I started to listen to that interview and turned it off when I heard her name. She bears some responsibility.
It won’t “recover.”
It will be replaced.
She is absolutely right. Journalists should be laughed at — although this is really no laughing matter. Journalism has become a destructive force, using rampant dishonesty to propagandize for an anti-American political party.
Camille is the only (reasonably) sane Lefty on the planet. Always fun.
And they are destroying the DEM party too...
Well, “journalism” has become both grotesque and obscene, but it could recover over night; all it would have to do is opt for truth rather than propaganda. Presto! Recovery!
With position of authority to speak from, I dont think I need to read any more.
That's it in a nutshell.................
There’s nothing wrong with journalism. Just as the invention of the printing press put information into the hands of anyone who can read, the invention of the internet, coupled with effective search engines, put useful information into the hands of anyone with a computer, a connection, and the brains to use it.
i.e. journalism is in finally in the hands of the people, where it belongs.
If the global warming hoax had been started today, it would have been stillborn.
It will never recover. Hannity said it had died. I agree with him.
There is actually very little journalism. It’s really just dem activists pushing their agenda and calling themselves the media. It’s fraud.
Journalism has become propaganda. The Left couldn’t resist the temptation to use it as a tool to advance their socialist agenda and destroy all things conservative. In the process, they have destroyed what was once known as the venerable Fourth Estate.
She’s a leftist who is honest on the subject of what the media is and how the media works. I wonder how she came to be like that.
‘destroying journalism’
The only way to ever really restore journalism will be to fully and completely destroy the pushers of fake news — broadcast and print/internet/web — by discrediting them, their sources, their publications.
The pushers of fake news need to be reclassified as entertainment or something similar and any pretext of them being journalists needs to be removed — press passes, etc.
The recently reseating of CNN at a White House event was a tiny start. It signaled that CNN should no longer be considered a reliable news agency. The WH just didn’t go far enough. The WH should pull their ‘press credentials’ and kick them out of the WH.
Purveyors of fake news should be mandated to put warning labels at the top of their wares (articles/reports/videos, etc.). Sixty years ago, tv ‘news’ sources were required to label ‘commentary’ as such and separate from real ‘news’.
The destruction of journalism may have started in the 1970s, with “Operation Mockingbird”!!!!! And remember the Goebbels-like lies against the Serbs “way back” in 1999!!!
This destruction has accelerated in recent years, with the vast majority of journalistic output being fake news!!!!
Journos are our enemies!!!!! We need to search far and wide over the Internet—even to so-called “conspiracy” sites like InfoWars—to find even a bit of real news!!!! Then there is RT—really!!!!
It will never recover. It’s credibility has been destroyed, and now it’s financial base is crumbling.
Interesting that she and Michael Goodwin (in Imprimis) said much the same thing.
IIRC there was a thread to that fine publication of Hillsdale College (https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/2016-election-demise-journalistic-standards/).
Who, what, when, where and how; that’s what I want, and ALL I want from any journalistic source. If they feel they have to add the ‘why’ then do it on the darned editorial page, I can figure that out for myself just fine.
We should stop calling them “journalists”. NBC is finding out that calling yourself a journalist doesn’t make you one. Ref: Megyn Kelly.
Journalism has always been biased.
The difference is that in the past there were at least two (or more) newspapers in every town of any size. They did not hide their bias, look at old newspapers and you will see names that include REPUBLICAN or DEMOCRAT on the mast head.
As someone else posted, they will never recover.
They are in someways similar to the Pony Express. Technology will make newspapers obsolete.
There is still a need for “news gatherers” but here is the great secret, anyone can create content.
When I hear of a big story I turn to two places - YouTube and FreeRepublic.
Often YouTube has raw images before many news outlet (and when the major outlets do catch on, they are using the same YouTube videos I had been watching).
FreeRepublic provides more information on stories PLUS has thousands of “experts” available to provide information the media leaves out or explains it better.
Newspaper, who needs them.
