USA Today accused of framing inequality as young versus old
Original: It seems like USA today is trying to create a young versus old conflict instead of a super rich versus the rest of us co
USA Today is being criticised for allegedly framing economic inequality as a conflict between young and old generations rather than between the ultra-wealthy and everyone else. Critics argue that averages suggesting generational prosperity are skewed upward by billionaires, masking the reality of a K-shaped economy where gains concentrate at the top while most people fall behind.
Why now: Frustration over media framing of inequality as generational rather than class-based, amid ongoing debate about wealth concentration
Evidence
- It seems like USA today is trying to create a young versus old conflict instead of a super rich versus the rest of us conflict. The averages, of course, are being pushed up by the billionaires. # economy # kshapedeconomy # eattherich # guillotine · CheapPontoon@beige.party · 5
