Me: Does usury plus usury unawareness influence the content of the news. Emoting the audience to a mob?

ChatGPT (jan23):

It’s possible that usury and usury unawareness could influence the content of news and media in a number of ways. For example, if the media is owned or controlled by individuals or corporations who have a financial interest in promoting usury, they may focus on stories that downplay the negative effects of usury or present it in a positive light. Additionally, if the media is not providing accurate information about usury and its impact on individuals and communities, it could contribute to a lack of awareness and understanding about the issue among the general public.

It’s also possible that the negative impacts of usury, such as financial insecurity and poverty, could be used as a tool to manipulate and control the audience. Media can exploit people’s emotions and frustrations by promoting sensationalist stories that play on fear, anger, and resentment, and using those emotions to direct public opinion in a certain way. This can also contribute to the creation of mob mentality which can lead to violent or destructive behavior.

It’s important to note that news and media can have a powerful influence on public opinion and understanding of issues. It’s important to be aware of the potential biases and agenda of the news outlets, and to seek out diverse and credible sources of information in order to form a well-informed opinion.
