Question: Is it the Bluesky echo chamber that makes it appear as if our media is committed to a racist, radical right Reform government? Or is it the boiled frog echo chamber of Twitter that has convinced our media that’s what everyone else wants?

The third possibility is that neither is true and it’s simply that our media is committed to a Reform government for personal tax, ideological or the simple love of drama reasons.

I’m just constantly struck by the constant disconnect between the main narrative (presented here) of national and widespread discontent about immigration, vs the reality of the protests small, generally met by larger counter protests. Likewise the narrative of Reform’s dominance vs the reality.

Basically I don’t know if immigration really *is* the thing everyone is talking about in angry, frustrated terms, or if that’s just how it appears to me, or appears to those setting the news agenda, or how they want it to appear. It’s not what we talk about while watching our kid’s play football.

It seems to me most people are talking about AI most of the time tbh

It's all quite odd, I agree. My operating assumption is that our media/political class have gone insane while the rest of the country hasn't.

I'd say neither. Much of the media has been that way inclined forever, and the others pushing it do so for clicks/ratings. The shittier the media is, the shittier the gullible/awful folk get, then the shittier they get, the media responds by getting shittier.
