Conversations with AI--Day 45: News You Can't Use
When Headlines Hijack Your Thinking and you keep repeating them—thinking you're fighting the system, when you’re actually working for the system that profits off your outrage
It sounds like information.
But it’s bait.
The kind of “news” people repeat isn’t designed to inform.
It’s designed to inflame.
It doesn’t help you live better.
It doesn’t guide you toward solutions.
It doesn’t open your mind.
It just keeps you mad enough to stay tuned.
The modern media cycle — especially the politicized kind — doesn’t offer context. It offers outrage sugarcoated in identity.
“They’re coming for your kids.”
“Woke is destroying America.”
“You can’t say anything anymore.”
“The real America is under attack.”
You’ve heard it. Over and over.
It’s not information.
It’s wrapped bait — and you’re not the audience.
You’re the target.
Real news helps you think.
This kind? It trains you to repeat.
And repetition is the religion.
