Quote:Papers like the Guardian and the Observer no longer understand their readerships both because they no longer have exclusive control of their readers' perceptions of what is true and because the reality not least, polarising inequality and climate degradation is becoming ever more difficult to soft-soap.
I'm shocked! truly shocked! that anyone seriously believes any newspaper to give pig's blowjob about their readership. The role of the media has evolved over many decades to be public opinion shapers. To this extent they all pretty much walk in lockstep - albeit with each rag having chosen a demographic of the public on which to perform their witchery and voodoo.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
