journalists always have been and always will be faggots, the few exceptions wont save the nature of the job

There are still real journalists, just most of what you are exposed to amount to little more than propaganda. Journalists don't start from a pre-conceived position.

Also there is no such thing as "game journalism". They are gaming and entertainment marketers.

Calling someone a games journalist is like calling a window washer an engineer because they work on a high rise. They are not breaking any hidden stories or truths, they are taking a cut from purposefully influencing you to consume media from which they receive kickbacks from.

I'll be sure to listen to the good "journalist" next time a telemarketer "journalist" from India tries to sell me a new phone plan/internet plan/utility plan.

Real journalist is a paid mouthpiece, what you refer to as real journalists are the outsiders who do job you want them to do, but the nature of the job, why it exists in the first place is to be a propaganda machine. Thats how its been and will be forever. So again, the few exceptions wont save the profession. People think journalism got bad all of a sudden or even in the last hundred years and before it was all independent paragons of integrity uncovering the evils of the world for the masses. No, journalism always was the medium of the powerful to spread the message that needed to be relayed and normalized among the people at the time.

bs, take a look at 60 minutes, they are still breaking real stories with independent fact-checking and aren't taking any position when presenting the facts, they leave that for the audience. Just because the clear and vast majority of contemporary flash "journalism" has become so bastardized and corrupt, it doesn't mean it has always been that way, or that there aren't any honest outlets left.

Thats how its been and will be forever.

If 100% of all media is fake then go off the grid and don't ever turn on the TV, radio, or internet. You need to use some common sense and be more discerning then people did 100, 50 or even 10 years ago were. If you don't know how to seperate the wheat from the chaff so to speak, the yoiu have no curiosity and have a broken cutlure of learning.

Granted fake news is everywhere and almost all of these pozzed faggots have an agenda, but do yourself a favour and apply a critical thinking mindset, others won't do it for you or you will just get led astray by everyone.

No, journalism always was the medium of the powerful to spread the message that needed to be relayed and normalized among the people at the time.

So 60 minutes breaking the story about CCP bribing tribal leaders in the South Pacific is incredulous? All fake, no investigation cited or sources from ASIO, they are just trying to brain wash the people to buy more X product?

A presenter over at a network is not a journalist. A weather girl (sometimes permitting a meterologist) is not a journalist. A blogger or social media personality is not a journlist. A member of parliament is not a journalist. A sports commentator, an entertainemnt media marketer is not a journalist, but they all call each other one lately.

Maybe I'll call myself a doctor, start handing out "medical" advice opinion then you can paint all doctors with a broad stroke calling them quaks and treat your own ailments with chicken bones and voodoo?
