Foreign correspondents create the news , so that it conforms to a pre-existing narrative.

It’s fruitless to debate the culture-war confections of the rightwing press https://t.co/rG3nsZ76GY

 The newspapers promoting myths about Muslims and ‘snowflakes’ are making news, not reporting it

The media are often not the impartial observers that this scenario assumes. Sometimes, the journalist looks out of the window, finds that it is dry, but ends up giving the impression that it is raining anyway.

there are some parts of the British press that, for a long time, have not simply reported the news, but done their bit to create it, so that it conforms to a pre-existing narrative.

This is how we become numb to the extent of the distortion, and its dangers.

That there is a high incidence of hate crime against Muslims is entirely to be expected, or, if one takes a look at the deluge of hostile false allegations in the press against anti-racism movements, it’s not surprising that people are booing footballers taking the knee. These aren’t mysteries, they are inevitabilities.
