Once again...I have a degree in journalism. Broadcast journalism, but I've written for a few newspapers and magazines as well. I worked for a National Public Radio affiliate in college and was a stringer for the the Associated Press. This was all back when journalism still meant something.
If these partisan hacks were a journalists, he'd be investigating these sham elections to the fullest. If half these over paid scribblers were 'journalists' they'd be asking how feeding your ballot into a machine with 'proprietary' software (that you can't examine) and then having laws in place that prohibit you the citizen from seeing actual vote tallies produced by the at software is any way a fair election. But as we saw with our mad queen during the shamdemic, they NEVER ask hard questions that skate close to actual journalism. They are bought and paid for scribblers, licking the boots of their overlords. Not just nationally, but right here in Lincoln and Omaha. The level of shilling for those in power by the Lincoln Journal Star, Channels 8 and 10 and the Omaha media was/is nauseating.
No matter how much you hate the garbage mainstream media, it's not enough.
Perhaps one of the worst falsehoods prevalent in our society is the one to which far too many folks still subscribe: That the media are presenting unbiased facts from both sides of a given issues and allowing you the reader/listener to decide what to believe. No. These elitist turds are skewing stories the direction they want them to be perceived because they honestly believe that you're a) too stupid to discern for yourself and b) you require their pedantic condescension to 'understand what's going on.'
There is a trite little tautology used in the journalism world to warn those in power that, 'You shouldn't argue with people who buy ink by the barrel full.' To which I would clap back, 'And yet truth and objectivity remain beyond your means.'
Oh yea!- I had fun with that and my Trump hat at the Post 1 AL KERIOKE LAST SAT NIGHT. DID A JACKIE GLEASON STRUT, WAIVING MY HAT, ACROSS THE VACANT DANCE FLOOR. GOT SOME APPLAUSE EVEN!
