Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy | Batya Ungar-Sargon

pick

4.0 Stars • "Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy" by Batya Ungar-Sargon argues that the transformation of journalism from a blue-collar profession to an elite, highly educated field has shifted media focus from class issues to identity politics, particularly race. ⬇️

suvata This shift, according to Ungar-Sargon, serves the interests of urban, upper-class liberals, thereby neglecting the broader democratic needs of all citizens, including the working class. The book critiques how this "woke" media undermines democracy by creating a culture war around identity, which distracts from real economic and social issues, ultimately consolidating power among liberal elites.@ 2mo

1. Last year, Universal Studios in Osaka Japan!

2. No. There's barely time to get to all the stuff we want to see/do/ride, let alone read.

jewright I so want to go to Japan! Was it a good trip? 3mo

TheSpineView Japan sounds like a wonderful trip! Thanks for playing! 3mo

The_Penniless_Author @jewright Easily the best trip we've taken. If you're ever able to save up the money and time to do it, don't hesitate. It's an easy country to get around, not intimidating at all. Even the most mundane things are interesting to someone who's not from there, so you don't even need a lot of planning. We still visited a decent number of tourist sites, but often just wandering around, shopping and using public transportation was as much fun. 3mo

Ruthiella Thanks for the tag! I‘ve not been to an amusement park in decades and I would never take a book for the same reasons you cite. 3mo

dabbe Will do; thanks for the tag! 😊 3mo

jewright @The_Penniless_Author—My grandfather was stationed there after WWII, so my dad was actually born in Japan. I grew up hearing lots of stories, so I‘ve always wanted to go. 3mo

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!
