but at least Starbucks do hire a lot of new staff to clean out the drug dens that they call toilets
anyone can be a journalist
I could velcro-strap a camera to a dog and call it a journalist
Problem is that the modern definition of what Journalism is. It's no longer doing your own stories and research. Going to locations and interviewing, it's simply writing an *opinionated* article with stuff you found online. And most of the "journalists" on the internet media platforms like Buzzfeed and what Vice has become, is that they're not Journalists they're activists
yeah, journalism has been conflated with political punditry
they did make the bed by there own will. now they get to reap the rewards from it
I think commentators are going to become more and more important as time goes on. They will have to read articles from a wide range of sources to determine what is true and what is false, then present it to us.
The trouble on our end however will be finding commentators who make it a habit of always checking every source instead of just sources on their whitelist of goodthink.
@Nordhand someone will ride in to their rescue - the laid off coal miners don't complain online and no one cares about them to begin with. The journalists complain online 24/7 and gain sympathy from many rich leftists
The far leftist democrats will give them positions in the new socialist states of america.
right, I could see that happening - them being offered government jobs revolving-door style
*anita sarkeesian is our new minister of propaganda! Congratulations mrs sarkeesian.*
I don't mind punditry, as long as they're not calling themselves journalists

Styx is a pundit
that's the entire conflict with CNN
you pretty much said it right there - pundits masquerading as journalists
@nutsnax the media collapse now is from that they have now run out of rich uncles that is willing to burn cash on them
I don't think they run out of money, I think they ultimately have Fed backing
that did run out as well as the Obama program did run out 30 December 2018 and I dont see trump renewing it anytime soon
Regulatory capture via the FCC

Wonder if that oil facility being blown up had anything to do with that?
