One of the features of all media, even the better ones, is what they ignore or leave out. Almost all of what is covered is what is within the orthodox realm, regardless of how they cover it. Degrowth falls within the unorthodox, hence largely neglected. One reason why platforms like this one are so important. thanks!!
Hi Matt... Check out an important book, 'Propaganda’ (Formation of Men’s Attitudes) by Jacques Ellul. Mainstream media is parasitical in nature ... which undeniably influences us all to varying degrees. Even as the book was written more than 40 years ago, it is an amazing effort to understand and perhaps raise awareness, about the “pernicious and detrimental” effects of propaganda, that we live through our entire lifetimes. The book is an essential myth-buster, to understand why propaganda can be all pervasive and why is it so difficult to vanquish.

It is still a poorly framed term.
