Corporate Media Has Decided Your Suffering Is Inconvenient [View all]
There’s a certain tone the American media adopts when it has decided that the public is asking too much of it: the demeanor of a patient parent explaining that ice cream is not dinner, even though everybody wants it to be.
Last week, The Washington Post published a headline that captured this perfectly with a straight face: “Why you may not want lower prices as much as you think you do.”
On Tuesday, it followed this up with, “Actually, today’s food prices are a bargain.”
(We pause here to note that Jeff Bezos, the owner of the Post, is the largest individual shareholder in Whole Foods, which is notorious for its not-so-bargain prices. If you really don’t want lower prices, as Bezos’ newspaper is trying desperately to convince you, Whole Foods is a great place to start shopping.)
