Danish news site reminds people of being skeptical of how news photographers take pictures. Here is the same place, one picture taken with a zoom lense, and the other with a wide-angle lense: nyheder.tv2.dk/samfund/2020-0… Image
To all the people now saying "It's not the same people" ... look again: Image
If you want more proof... same piece of cardboard on the sidewalk Image

One thing that makes me absolutely furious is when a news site takes accurate data and then misrepresents it into something that is inaccurate.

To me, this is the biggest crime a newspaper can make. You took truth and turn it into false.
An example is this article, where OMG OMG OMG... things are really bad:

So... let's look at numbers.

As you can see here, traffic fatalities have dropped quite a lot over the past 20 years, and then it has more or less leveled out.

After seeing the tweets from @jayrosen_nyu and others today, I think we need an intervention.

So here is a quick thread (well, quick-ish) ;)
First of all, yes, we have problems with the media. Big problems. I myself reached my limit of how much I could take in 2019, and I was deeply frustrated by how journalistic behavior was directly facilitating some of the biggest problems we face today.

I hate saying this, but I fundamentally believe that news journalism is broken. Let me give you an example:
Yesterday, 97% of the Danish politicians, across the party lines, agreed to a 70% reduction of CO2 to save the climate. The only two parties that didn't agree to it was a tiny center party and our ultra-right-wing party. (each representing a tiny 1.5% of the public)
The ultra-right-wing party is noticeable here because, over the past several months, it has been running on a misleading anti-climate campaign, where their party leader has repeatedly stated incorrect things about the climate.
