Is your mother a five year old with no capacity for critical thinking? Does she have no self-control, and require the news to tell her how to perceive things?
I feel like you don't understand how news media works today.
News media in the past was about the news.
Just the facts.
Or at least it was presented as such in a non-salacious manner that was largely boring, without overt political bent.
Then the Vidal vs Buckley debates happened and all of a sudden in your face debates became en vogue.
Fast forward to today, the news is presented through a filter right or left.
There is no middle, the networks have their agendas, right (i.e. Fox) and left (i.e. MSNBC). People watch the network that confirms their own personal bias.
Because it validates your own world view. And that feels good.
So when you have the thing that validates your world view framing something to be good or bad, that's engrained. It's a first impression is the one that will likely be strongest.
So it's not as simple as telling someone your world view, when they have their own.
This is why I'm upset about this situation.
I'm very much of the opinion that the less of this guy the world sees, the less he can spread his message to vulnerable people who maybe don't have someone like you or me to try and explain WHY Yiannopoulos is such a threat.
I'm also of the opinion that asshats like him should be allowed to say what they want so we know they are asshats and can protest against them in a peaceful manner. I'd much rather know Yiannopoulos is a giant tool than have him keep all his bullshit inside and leave it feaster so long he did something like a Dylan Roof...
