What are you doing out of your tankie cage, trying to interact with normal people? Get back! Back I say!

evidence

Are you able to provide references to some of that?

Language evolves

Some language does. The word “granite” means the same now as it did in 1900. Same with “sky” and “goat” and “glass”. And “working class”.

Those reasons aren’t known

What makes you think that?

The migrants are typically arriving illegally and don’t want the attention of interviews.

The migrants depart as well as arrive. I find it hard to believe that the media has no knowledge whatsoever of what kind of motives these people have. If they didn’t have such knowledge, I would expect them to at least state that the motives are unknown. Instead what I find is just a void of any mention of motivations whatsoever, to the point that it gives the appearance of an intentional blackout. Hence my question: why?

Greece, and say that there’s extremely high unemployment there

I think we’re talking about different phenomena here. This is the kind of thing I’m talking about, which isn’t Greek citizens looking for work:

Edit: I see you’re talking about NPR which I believe is American. To be clear I’m talking about British media. Perhaps foreign media doesn’t have the same appearance of a blackout.

I’m not sure what you mean by "direct"ing you to a diet.

“Eat low amounts of carbohydrates in a plant-based diet.” Is that direction enough?

Any evidence to back up what you’re saying?

Edit:

@lemmy.ml

I see. Nevermind :-)

As the language has evolved, the term working class just doesn’t mean what it used to.

I disagree.

The term “working class” means someone whose income is based entirely on selling their labour. It’s nothing to do with job security or social security and never has been. The term is not outdated, it is as relevant as ever.

A high carbohydrate and so high insulin-producing plant-based diet certainly isn’t healthy for me.

What about a low carbohydrate plant-based diet?

formerly working class

Just curious why you refer to the poor people you’re talking about as “formerly” working class?

because the reason varies from migrant to migrant

I don’t see why varying reasons for getting in boats justifies not reporting on those reasons.

Usually there will be a line or two in the report about … possibly why

I’ve never seen such a line. Can you provide a reference to one?

someone who isn’t in a position to be interviewed

What do you mean by this?

Or raise awareness to the criminal exploitation migrants suffer to just get a position on the boats

No, I’ve seen plenty of reporting on that. Never on the reasons they’re trying to get a position in the first place though.

Media gets paid billions to talk shit about migrants.

Eh? By whom?

destroy the planet

We’re not destroying the planet, we’re destroying our offspring (and those of many other species). The planet will still be covered in life after we’re gone.

Orchards are very different from woodland. Trees need to be evenly planted and have much more space than woods. Probably better than nothing but it’s not the kind of CO2-sink woodland the CCC is talking about.
