It's ignoring signals. Yeah there's a lot of shitposting. But there is a reason all of the mainstream newspapers are either turning off or curating comments, and shitposting isn't the main reason. They are pretending that feedback the polity is sending them, don't exist. Ignoring as irrelevant or non-existent anyone that has a bad reaction or psychological suffering to some policy or phenomenon.
They are Manufacturing Consent and it is plain to see. Curating and steering the "mainstream" culture. It's gross. Instead of introspecting and repenting, they keep digging deeper.
I've said this on other forums and I'll repeat it here: Canada just may have the worst, most myopic and pathetic media in the English-speaking world, and something like this only reinforces that.
