Media Manipulation

If there's one thing that the "left" and "right" can both agree on, it's the negative impacts of mass media. The loudest, angriest, most extremist people are the ones that are most often featured on the news, and who gain the most attention on social media. Mass media uses fear and scare tactics are used to manipulate people into seeing threats everywhere. Whether you're on the "left" or the "right," the algorithms prime each of us to truly believe that those on the "other side" are threatening your freedoms, your rights, and your way of life. This t-shirt graphic is a reminder of that.

When we turn the TV off and spend time together, we realize that the fear is fabricated, the threats are exaggerated, and the division is unnecessary.
