RE: "NO MEDECINE, SCHOOL OR RULES - OFFGRID PARENTING" (As reported by ITV)
What I am trying to get at is the bigger picture of how the media(news and tv in this case) take an innocent situation and manipulate it to seem bad.
Yeah, that would probably have been a good post. I wish that you had focused on that and not how terrible the interview was.
So were there follow-up TV news stories about this family? Or was it just people being nasty in the comment section and on Facebook? And if it was on the news, was it the same station or News Show or interviewer who slammed them later on?
Thanks and I was trying for that narrative. Can't get it right every time.
In ref to your Q about the follow up articles, they were all about the same family and they seemed to carry on following them for months after. I suppose it was a story that sold papers but then to link this family with stories of sex-robots basically giving no opposing argument, other than this family is weird and I quote "unnatural". This to me is a great example of how the media work together. The family was never the point and they never intended it to be, the point was to ridicule those who live like this, before folk get to look for themselves. It's kind of beating us to the punch and once folk have this image of "off-gridding" they stick with it.
yes.
By the way, thanks for taking my criticisms so well.
I wish you all the best!
As I couldn't remove the tag, I have tried to iron out some of the confusion and false narratives. I hope this make my point a little clearer and sorry for the confusion.
