Still black and white

    If today (August 7), coach Kim Sang-sik wears a white shirt and the Vietnamese team wins against the Cambodian team (very likely), isn't that shirt color no longer black!? But today's black and white story is not about the Korean strategist.

    That is the story of the reporters and how the public is led to perspectives on social issues.

    At the press conference before the Canadian Open, world No. 1 female tennis player, Aryna Sabalenka, expressed her agreement with the WTA's new regulations on gender testing. "Biologically, men are much healthier than women, so I feel it would be unfair if women had to compete with men with biological bodies," the Belarusian tennis player said.

    However, the Toronto Sun reported: "Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka and Sophie Cunningham (American female basketball player) support banning transgender athletes". This headline angered female tennis legend Martina Navratilova. On page X, she quoted an article from the Toronto Sun and wrote: "Can't you guys report accurately???? Aryna has never mentioned anything related to transgender people. And no transgender athletes are banned from participating in sports. Do it again properly, Toronto Sun!!!!".

    This reaction is a testament to the disease of "information color change" in modern media. When a sentence is separated from the context, molded from "white" to "black", it is primarily a matter of professional ethics. Because of index pressure or interaction, content is distorted into deliberately manipulating readers' psychology, not technical errors or operational errors.

    But, it must also be seen that the media is providing what the market craves. The explosion of distorted and sensational headlines also reflects a reality about social tastes: Attention is being drawn too much towards drama, scandals and negative conflicts. It is the psychology of curiosity, liking to pry and eagerness for drama that becomes the "motivation" for that type of black and white change to exist.

    Life is inherently colorful, with good and bad, both positive and negative, but with a team standing in an objective position, imposing views, thoughts or "stuffing words" clearly only makes you lose credibility and position.

    And sometimes you don't even need to be white and still make it even whiter. That's what people call "flirting".

    He knows someone who always complains and laments. When it's sunny, he complains of heat. When it rains, he complains of dampness. When there are few customers, he says bad luck. When there are many customers, he complains of fatigue. Whatever happens can become evidence that life is treating him unfairly. Listening to it, he feels that if one day that person wins the lottery, he will probably find a reason to be sad. Maybe because he has to pay taxes, because relatives borrow money, or because he is worried about not knowing how to spend it all.
