    Yes... betting sites are another medium ... by which to extrapolate information.

    It's all good, we're all just hypocritical libs here. Welcome to the club.

        I mean if you have a 12 year-olds understanding of "media" as simply "current events".

        Read a little McLuhan or Baudrillard and get back to me.

            How were you informed to take a tenner on Trump? Did you magically infer that bet in a vacuum or was it materialized through your romps through the cultural zeitgeist?

                Sounds like you analyzed media and took a gamble. If the odds were 2:1, 50:1, or 12000:1, you would have made assumptions to inform your betting decision.

                How is this rocket science?

                  as comrade Cuttlefish pointed out:

                  Comrade, media analysis is like, discussing how Star Wars views revolution or something like that. It’s studying and interpreting media.

                    It’s studying and interpreting media.

                    Yes, and making informed betting decisions and posting about it to share. Lemmy is a social "media" platform.
