The economics of wire service journalism unifies and homogenizes journalism.

The interests which news wire journalism is united around are, quite simply, their own interests. Those interests boil down to the same thing as everyone else - everyone believes in, and promotes in whatever way comes to hand, his own significance and importance.

The behavior documented in this article is as predictable as water running downhill rather than up, once you understand that journalism functionally is a single entity. They beat up on people who do not kowtow to their own interest. Because they can.

Journalism claims to be objective, because they can. And nobody points out that to claim to be objective is actually to dramatize your own subjectivity.

Okay this maybe a stupid question, but where are the documents and proof. I have always know this to be the case and tell all of my friends that the media operates in this manner but I can only see an article saying that documents state this.
