- What kinds of news stories, topics, or issues are not being covered well by mainstream papers? How does the internet or alternative news sources help address this problem? Give an example.
there's alot of things that aren't being covered by the media honestly
-racism
-any other political view than the left
-men's issues
-mental health issues
for racism i feel like the world is looking at the topic only from one perspective, the racism faced by african americans. in no way am i invalidating their experiences or trying to say that black issues are not important. i just feel like we are disregarding the racism that asian people face. "ur just saying that bc ur asian" thats....the point....// it feels like no one talks about the things asian people go through like decades ago asian people started to be discriminated against with the vietnam war and even the japanese internment camps // and are we not gonna talk about how we're portrayed in the media?? there are like 4 different roles that asian people fill: geek, comedic foreign person, exotic, mysterious. can we get some more representation here???? it keeps asian people in a small box
and if you even think something other than something progressive you get hunted down like how many genders there are or if you think abortion is morally right
and nobody listens to men's issues its all about how much women are oppressed and how horrible men are. men who are raped (yes men can be raped) don't speak up about it because they know no one would care about it// they even acknowledge that some people believe men cant be raped because power struggles and whatever
mental health issues are still overlooked. take thirteen reasons why for example: its a show about how this girl killed herself because everything in her life went wrong and she records tapes about specific people who she blames for her death. the first season i guess was alright because the goal was "to prevent suicide by showing the effects on other people" or whatever bullshit. and now they're making a season 2???? for fucking what???? what else do yall want us to know?? the message that wasn't even there in the first place is now lost because they want to tell a good story.
suicide rape and abuse should not be fucking entertainment for the media
you don't get to make money off of the stories of millions of people who suffer with depression and don't speak up about it
