Foghorn of Ignorance highlights the Inflammatory language used in the media or “gutter press.” More especially the so-called “red tops”. The often sensational, biased, or emotionally charged language used in these publications can be problematic, generally displaying a lack of objectivity by presenting information in a way that appeals to emotions rather than providing a balanced view of the facts, fuelling anger, fear, and division in society. It may perpetuate stereotypes, stigmatize certain groups, and hinder productive, rational discourse. Inflammatory language can be a tool for manipulating public sentiment and advancing a particular agenda. This can be particularly dangerous when it influences public policy or promotes misinformation.”
