u.k. is losing its mind over "its coming home" england football euros

[Simulacrasimulation]

The crazy hype and media coverage of this event is bordering on schizophrenic, crazy amounts of time and attention in the media and "news" regarding this one topic, being milked to death from every conceivable angle, they are started to report on what harry kane has for breakfast kek. Almost like it has any tangible effect on the population at large, like it will actually change the working classes lives one jot if we do or dont win.

I think this hyper focus on this issue is INSANE GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL HUMANITARIAN PROBLEMS IN THE U.K. ALONE LET ALONE WORLD, butttttt nooooooo wall to wall coverage on BBC 20 30 minute slots on the top of the program and EVERYTHING ELSE HAS 1 MINUTE SLOTS DEVOTED TO IT, THIS FUCKING ISSUE IS GETTING 50 % OF THE AIRTIME ITS INSANE.

ALSO this is coming from a big football fan and avid player student of the game who started playing at 5 years old and im an oldcel, ITS JUST ITS GOT NO PLACE IN THE SERIOUS NEWS, FOOTBALL AT BEST IS A SPORT. AND IS BY DEFINITION ONE OF THE MOST ELITEST AND UNEQUALLY DISTRIBUTED SECTORS OF THE ECONOMY IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THE WINNERS LITERALLY TAKE IT ALL THE TOP 100 PLAYERS L;ITERALLY WIN ALL THE WAGES INFRASTRUCTURE AND STATUS.

This hyper focus makes it very obvious the role of the news and its populist nature, if an issue is popular by definition is "good" AND IS PUSHED TO THE HILT BY THE MEDIA CORPS, there is no impartiality if this goes on THERE BY DEFINITION CANT BE AS THE WHOLE CAKE IS THE AMOUNT OF COVERAGE AND AIRTIME DEVOTED TO EACH SUBJECT MATTER.

The media isnt there to tackle issues or give you actual news. It is there to divert your attention to meaningless, fabricated shit so you don't realize that you're a frog being slowly boiled.

This, thats why TV is filled with reality show, you get distracted by other people lives while your own goes down the drain.

They are pushing this shit hard here in Italy too. I guess countries can pay the uefa/fifa to make their teams go as far as possible in the tournament and distract the population

I was glad to see England lose because they are the same fans who boo James McClean every touch he has because he is Irish nationalist who refused to buy into the poppy wearing cult.
