I’m appalled that election protection on many information retailers of every type merely reviews the same old “who’s forward, who’s behind, who’s gone” in native and nationwide elections. Sure, outcomes are the purpose, however the journey to get there (honest, unfair, purged voters, AI deepfakes, lies and reality) issues a lot. It isn’t simply who wins, it is how the “sport” is performed. Cash in politics buys politicians and political outcomes lately, and that could be a recipe for catastrophe for the planet, folks and all residing beings. Tearing down your political opponents however providing no doable cures shouldn’t be passable. With the information media operating out of time to appropriate course, this issues immensely now.
What I need to see in 2024, beginning now, is investigative journalism and reporting that exposes the insurance policies candidates and events are selling, who’s funding them, and whether or not their strategies are moral and truthful. Phrases actually matter and authorities insurance policies matter a lot to our every day lives, however will we get the knowledge we’d like from the information media? Or will propaganda, lies and sins of omission in lazy cowl allow those that may ship the nation on a downward trajectory?
