Stupidity of the mass media - FORCED INFO !

I've just watched a movie called ''Don't look up'' with Leonardo DiCaprio.

It's not that easy to understand all the motive of the film, but after watching it I understood everything about it. To brief that I would like to say it's about two scientists who have a strong proof about a comet that will destroy all the earth. Of course, I will not spoil it for you and tell you how it ends, but you can watch the trailer and decide if you would like to watch it or not. Here is the video :

The first thing I liked about the movie is talking about a serious thing in a funny way. Even in the trailer it's written that it's based on true events that didn't happen. But they showed that in a very sarcastic form to make fun of the mass media. I'm surprised sometimes to see movies from a company ''Netflix'' that supports mostly the mass media, making fun of it.

Anyway, my goal is not to review the movie, but to share the picture of the world I can explain through it. As I said, there are two scientists who have a very solid proof about the fact that comet will destroy the earth. They even contacted people from NASA, then a few politicians who didn't care about their truth, and they went to the TV to share what they knew there, and even there all the journalists made them look stupid. Just like they are crazy people who are talking about the end of the world, while most of the space was given to unimportant persons.

The problem here is not only that the mass media spread disinformation sometimes, but also how they themselves believe in what they share and make the public believe it. I think journalists are responsible for the lives of many. They can, or share the truth and don't care about the consequences because they want to be true journalists, or just support the narrative and keep their work unless the changes don't touch them directly. But that could be too late for them.

I understand that most people when they go home and want to relax after a hardworking day, want to consume some light information and don't like to strain their brain. But in this state, it's possible to mix the fun with fake reality that's created by mass media. And people may believe the wrong thing for the rest of their lives. That's why I don't blame people that much, but I blame the mass media that use the situation to put in our heads what they wanted to be realized, or what they believe is true.

That's why we shouldn't consume their content, but consume verified sources of information. But if we had to consume their content, we should be always careful of what they spread and verify the information very well. I also consider the same information campaign, that's spread all around the world, as forced information. Because the alternative is fought everywhere, and they don't even give it a chance. That's the proof that they want to hide it for a reason !

While watching the movie, I just applied everything to the real world, and I've found so many similarities.

Sometimes even the mass media gives the keys to the truth without understanding that. It's funny to observe. lol
