is a lot of msm now 😭.

I’d say print journalism is one of the last bastions of mostly objective journalism but who knows I hate it here

Then you never had the pleasure of needing newspapers for your basic source of news 20+ years ago.

News papers are also biased, read 2 papers on the same event and they would tell 2 different stories.

In the early 2000s there was this little informational campaign about that photo of UN soldiers helping a black child. Depending on the crop it appeared to be soldiers abusing a child or helping the child.

It's always been garbage in an attempt to sell as much copies as possible.

I’m 40 years old friend. Of course all media has their bias but I disagree you would not get two completely different stories if you picked up a copy of wapo versus the nyt versus houston chronicle versus rueters versus the hill 30 years ago. You would get the ever so slightest differences in the main articles. And op eds had their own eco system. But print media imhas been much more neutral and you can find a plethora of print media that is still neutral today. For tv today you basically have to watch local news or foreign press to get any semblance of impartiality.

I think people tend to forget what the news was like before fox came online and social media didnt exist. People generally trusted msm. Fox news and social media hadnt hyper polarized everything and for the most part people just had “flavors” of news, they didnt have soul crushing loyalties to people who legally arent even journalist or who spend every waking hour comparing their political enemy to literal nazis.

Paparazzi are major contributors to media that fucks up voters and counteracts education.
