The real story is that Yahoo made up this “story” by gathering stupid and silly tweets from stupid and angry people on Twitter and mashed them into a narrative about white privilege. You will be literally dumber and less informed by reading this sort of “news.” Which may just be the point.
Reading some of the comments on this article, I don’t think many people were fooled. The grand grand majority were disgusted by Yahoo and their toxic point of view!
Yah you’re right, Jazz. Yahoo was most likely just trolling people who think along normal lines with purpose to get clicks.
I think this sort of strategy is counterproductive, as it engenders less trustworthiness in the source than before a user clicked on the article in the first place. A short perusal of Yahoo’s finances will show that it’s a struggling enterprise, despite being around since the beginning of the web.
The bit about Fox was completely irrelevant “whataboutism,” and you could have just left it off your response. I don’t watch Fox, but I’m sure it’s no worse than the left wing media like CNN for lies and mistruths, and it’s probably a lot better. However, the discussion was about a completely different topic.
