Why does media avoid talking about Amazon forest fires?

10 posts in this topic

I'm ashamed to learn about this catastrophe through an Instagram post, but then again, there's only a handful of news outlets that cover this topic. Why do we keep it a secret?

I wouldn't say it's a secret (those are some major news sources you provided), it's just not high enough on people's information priorities. Make of that what you will, but in this particular case, I don't see any sort of media conspiracy going on.

Probably caused by deforestation equipment or something if it’s kept secret.  Although our media, at least our government-funded media has brought up the fires. Some fires in Spain also apparently.

Oh no, I didn't really consider any conspiracy theories and calling it a "secret" was more of an exaggeration. I was just shocked that I had to specifically look for these sources as nothing would come up by default. It's just some social media influencers who try to bring awareness to the matter but the rest of the major media sources stay quiet. (At least for now, probably until #Prayforamazonia explodes)

Because it doesn't earn them $$$$$

Mainstream media is all about what maximizes their $$$$$

People here aren't all that interested in environmental issues, either.

I posted an informative documentary on mining in the Peruvian rainforest, but because it requires time to watch- 1 hour, you poor poor things - and doesn't involve measuring spiral dynamics levels like penis size, folks aren't interested.

How does it serv me and society ?

Fulling your mind with hollow knowledge that only trigger your basic sense.

I don't watch any news at all. I watch many docs but they are not priority.

Have Mastery to do in drawing + music. Improving focus exercice. Reading etc etc etc

We all use our time with attention

@Keyhole praise be.

You don’t need anyone to approve your message as long as it’s coming from the right place ?

and when it is not, it’s your chance to turn your gaze inward, acknowledge, and give the self some love ?

When will the american people realize their oil and drug companies rule their country, pull all the strings, choose and direct their leaders and politicians, make the wars, sell the drugs and arms and profit from both sides.
