Examining media framing and how information is reported and tilted in ways that are destructive to useful discourse, and other failures of journalism in the context of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. More of a rant by the end. Interesting to note it was right around this time – and I mean it literally may have been the day I filmed this – that I made the decision to go back to college and elevate my own skills. Also, I used to make a lot more puns and little in-jokes and things in my titles, I wonder when I stopped doing that. Probably because it’s crap for SEO.
This is what my media criticism looked like *before* I was objectively qualified to do it at a professional level.
