The Argument Culture: Second Post (The Press)
The press may not mean to create a culture of argumentation, but they certainly don’t do anything about it when it’s pointed out to them. They still use images of war and conflict and they still set up and foster confrontation. They are convinced that it sells and until someone can convince them on a massive scale otherwise, nothing is likely to change. And how do you convince the media of something when they really only know how to talk, rather than listen or observe? The answer is you probably can’t.
