Why does the media love sucking its own cock so much?

they've taken a beating after this election, they are scrapping for whatever they can to save face

sage the fake news media

The media has always loved sucking its own cock. The truth is, everyone loves sucking they're own cock, but we don't see it as much as the media does it because the media are the ones delivering all the messages. Regardless, the media's days are numbered and they know it but they don't know what to do. These are the last gasps. The death throes. Why do you think they were so up in arms about Donald using Twitter? Deep down, they know he doesn't have to go through them to deliver the message anymore. No one does. Joe Schmo in Omaha, Nebraska can pick up his camera, sign up for Twitter, make a Facebook page, pay $8/year for schmoblog.com, and start driving around Omaha and report news stories. What can they do? Say he's not a journalist? No. What are they gonna do? Say his story didn't happen? No. Because Joe Schmo recorded it on the ultra HD camera on his cell phone he can literally carry in his pocket. Now, the question is can Joe Schmo make a living solely reporting on stories in Omaha? Maybe, maybe not. It doesn't matter. Because Joe Schmo is not on the payroll. Joe Schmo is not under their copyright umbrella. Joe Schmo doesn't owe anyone shit. They're fucked and they know it. Absolutely fucked. Fucked. Sure, they'll still make money in some ways, the same way a 4 star restaurant can charge higher prices for a better meal than the mom and pop shop down the street. But gone are the days where newspapers and media, etc., are the titans of industry. Gone are the days where the publishers of The New York Times are equivalent to royalty. Gone. Gone. Gone. Funny thing is they're taking their anger and frustration out on the average, everyday person, when the only people they should be upset with are in Silicon Valley and in the mirror. Again, it's a natural human response to blame someone other than yourself, but it doesn't make it any less fascinating to watch. Particularly when it's happening to the very people delivering the message and in our face 24/7.

that was poetic, user. Screencaped

i enjoyed this. though few people will actually take time to read such walls of text

The only people who voted for Trump are rural and suburban retards.

City people all voted for Hillary.

because autofellatio is awesom

Ha, please don't. There are spelling and grammar errors and I was mostly just typing thoughts out fast.

It's a fascinating topic and something I've been thinking about and interested in for a long time. Long before this election cycle. What it comes down to is, basically, they're scared. This same thing happened to the people in Detroit when the auto industry collapsed but we didn't see it because it was happening to no name people in a factories in Detroit. This same thing happened to the people in West Virginia when the coal industry collapsed but we didn't see it because it was happening to no name people in coal mines in West Virginia. This same thing happened to millions of farmers across the country. Granted, those processes, particularly the farm industry, took far longer to happen. It was a much slower burn. Truth is, all industries go through this process, eventually, and another takes its place. It's the circle of industry life. And it just hasn't happened in the media industry until now. See, you're watching people's livelihood and an industry die (at least, the death of its current form) and it's being live streamed 24/7 and broadcast to the world. It's fucking fascinating. Fascinating because A.) they're so in the public eye and B.) it's happening so quick. Something will rise in its place, we're just unsure of what exact form it will take. We're in a giant transitional period right now. A massive, global "shift." That's why I want to smack people when they say we're not living in interesting times.

She looks like she has emotional issues

Probably Russian

Truth is, I'm just clicking pictures in my girls in tight dresses folder to keep the thread alive to maybe, just maybe, have an interesting discussion on the death of the media. Hopefully, my tactic works. I'm not optimistic, though.

Nobody pointed out $6 million yet?

I just find it hilarious that the media is currently at it's lowest point in trustworthiness. They've alienated so many people and their only solution is to further alienate them.

It's so entertaining to watch them squirm.

Washington Post is CIA funded. Google "Bezos CIA." It is all propaganda.

Obama changed the law to subvert Americans with propaganda around the same time. Notice how everything went really mental really fast in the last few years?

Post more idyllic women. I like your words too, but really i just want to be reminded that real women still exist

He also just snuck through authorization for funding of a de facto Ministry of Truth. Right in the back of the NDAA funding the military for 2017, signed Friday afternoon before Christmas.

Now all the pieces are in place for the government to *legally* crack down on whatever it deems "fake news"

Bump.

>Washington Post is CIA funded. Google "Bezos CIA." It is all propaganda.
It's far, far worse than that, Australia. The CIA has been infiltrating media organizations, recruiting journalists, and secretly funding special reports since their founding. You can start with Operation Mockingbird to give you an early picture before you begin to get proper mindfucked. There are some private estimates I've seen and conversations of numbers and percentages that would blow your fucking mind.

Don't get me wrong, other countries are doing this, too. This isn't just some evil America thing. This is worldwide. Worldwide. This is also a big reason why I find new media and the internet a fascinating subject. It's drawing the curtain back on the Wizards. Exposing them for what they truly are.

Sure thing, friend. I have a fairly large folder of these types as well.

>This is also a big reason why I find new media and the internet a fascinating subject. It's drawing the curtain back on the Wizards. Exposing them for what they truly are.
Pretty much. I think that was a big factor in terms of the media experiencing Murphy's Law this election cycle.
Everything they tried to throw at Trump backfired because people can fact check the (((fact checkers))).
Prior to the internet, that wasn't possible, or at least not as easily.

...souce?

Oy vey remember the $6 million

Kagai Choukyou [Lesson] _ Extracurricular Torture [Lesson]

They were the losers from high school who couldn't get laid.

Maybe the Media should do a story on how every charity Trump mentioned they demonized and harassed the employees so Trump had to start his own charity to save people from being destroyed by liberals.

journalists are screwed either way, pre filtered upvoted content that is trending and costs nothing will always make money than one story you spend a week one. Even if it is popular nobody will go to the source and view your ads to read it, the summary on every other MSM and oniline blog is enough. If there is space to fill inbetween trending twitter then PR packs give you a free story, photos and blurb.

think of the idiots who did media studys in school, then take the select group of idiots that actually think it's a good idea to do that subject at degree level, throw in left leaning lecturers and you've got the creation of the cock suckers

>Everything they tried to throw at Trump backfired because people can fact check the (((fact checkers))).

Correct. I would argue that the internet is likely the most profound invention in the history of the world. At its very least, on par with the printing press. What makes it even more fascinating is we're still in its infancy. It's going to take some time for us to realize its true potential. Essentially, I believe we're in the beginnings of a new age. We're witnessing the foundations of a new Renaissance. A new Renaissance which, like its predecessor, will directly lead to a new Enlightenment. But that can become an extremely long conversation. Too long for this format and too far off the original topic.

"History never repeats itself, but it rhymes." - Mark Twain (actually just commonly attributed to him, but no one is sure if he was the first to say it).

I grew up with a football playing farm kid. He wss voted most likely to succeed. He went to college for journalism. Lost track of him for 10 years. Started a facebook started buddying my old friends. Turned out he now worked as a professors bitch in journalism at a university.

His facebook posts were exaclty what Rush Limbaugh had been telling everyone journalists and professors were forced to be. 50% of me believes he was hypnotozed by someone at college into being an unhinged leftist. 50% of me believed the most likely to succeed realized he needed to be an unhinged liberal to maintain his career.

This is a fair point too.
At best, most journalists know a little bit about everything, but the flip side of that is that they only have a shallow understanding of the topics they're reporting on.
This is why any time you see journalists reporting on anything related to guns they have no idea what the fuck they're talking about.

Forgot to point out this, it doesn't help that this crap is taught in conjunction with (((marxist indoctrination camp))), as well as the echo chamber effect of all of these fucks being in the same social circles.
The funny thing is, newswriting 101 is basically boot-camp for dry writing, teaching people how to write without using tons of purple prose, so if they stuck to teaching the how it probably wouldn't be this bad.
The problem with this is the nature of the subject is inseparable from politics.

thanks senpai

Yw user.
You need to work on your google-fu though.
I found and read the whole thing while you were waiting for sauce.

i've seen this as well. honestly it's shocking anyone still manages see through the bullshit and vote republican since the dems control the schools and journalism.

Isn't it interesting how much propaganda we get about how COURAGEOUS the """media""" is? Like the whole field of journalism isn't just another career like anything else, but a TIRELESS CRUSADE FOR THE TRUTH.

Same with scientists (and I say this as a researcher). There's all this talk about the selfless quest for knowledge, which is complete bullshit (it's mostly about puffing yourself up with incremental meaningless publications to get tenure). Recently I saw a kid's book about a bunch of women scientists who were "fearless pioneers who changed the world".

In our modern liberal era, apparently academia and media have anointed themselves as paragons of virtue and priests.

To be honest, the biggest thing I learned while studying this stuff was how to read between the lines, which is actually a very useful skill for dissecting the BS the MSM spews.
I also realized I'd rather hang myself than go into the Media for a living, and have been doing shit jobs instead since.

It's rudimentary psychology used to manipulate the average person. They do it with all the media, from things like news to loaded reviews or advertisements.

Basically speaking its like 3-4 guys want to rip off 10 people, so what they do is start gossiping among each other. People around suddenly want to be in on it, due to peer pressure/social psychology. Those extra people end up having to pay to be in on the joke or the story, whether its important or not. Social inclusion is just a really strong if not subtle instinct.


Try it yourself sometime with an in-joke at work or with the family. Get a friend or two in on it, try to rustle up a sucker, and charge them something minor like a 1$. See if you can do it yourself.

Kek'd. Definitely some truth to this, and in the days of people like Edward R. Murrow, it might have even been the actual case.
Not anymore though.
The best part? Most "journalists" don't actually leave the office to get their stories anymore.
They have what's known as a practice of "Lift (from the NYT, WSJ, WaPo, AP, Reuters) and View (from CNN et al.)."
If you tried that shit in school you'd be expelled for plagiarism.

Silly user.
Any "news" source that ends in "post" is garbage.

Wash post
NY Post
Huffington Post
etc

I get my news from NHK and BBC.

They're tricky about how they try to link things psychologically too.
I was watching ABC the other night with the suspicious package at Trump Tower incident, and they segued into the mall fights, trying to (less than) subtly suggest it was somehow related to Trump.
