I still wouldnt eat raw oysters.
Its probably better to get farmed oysters in this regard, but I've heard too many stories of people picking up and sucking down fresh oysters in the wild and getting pretty bad food poisoning from Vibriosis. And thats in the same waters as some major oyster farms in the Pacific Northwest.
There's no noticable difference between bad and good oysters, but you can kill the bacteria through cooking. Oysters are water filters. Who knows what they've filtered out of our water? Cook em, I say.

Well, I can say judging by their name, they’re probably a fellow Virginian. We have really good oysters in a decently managed aquaculture. The other guy with vibriosis concerns is on the west coast. Perhaps Pacific oysters are more prone to it? I also like raw oysters and have never been sick. The past decade it’s been predominantly Rappahannock oysters.

Yes. And it’s even worse when you consider social media feeds. My (now ex) girlfriend was very liberal and when I’d see her scrolling on her feed it was nonstop ‘Trump is literally Hitler. Here’s why.’ posts. Meanwhile, if I peaked at a conservative friend’s feed it would be nonstop ‘Obama is literally Hitler. Here’s why.’ posts.
It’s very disturbing that two people in the same place can have completely opposite world views depending solely on the sources they use.
I cancelled most of my social media soon after. I stopped watching the news years earlier. When there’s an important topic I need to know about, I MUST hear both sides of the issue FROM THEIR SOURCES before forming an opinion.

I hear you, and get where you’re coming from….but only one of those former presidents just had dinner with the ‘I love hitler and go death con 3 on the Jews’ guy (after both those things were common knowledge) so like…maybe one side’s sources have some better points despite the obvious layer of hysteria, and maybe we don’t need to hear from both sides sources - one can critically think about various angles of issues without indulging tribal propaganda.

u/iheartrandom Dec 02 '22
A better way than trying the "both sides" approach is to look outside of America for how the world views our stories. Pick a media outlet or a few that you think are reliable, fact-first, and not us based. Check those first. You'll get far more accurate news and less opinion. Good luck out there

The EU angle is relatively easy to summarize: bewilderment about all your gun deaths and how an orange could become president, kinda glad for the support with Ukraine but uncomfortable with US nationalism and power plays. Also there's a risk of a trade war between EU and US due to the Inflation Reduction act, at least Macron is pissed. W.r.t CNN versus Fox News: CNN lost a lot of respect in the last few years, but Fox News has been viewed as a complete circus and is generally despised.

u/Orangelilyprincess Dec 02 '22
As someone who studied International Relations, this absolutely spot on. I also wouldn't refer to Reuters as neutral either, but compared to CNN and Fox honestly everything looks moderate. I would strongly recommend everyone to read a variety of sources for their consumption of global news. Not only news agencies from our own countries, but also others- even those that aren't in a political/military/economic alliance with our own country. I think generally it helps keeps a well-rounded attitude towards all sorts of news, and makes you understand the complexities of issues. Nothing is truly black and white. Sometimes what we call other countries' news as propaganda, is also what other countries are accusing us for. I would also recommend knowing the news agencies' attitudes towards their own governments as well. If it's too positive, but also too negative (in the sense that it's only critical for the sake of being critical), healthy criticism is warranted. You want those that are fair in both their criticisms and support.

u/ctl-alt-replete Dec 02 '22
You’re right in that one side WILL have better points. I want to decide that for myself. The scary thing about propaganda is that you don’t know it’s propaganda until you’re exposed to the other side. So you’re wrong that ‘you don’t need to hear both sides’. Propaganda, by definition, is when you’re spoonfed only one side of the story. People in North Korea truly believe they live in the most advanced nation on earth, because they’ve never seen anything else.
42
u/AlexanderDaychilde Dec 02 '22
The flip side of that is that listening to North Korea and South Korea and assuming the real truth must be in the middle of those is dangerous as well. So it's not good to listen to "both sides" if one side is outright lying.
If everyone was equally trying to tell the truth, then your idea would have merit. But that's not the case.

Yet if one were to look at how many drone strikes one of those presidents ordered and how many wars he started and military interventions, etc. vs how the other one said mean things on Twitter it becomes easy to see how it is very important to have multiple sources and only a fool would think the morality of these leaders are as black and white as you paint them to be.

u/hulking1234 Dec 02 '22
Not painting anything as black and white - but you also highlight my point. If you are differentiating media sources, ‘right wing’ and ‘left wing’ operate within a bubble that allows for those extremes but also ignores the ‘third side’. Corporate media is garbage, but some of that garbage is in a neatly packed bag and some of it is a flaming pile of shit left on your porch. Id rather deal with the former than the latter.

u/ctl-alt-replete Dec 02 '22
You’re missing the point entirely. The question isn’t: Is Trump more Hitler than Obama?
Please understand what the issue is. The issue is that, if you only hear one side of the story, you could end up believing that the wrong guy is guilty. There’s a reason why, in a court of law, both sides get to argue their points. THEN the jury decides who is right and wrong. Don’t you agree that’s necessary?
Don’t make this about something else.

Non-american here, if you use wars and civilian drone strikes as data to establish that, Obama might come out way closer to Hitler than Trump does
Of course, if we ignore belligerency and death counts (which are a minor aspect of Hitler's character anyway), then sure, Trump is practically Hitler

Hello! This is work done to measure bias in our information diet by comparing what different mainstream media sources are focusing on.
Headlines are scraped daily from front pages and topically assigned to do analysis. All visualizations are coded using Observable, a d3-based library to make data visualization more beautiful and open. Stories are topically assigned using state of the art NLP language models and clustering algorithms. Attention scores use a custom-formula based on how far a headline ranks on each source's front page. Think the higher it ranks at the top, the higher the attention score.
- Top ranked banner headline has an attention score ~1
- Half way through (10th ranked headline) has an attention score of ~0.5
- Towards the bottom (30th ranked headline) has an attention score of <0.05
If three stories on Event A are ranked half way through on source X and one story on Event A is ranked at the top of source Y, then Source X will still have a higher attention score for source X since we add up all three attention scores (0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5) > 1.0

You argue in your post title that media divides people. But people have a choice to buy Fox news, buy CNN news, both or neither. Because of this, it seems bizarre to claim "the media" does the dividing. The data indicates people divide themselves. The alternative, of a single monolithic news media message (a la state censored media), wouldn't have a "uniting" effect. It would just mask the different interests in media consumers.
9
u/Oh_my_pi_also Dec 01 '22
Perhaps a better description might be that media amplifies division. People do choose which outlet they use to align with their interests, but then the slant in which news is reported reinforces and widens the already existing division making a small crack become a gapping chasm. It's a self reinforcing loop.
There have been periods where more neutral reporting on some subjects was the norm in the US, see the popularity of reporters like Walter Cronkite, and that was not explicitly "State Media". The media chooses controversy because controversy makes money, but consumers are now confused because entertainment is being marketed as news. Which widens division.

Journalists rarely write the headlines, it's usually the editor. That's why you'll frequently see a headline like "X person just said this controversial thing" and then when you read it they're being totally rational. The journalist is writing an article then the editor is trying to find a way to sensationalize the headline to get people to click on it.

“Backed by conservative lawmakers, the state's "critical race theory" law took effect in December and prohibits teachers from discussing "a widely debated and currently controversial issue of public policy or social affairs." There have not been many policies put in place implementing the state law, Huddleston said, but some schools are taking action to decide what books and reading materials students should have access to.
Many of those actions are book bans and generally target the history of racism, racial inclusion, gender identity and LGBTQ+ inclusion, she added.”

This says more about what the people using those sites are clicking and what types of stories keep the users engaged the longest. The ad spaces and the subscription numbers drive the content.
An interesting analysis would be to track the ad types on the same stories across the platforms. Do the same stories get the same ad types? Targeted ads normally payout more, so which platforms make the most?
It's in none of the interests of the platforms to promote 'fair and balanced' news if it leads to lower revenue.

I expect a portion of the difference is the medium TV vs web. But I also know the web is far from static, so a hit or miss as to if coverage is tracked by your capture app.
Perhaps google Simon Willison and find his article on page version capture to Github, this harvesting the differences. You may observe results that differ greatly from what you report now.

Fox didn't mention the seditious conspiracy convictions at all???? My god. You would think that the leader of an extremist group being convicted of one of the most serious and rare charges in the US criminal code would warrant at least a mention.

Fox be like, it's part of history and all, but sedition against the state just doesn't shift dick pills and arthritis creams.

It’s the news outlets and the political parties (both sides) that are dividing us and making us forget that we are all citizens of this beautiful country.
Politicians’ attempts at division is the strongest during election years, and perversely the same folks who divide us often tell us that it’s now “time to heal and come together” after they win whatever race they were in.

Wow, the huge disparity in reporting between the Idaho murders (4 people killed with a knife) and the Walmart shooting (6 people killed with a gun) are terrifyingly telling.

Sort of? I feel like that one's a bit misleading. Isn't the Idaho story more than a week old? I think CNN covered it when it happened, but Fox is still covering it and it's largely dropped off the radar at CNN.

I find this hard to believe because all I ever hear about on Reddit is Elon musk and Twitter and everyone here is to the left of Bernie.

Bit of horseshoe-like theory going on. The far right Fox audience is celebrating Musk "bringing back free speech" while left leaning reddit is lamenting that all the nazis are being replatformed. Both are very interested in Musk news, for opposite reasons.
Centrist CNN doesn't really care either way.

I'm more into the story to eat popcorn and watch how fast you can destroy a tech company.

Interesting how many topics fox news ignores entirely. It's almost as if there's stuff they don't want people to know about...

Kind of looks more like CNN is more likely to fear monger vs fox complaining about identity politics and talking about Elon.

Talking about actual sedition that happened is fear mongering? Or a public service?
Your bias is showing.

this needs to be published every week. When I go see the in-laws, I actually catch up on Fox news so I'll know what kinda batshit crazy theories theyre onto at the moment.

my elderly mother is a hardcore Democrat and addicted to CNN. About a month ago she watched Fox News for a bit and told me she was pleasantly surprised at how neutral the coverage was.
