When a city has 99% normal, nice, peaceful people, and 1%
decide to behave irrationally & violently, which people will
show up on TV?
We can't change the incentives in TV. Media will always
find
more traffic, & thus more ad revenue, when they focus the
camera on the crazy few.
Yet, TV
loves to have "social engagement" in the ticker at
the
bottom, showing how people "react" to the news, & thus, by
being on the TV, create the news in a mobius strip paradox.
So, the idea here, is that on all broadcasts, they have a tiny
portion on the left/bottom side, where our service
(Representative Checker, Inc) provides data as to how
representative the demonstrated POV is in fact.
Ex: When they are showing Westboro Baptist Church
members protesting at Robin Williams funeral saying he'll
go
to hell, the TV stations send an API with that data to our
servers, and we return, "only <1% of Christians believe
Robin
Williams will go to hell, and 80% believe WBC will go to
hell".
Ex #2: When they are showing looters in Furgeson, the API
call will remind them that, "95% of Furgeson residents who
protest, do so peacefully without looting."
Ex #3: When they show that a young man was killed by
police, the API will return, "95% of police never killed
anyone"
Ex #4: When Israeli's send seve........
