«Western Europeans believe #crime is rising despite fall in overall rates, poll finds»

What an effin surprise, if #xenophobic trash #tabloids keep harping on about criminal #migrants and men with knives in an incessant repeat loop, those who are easy to fool will be misled.

Question for those currently or recently resident in the UK or otherwise familiar with the UK media:

- Do social media like Xitter exercise a similar influence on British public opinion to that of tabloids in the 70s, 80s, and 90s?

One of the tabloids - I think it’s the Sunday Express - has a headline along the lines of ‘Fears Labour turmoil will wreck Brexit’.

Wreck Brexit! Do you cry or laugh?

You know why the #tabloids hate the idea of #MediaStudies degrees?

Let me explain, I did a media and communication diploma (not even a full degree) and I have never bought a tabloid since. Everytime I look at them all I can see is the bullshit manipulations and lies.

Governments rely on us swallowing that bullshit and asking for more, tabloids would go broke if we stopped believing them.

That is why they ridicule and denigrate the field.

LOL
