How to Be Right

How to Be Right delves into some of the thorniest issues that author O’Brien had to deal with throughout his career as a radio host in London, where he came across provocative arguments, people who love to debate just for the sake of it, and many others who used manipulation to get their point across.

The media has a significant impact on how people think, and what they believe to be true. For example, the media can favor certain parties or opinions. This will in turn reflect on the everyday person, just like it happened during Brexit.

During Brexit, the media largely favored one side over another. They gave more airtime and column space to those who were in favor of leaving the EU than those who were in favor of staying within it.

As a result, many people who didn’t have strong opinions on the matter started to develop them on their own—because they saw that other people had already made up their minds about it. Later on, when some of the movement’s leaders were put up against their own opinions, they couldn’t argue or defend themselves on the spot.

The same happened when it came to the public opinion of Muslim immigrants. While a majority of them were harmless and hard-working, the media was focusing on extremists. This causese an entire social category a hard time. The result? More people voted for Brexit.

This is why it’s important for journalists to remain unbiased when reporting on current events or issues that are highly controversial. Readers need accurate information from reliable sources in order to make informed decisions about their lives and futures!

A city planner in Birmingham wanted to save costs with light decorations, so he decided to leave all lights on during a time called Winterval. Without changing them with each celebration. Fast forward to a politically correct time, people use the word to replace Christmas and feel offended when others don’t do the same.

The problem is that everything is seen as offensive and it became very troublesome not to upset someone. It’s also very easy not to offend anyone if you don’t know what that even means anymore.

If you are offended by someone’s opinion or actions then you have every right not to associate with them. You can stand up for yourself and not allow others to bully you into believing something that makes you uncomfortable.

In promoting such scandals, the media does more harm than good. Not only do people get more divided, but they are also more afraid to speak their minds. Is this the world we want to live in? If so, political correctness will become the norm
