How Media Actually Works, Summed Up In One Clever Comic
If you take a deeper look, the news media isn’t as honest as it seems. Reporters often blur the lines between facts and fiction to make a story more appealing for their audience. Dustin Rogers, a comics author and app developer from Columbus, Ohio, has cleverly exposed the dirty side of corporate news agencies in his latest webcomic News Dogs.
Dustin portrays news using a consumption cycle and compares it to hot dogs. I won’t spoil the rest, but let’s just say that it cleverly reminds us to thoroughly digest everything the media feeds us.

Any comment to this posting is inherent irony...
And still we go on.
And you still comment
I am not smart enough to understand this. Care to explain?
He basically indicates that social media comments are bullshit. Thus, if we post social media comments here, reflecting on his drawing, it is bullshit according to the drawing. :D
@Hans To be fair the drawing only shows that one's comments are (bull)shit if one swallowed the "news dog." But, personally, I am OK with a more general interpretation. :)
While I know that news outlets "cultivate" their new stories, this is not the source of fake news. People are getting their news from social media headlines, not even the whole story. They read and post and then never check up on the facts. I don't think the media is to blame so much as the overall culture of ADD information absorption.
They dont even read the post! Just the headlines!
So true
True
That's a dairy cow.... Where did the steaks come from?
OMG it's a cartoon. Chill out.
