still treats autism as a mental health condition

Wait what? What is autism if not a mental health condition?

The majority of the population aren't able to employ critical thinking and are just easily lead towards shitty decisions.

But.. but.. democracy!

Those reasons aren't known

What makes you think that?

The migrants are typically arriving illegally and don't want the attention of interviews.

The migrants depart as well as arrive. I find it hard to believe that the media has no knowledge whatsoever of what kind of motives these people have. If they didn't have such knowledge, I would expect them to at least state that the motives are unknown. Instead what I find is just a void of any mention of motivations whatsoever, to the point that it gives the appearance of an intentional blackout. Hence my question: why?

Greece, and say that there's extremely high unemployment there

I think we're talking about different phenomena here. This is the kind of thing I'm talking about, which isn't Greek citizens looking for work:

Edit: I see you're talking about NPR which I believe is American. To be clear I'm talking about British media. Perhaps foreign media doesn't have the same appearance of a blackout.

I'm not sure what you mean by "direct"ing you to a diet.

"Eat low amounts of carbohydrates in a plant-based diet." Is that direction enough?

[–] rah@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago (7 children)

A high carbohydrate and so high insulin-producing plant-based diet certainly isn't healthy for me.

What about a low carbohydrate plant-based diet?

because the reason varies from migrant to migrant

I don't see why varying reasons for getting in boats justifies not reporting on those reasons.

Usually there will be a line or two in the report about ... possibly why

I've never seen such a line. Can you provide a reference to one?

someone who isn't in a position to be interviewed

What do you mean by this?

[–] rah@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I'm talking about news media, to be clear. I presumed "report" would make that clear. I've edited the post title to add the word "news".

My question is about the media.

Damned sneaky Ukrainian military installations in journalists' homes.

Or raise awareness to the criminal exploitation migrants suffer to just get a position on the boats

No, I've seen plenty of reporting on that. Never on the reasons they're trying to get a position in the first place though.
