BTW, it's not PukDog, it's Pukin Dog. Since I'm (STILL) a charter member of The Pukin Dog Fan Club even though he's no longer around, I am impelled to give proper credit where it's due by providing a link to the original thread:
OPEN LETTER TO THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA: We are NOT Amateurs and we are going to kick your butts.
It was just posted there today so I figured it was a new one, and only did a recent search. Well worth a repost though, he hit it right on the head with this one.
You have a good memory, arasina.
This was the post that convinced me I should be writing here.
That statement alone was proof that the war had already been won; you'll never see writing and thoughts like that in the mainstream media. That is the stuff they edit out and suppress -- in favor of crap!
The problem with the broadcast meida is that they want the largest audience rather than the best audience. By and large, for them, that is the old entrenched audience of newsies or news junkies -- people addicted to the sensationalistic and bad news, the rants of demagogues.
The manifesto of Pukin Dog is not a rant; rants are those delusions of having an audience -- instead of talking to people about everything they've thought but never heard anybody say before, or say as comprehensively. And that's why there is "no contest" between the media of old and today's state of the art. It's already a fact but the perception is slowly coming around to the realization of the new realities.
And that reality is, your local newspaper doesn't have the talent to compete in the market open to everyone. They can only compete when they control the game, and pronounce themselves as the winners and the best and the brightest because they suppress all those who really have talent, ability and merit. That's why it is so depressing now to look at your local media (newspapers and television) because all one sees are losers pretending to be winners.
There is no more pathetic sight in the world.
Thanks for the link.
