That’s just how the news operates now. I get why people dislike it but y’all just sound out of touch.
Yes, this is an unpopular opinion - and at least for me not for the reason you seem to think!
“that’s the way the world is” has way more “boomer vibe” than you can imagine. Even if you add “now”. Why should I give up just because things go to shit? Why should I retire into acceptance and ignorance?
Your acceptance is surrender, your annoyance a sign that a party of you knows that.
retire into acceptance
Like honestly, don’t you think you’re being dramatic here?
Language changes. Headline trends will shift again and will be mocked in the same way every decade gets mocked.
Oh yeah I - at least in part I wanted to go over the top as reply to the “so boomer” phrasing :)
But honestly, I think I see where you’re coming from. My concern is that it’s not a change in language but a shift from information to emotion: And there is genuinely something to keep an eye on: Do my news inform me or engage me?
No matter if Epstein, AI, Ukraine, etc - it’s becoming harder and harder for me to create an opinion on my own because more and more of my information channels tell me how I should feel instead of what’s going on. I’d rather find that out on my own though.
It’s an interesting thought for me though because I can easily rationalize my opposition against this shift - but it’s also rooted in my emotional reaction to emotion-bait which is … ironic I feel!
