Anyone can be a journalist. And with the degradation of university education and rise of propagandism, the profession is under threat. Here's an example:
If you can't write anything interesting or intelligent it's perhaps better to write nothing at all. However that's not how modern media prostitutes (journalists) see it. Instead, they seem unembarrassed to pick some aspect of an issue and then attribute - in true 'Newspeak' style - 'good thing' or 'bad thing' to it. This seems to be the limit of their creativity.
One more reason to starve these awful media institutions of revenue and attention...
Journalists often come up with a narrative and then selectively find the facts to support that narrative. With the dispersion of knowledge on the internet and elsewhere, this approach becomes increasingly more difficult to sell, which is a very good thing.
I was surprised when I first saw the title of your post but reading through I was able to relate with it. Some journalists just come up with fallacies of all sorts all in the name of selling their article, but most people now are well informed and don't buy into such idea
Yes. The people of the world are beginning to take responsibility for their own opinions! And that IS a good thing.
