JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.
Hard to be jhournalism for digital or deeeper things...
@Strandjunker YEAH I HEAR YOU... BUT...
We cannot see or confirm a lot of deep or digital things more than your rain example.
🔒 It is locked away / a lock out / secret so even when we think we know we're left guessing or until they say it, it's not true.
And even then, they could be false marketing... so my point is rain is easy but the rest isn't as journalism (which is what you mentioned).
People do try but increasingly you have to get arrested to know as secrets since most info is highly kept close to their chest so people have to feed on whatever State/Sub-hierachy / Company give them.
And because the link everybody has to money and family in fife
or
- if you employers or state says:
'say this, is the way now and you have to say XYZ' then literally you can end up saying 'It's not raining or classified as rain' if your state or employer tells you too.
#Paid shills / #Sellout and many other terms to reflect the hold money has and connected "I have to put food on the table for my family:" regardless...
