TELL ME YOUR MEDIA BIAS WAKE-UP STORIES! Mine: taking Diversity Issues 2 (mandatory). Project assigned on The Google Memo. News coverage, Twitter, class discussion, and prof all agreed that it was a piece of vicious misogyny that I, a maths major, should psychologically 1/3

prepare myself to handle. Being a diligent student, I printed it out and took it to a comfortable chair, took deep breaths, reminded myself not to let the misogyny affect me, and started reading. I kept waiting to find the misogyny, to get the psychological gut-punch I was 2/3

warned it contained. Aside from minor quibbles, I thought it was...fine. I could see how careless readers might misinterpret it or use it to draw overbroad conclusions, but that didn't make it false. Media coverage vs reality made me wonder WTF else they were lying about. /end

These are all interesting!! Have to go get some work done but would like to read more when I return over lunch, so boosting this!
