Good points.There is omission and there is commission, and there is also FRAMING, which, of course, takes in elements of both. Omission and commission are the techniques used to enable the framing, but it is really how stories are framed that are important.
Take this modern woke obsession, for instance. To listen to the media, one would think our nation is absolutely filled with racist attacks against blacks at the hands of whites. That is the narrative they sell, and they frame race relationships in this way and this way only. They look for any localized story that meets the requirements of this narrative and make it national news. That is their act of COMMISSION, and they do so by intentionally ignoring the much greater number of racial incidents committed by blacks against whites. As they spin their stories, they intentionally OMIT any information that would lead to a rational evaluation of the incident involved instead of an emotional one that creates a sense of victimhood. Michael Brown? They omitted the fact that he tried to overpower the cop to get his gun. Trayvon Martin? They omitted the fact he had just beaten a Latino man's head into the pavement repeatedly.
Time after time after freaking time, our media spins these stories, and time after freaking time, what they aren't telling us finally comes to life, but this is only after their story has its intended emotional effect. By then, all the uneducated people with short attention spans are on to the next manufactured outrage. How anybody could fail to see this pattern is beyond me, but precious few do.
Coming from the American "Thinker"....yeah..dismissed.Media bias in its two main species
There's always been a bias in news reporting, but now it's really a lot more obvious...and intentional. Why? The purpose of news reporting is no longer primarily holding an audience in order to sell advertising, but rath...www.americanthinker.com
media committing or omitting in much of their so called reporting.
Coming from a deep state stooge like yourself, no surprise there.Coming from the American "Thinker"....yeah..dismissed.
I see you have been reading Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow.There is omission and there is commission, and there is also FRAMING, which, of course, takes in elements of both.

I just finished it.
Actually, I haven't, but maybe I should!I see you have been reading Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow.
With that thinking above, you'd love it. He develops those ideas, and it's highly readable.Actually, I haven't, but maybe I should!
