The thing is, this won’t see the light of day in terms of where Dem voters get their “news”.
Walter Lipmann promulgated a myth. The emperor has clothes.
local media is a government allowed and directed corporate monopoly
Its not about news. Its state-run propaganda outlets.
In the late 90s I spent several months working at the School of Journalism at Columbia University in Manhattan. My work was not academic, but blue collar communications work. During this period I had the opportunity to speak with many different students. Whenever I asked why they had chosen journalism their answer was invariably, “I want to make a difference.”
If you watch the game show, “Jeopardy” when they have those sharp college kids on, the ones that are studying journalism, when asked “Why?” always answer the same.
It seems that the main goal of these future journalists is NOT to witness and write the first draft of history, rather they wish to INFLUENCE the consumers of their product to agree with whatever ideology they wish to promote.
Yup
Part of why i was on paper in college was many of my friends were in journalism and were going after spots on the paper to build up their experience before applying for real jobs later on...
Many later dropped out of their career fields entirely because their own liberal naivete was shattered when they spent a few years seeing what really went on in an actual newsroom.
By age 20 I was listening to Rush L. and already saw what was going on in the college paper newsroom, they were still idealists and wanted to make a difference, they all thought smearing conservatives/Republicans was how they would make that difference, and most were women and feminists and the media went severely gynocentric
They had rude awakenings. They’d write a straight article, then their editors would modify it and put their political twist on it. The ones with more independent thinking left, they didn’t want their names on the articles after the agenda changes the editors applied.
Glad to see that Project Veritas is still powering ahead
in spite of DOJ persecution.
Frauds, all of them.
The arrogance...
No, journalists are not the "last hope of liberty". That is the job of every American citizen. Citizenship in our free republic is a full time job. It is up to every citizen to defend their nation from tyranny and seek truth and justice.
