Reply to comment by MEMENARDO_DANK_VINCI in [OC] How news stories evolve in the news cycle by PartisanPlayground

Yes but your brain is not a multi billion dollar network supposedly filled with "journalists"

You’re looking at it from your brain and not the populations brain, if it was more likely to make money with a million different stories it would. All of humanity only has so much room in their head for the news and the news knows that if they want any two people to be discussing and thinking the same things at the same time, otherwise being valuable as “news” then they’ll have to focus their attention

I’d also like to point out that these are the stories that are the top 10 not the thousands of other stories made every single day and fighting for these slots

I'd get that for a news show like ABC or CBS but fox and CNN are 24 hour news networks. They have the opportunity to introduce new conversations instead of focusing on the same few ( and dumb most of the time) stories and they mostly do it to keep people watching for advertising. They don't even come at it with differing perspectives beyond what is considered the mainstream left and right.

In the age of the internet we should know that people are capable of focusing on multiple things. Tik tok should show you that there are worldwide superstars you may have never even heard of

The individual is but for the news to have any weight they have to run the same thing more than once and talk about the same thing more than twice

We have a saying in broadcast news. When you’re tired of talking about it is usually when the audience is first hearing about it.

I think you think you made a point, but you did not

What's interesting is that "made a point" does not have one single implementation, but this tends to be not how it appears to a person performing an implementation.

I mean come on, this is a data science subreddit, not /r/politics.

No, you come on and use your words to describe the point YOU want to make. Arguing by allusion is not arguing in good faith. Any Interpretor would have to parse their thoughts through you not being forthcoming with yours.

I've made it above, you are welcome to do with it as you please.

lol, memes are not effective on me, though I suspect they'll be rather influential on 3rd party observers (which is the point perhaps?).

Oh God....how do you know how people you've never met would experience the situation?

Sir: are you putting me on?

What? How do I know that the human psyche changes when met with unknowns vs knowns?

Making a point to yourself is what you did, troll me is also what you did. I didn’t state a meme I informed you that your method of argument is lackluster in a polite discussion, though I didn’t use so many words.

It’s okay if you can’t articulate your point well just try your best! And I’ll help you refine what you actually wanted to say :)

You very well may not know it....it's not exactly common knowledge!

Here you are describing your experience. The experiences of others (more commonly known as "reality", or what "is") are not necessarily the same.

> I didn’t state a meme I informed you that your method of argument is lackluster in a polite discussion, though I didn’t use so many words.

"Not arguing in good faith" is a meme.

meme:

  • an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations.

  • an element of a culture or system of behavior passed from one individual to another by imitation or other nongenetic means.

Haha, I love it!! 🙏 You just earned yourself an updoot, partner!
