Media

Now that things are starting to settle, and we can see things a little more clearer, I am posting this. Please excuse my bad Photoshop abilities.

For those who don’t know, Dan Andrews is a Labor/Democrat type state leader. He has been an amazing leader throughout Victoria’s COVID. They are currently about to go through another election. I can’t help but note, but despite the media being mainly right winged owned. At least the right wing leading, more and more people are voting for left wing politics.

Its one of the positives of social media, people cannot hide as they once did. Even though they complain about having no “Free Speech”, we can see their speech, we can see very freely what they’re saying. We can see when they lie, we can see their hypocrisy. The funny thing is so though, they think we can’t see it.

  1. Mainstream journalism has basically become a profession motivated more by a buck and a byline — i.e. a regular company paycheck and a frequently published name with stories — than a genuine strive to challenge the powers-that-be in order to truly comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable in an increasingly unjust global existence.

    Perhaps such journalism has become so systematic thus normalized — i.e. the ethical (and sometimes even the moral) standard has been further lowered — that those who are aware of it, notably politicians and political writers, don’t bother publicly discussing it.

    Maybe there’s an informal/unspoken agreement amongst the largest mainstream news-media: ‘Don’t dump on me, and I won’t dump on you.’

    Meantime, there still are reporters and editors who will (as though with big innocent fawn-like eyes) reply to such critiques as this with, ‘Who, me? I’m just the messenger.’ Whatever the news media may be, they are not ‘just the messenger’; nor are they but a reflection of the community — or their consumership, for that matter — in which they circulate.

    And for those who haven’t already noticed, newspaper and other current-affairs websites are increasingly converting to (what I call) pay-to-say formats, where the reader must buy a subscription in order to be permitted to comment on the articles.
