I’m not disagreeing with that at all.
My point here is that the millennials in media are wielding incredible influence that is warping what’s true and actually assassinating the characters of those like the POTUS—whoever doesnt fit into their trendy progressive mindset, stupidly even knee-jerk alignment with whoever their glossy celebrity faves support.
Its all about building their own edgy ‘brands’.
In the meantime, they are fostering an atmosphere where people are being shunned for their political and religious beliefs. We’re all talking in whispered tones like we’re living in the former Soviet Union. Worst of all, ridiculing us for who we are, how we live and what we believe has become a very trendy, open thing to do. Like a cool gossipy blood sport to cackle over. Destroying through ridicule is the name of the game.
This group are the kings and queen of clever repartee—and edgy sarcasm. It gets old.
No whispering in low voices for them.
A couple of thoughts about what passes for journalism these days.
Someone years and years ago told me that journalism was a craft, not a profession.
Someone the other day told me that there’s not enough real news in a 24 hour cycle and so the same stories keep getting repeated over and over as filler.
Combine those two things and you have craft people masquerading in their own minds as professionals, not getting their fingernails dirty as honest craftsmen would, repeating ad nauseum the same tired things to a captive audience, never asking any real or risky questions.
Add to that the saturation of “always on” electronic media and you don’t have to wait for the thud of tomorrow’s print newspaper hitting your doorstep or some talking head to pop up on your TV at 6:00 p.m.
