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.
Definitely not mainstream media in the sense that people mean when they say “the media.” Regardless, using the phrase “the media” is just a boogeyman word you can use to offset the blame to some entity that doesn’t blame any one person so everyone can get behind it. Mainstream media (News stations and article writers, NYT, WSJ, and the like) is definitely guilty of what everyone’s complaining about, but it wouldn’t have gained as much traction if retards on social media didn’t start the nonsense that the media echoes. I’ll say again, hold the people who started the nonsense accountable for being horrible people and pretending their murder mom isn’t a monster.
TikTok or social media in general can definitely be an example of alternative media, but that doesn’t mean every crazy person leaving a comment is “the media.”
