“It’s wild to blatantly lie.” Let’s unpack this one line at a time. ⸻ 🔹 Fox framing: “Kamala Harris lied to a podcaster.” 🚨 Real story? A career politician dodged an interview request. That’s not news — that’s the status quo. But let’s dig deeper. ⸻ 🔹 Andrew Schulz isn’t mad about policy. He’s mad she wouldn’t come on his show. So we’ve now reached a point where personal snubbing = political scandal… Meanwhile, actual lies with consequences? Ignored. ⸻ 🔹 Where was this energy when Trump’s team lied about election results? Where was Fox’s moral outrage when children were actually being caged, when wars were being escalated, when COVID death numbers were downplayed? That wasn’t “wild” to them. But skipping a podcast? Oh, that’s a five-alarm fire. ⸻ 🔹 This isn’t about truth. It’s about controlling the narrative. Kamala Harris is deeply flawed. But Fox doesn’t care about honesty — they care about optics. They’re not covering truth. They’re manufacturing outrage for clicks. ⸻ 🔹 Let’s keep it real: If Andrew Schulz wants to influence elections, he should run for office — not cry on camera because a VP ghosted his booking agent. ⸻ 📢 Stop falling for this sleight of hand. You’re being told to focus on personal drama while your rights are being shredded in courtrooms. ⸻ Tagging: @PodSaveAmerica @mehdirhasan @AOC @TheDailyShow @kaepernick7 @CoriBush @ProjectLincoln @TheDemCoalition @ACLU @IndivisibleTeam @TheDemocrats #JURIS #MediaLiteracy #FoxLies #SchulzGate #KamalaHarris #OutrageMachine

Nationalism is a strange beast. 70-80 Hindus perish in stampedes due to poor management—no uproar. But 26 Hindus are killed by terrorists, and suddenly, it’s war. Selective outrage at its finest. 🧠💥 #SelectiveNationalism #OutrageMachine

You weaponized #outragemachine when promoting the candidacy of Semakande now suddenly what was good for the gander isn't good for the geese @AloikinOpoloje

Get help, Praise. Get help. You really need it. I say this with the utmost respect and concern. You’re just a weaponized #OutrageMachine with very little else to offer. This can’t last.

The #OutrageMachine will twist words to fit a certain narrative. Even churches aren’t spared these days. Pay no mind to them. Just #BangTheTable

Blah! Blah! Blah! @billshortenmp is exactly right. The @greens under your leadership are no more than an #OutrageMachine. Seriously when Pauline Hanson comes across as more reasonable that #TheGreens you have lost relevance. #Auspol

@TobiasRose investigates how the #internet drains our most finite resource– our #attention. This digital onslaught is already impairing our brains and could have disastrous implications for #society and #democracy. At #SYNAPSE2024 the author of Outrage Machine takes a critical look at this collective loss of focus, and how best to tame tech’s destructive impulses.

Outrage Machine has been selected as The 2023 Most Useful Non-Obvious Book in the @inc Non-Obvious Book Awards. Congratulations to @TobiasRose, and the entire team at @legacylitbooks. @non_obvious #nonobvious #incmagazine #outragemachine @HachetteUS

Just finished reading 'Outrage Machine.' by @TobiasRose. It's a thought-provoking book that charts the internet's journey from a utopian dream to a platform that increasingly amplifies polarizing views. 📚 The book points out a troubling trend: our online spaces are often dominated by extreme emotions, like outrage, which are fueled by the platforms' desire to make a profit. 💻 As 2024's elections draw near, it's increasingly important to understand this complex digital terrain. How can we, as users of these platforms, be more responsible? How can we critically evaluate the information we share? 🤔 It's equally important to discuss the role of these platforms. The book talks about a theory – that every new form of media initially passes through a 'Dark Valley of Hidden Harm' before finding a balance. How can platforms move towards a healthier, more constructive phase? I'd love to hear your thoughts. What role do you see for yourself in this narrative? What changes should platforms make to foster a more balanced digital conversation? Let's be #OneStepAhead and chat. 🌐 @astroehlein @jameskanter @TheresaAFallon @BrusselsGeek @ktowens @marsivano @GambaroGaia @seb_tarnowski #fakenews #outragemachine #internet #socialmedia

Interesting how @Dexerto Is just lying. I'm not a musk fan boy or Twitter fan boy, but they are NOT telling the truth. Misleading is an understatement, they are just trying to build outrage and its working/worked #dexerto #outragemachine

Facts. It's the #outragemachine. Getting tired of seeing false outrage.

For my book #52 on the goal of #52books2023, I selected "#OutrageMachine: How Tech Amplifies Discontent, Disrupts Democracy - And What We Can Do About It" by @TobiasRose, Introduction by @JonHaidt. @legacylitbooks @audible_com

Hmph! From the outpouring of rage, I was expecting hot, Barbie pink. That could be salmon, coral, even azalea. #NothingToSeeHere but the #OutrageMachine...

Not a moment too soon, this critical book diagnoses the problem but more importantly, provides solutions. Proud that this summer's must-read is by our friend and long-ago officemate @TobiasRose. #outrage #socialmedia #outragemachine #ElonMusk

Thank you @stltoday for selecting #OutrageMachine as a vacation read. buff.ly/3N92sDd

How has the internet become a source of anger & distraction? How has it trained us to react rather than reflect, attack rather than debate? From the printing press to new media, this book looks at the challenges & offers realistic solutions. #OutrageMachine is out on 11th July.
