The backlash against fake news in the exercise of power politics has come. Finally!

Ah, finally hope for humanity.
Journalism has become the most depraved, least intellectual, and totally immoral profession (remember, prostitution is a profession also) in the multiverse.

Yes, there are good ones out there. To few, however.

Remember those students in college who were too dumb to even get an education degree?

Journalists now.

Oops, I had a journalist moment. That’s “too few” not “to few”.

Nah - most of them are fox news reporters.

Victimhood status for Journolists.

Maybe the journalists should stop asking stupid questions.

It’s no wonder the public has such a low opinion of reporters given what biased leftist liars they’ve been for so long.

The group says many democratically elected leaders "no longer see the media as part of democracy's essential underpinning,

Don't blame journalists for becoming rank advocates. Nah, we wouldn't want that examined.

People sense that reporters are Soviet style, politically correct propagandists rather than truth seekers. For instance. After that Toronto van massacre, most people wanted to know if the lunatic was a Muslim. Virtually every story written refused to report that information because it was not consistent with the big lie.

They say that like it’s a bad thing. Or like it isn’t warranted.

Why not a headline, “Hatred of Nazis on the rise worldwide...?”

Yeah, we should have this sort of concern for ones like Banfield or Costello or Maddow or Tapper or any of those other limousine socialists who likely make more money in one day than many in the United States or Canada do in one month and lecture to us about their worldview.

If reporters would report and not editorialize, whine and subvert, they probably wouldn’t be hated. But, they don’t just report. They report incorrectly, err, lie!

I wonder what the ratio is between the objective seekers and purveyors of information, and those monsters who enter into the world of journalism for the sake of dispensing their personal brand of social and political influence.

It is the latter, however minority they may be among that community, who strongly taint the name and reputation of reporters and journalists everywhere.

I call them monsters, even though they would never ever look at themselves that way. They believe their efforts to stir pots and see what chaos rises to the top is a noble one. They believe that they are not exploiting people are making them targets of their social biases, they think they are merely exposing them.

I don’t buy into the BS explanation that clicks and impressions are the name of the game in this day and age. Of course they are important, but they are not the issue. Exploiting bad news, tragedy, and sensational events is older than fake news. What we have today is an industry that attracts social activists like moths to the lamp.... or is that flies to...?

They are trying to play the “bravery” card for “standing up to Trump on behalf of the American people”. They see themselves as 21st century equivalent of the 101st Airborne besieged at Bastogne.
