    Nothing can help promote the idea that the campers are real people if the media doesn’t want to show it. Showing sloven bums making a mess of everything around them because they don’t want to get a real job is great for ratings. Don’t matter if it doesn’t represent reality.

      It definitely represents reality in a lot of cases.

      I’ve been homeless before and never had a trash cloud. Those with trash clouds are still homeless. It’s not a random occurrence.

        If half of the homeless/campers are trashy, the media will only show 5 seconds of footage of trash before going back the a bunch of news anchors repeating empty wisdom. They wont show the clean ones and they wont talk about what depression does. The coverage just exists to reassure their viewers have it good.
