Oh, no worries, there. I didn't think you were (not that there would be anything wrong with that).
> I can understand that there is a decent amount of frustration around "why can't you just fix it" its just not that simple.
My response to you was more or less to say you're preaching to the choir. I'm an industry professional, too and I agree with what you're saying. I can be blunt so I don't mean to be insulting in my tone, either. I just want to reel this in and focus on the bullshit I am calling out.
It's just not on-point. If anything, I'm more concerned with stupid people reporting inflammatory accusations which are only going to serve as obstacles to people like you and myself. This can throw a wrench in the works, this half-ass reporting.
For anyone, especially in this political era, who hasn't read The Truth Matters, I highly recommend it. All this lying, spin, hearsay, propaganda, calling real journalism fake news, etc. can be dealt with if we call people on their bullshit. It plots simple and effective ways of analyzing such. Which reminds me, I have a copy of On Bullshit I keep meaning to get to.
Try LA Paul's Transformative Experience, and maybe Ruth Chang's TED Talk on hard choices.
Also Williamson's Tetralogue is great, and Frankfurt's On Bullshit is a lot of fun, and politically relevant.
On Bullshit by Harry G. Frankfurt.
