Journalistic Bias and Citizen Journalism

In the context of reporting the facts all journalists should maintain their impartiality, however, that is where it ends, partiality or bias in journalistic analysis and commentary is not distortion, as the public has the facts and is able to arrive at their own conclusions.

The disappointing aspect of citizen journalism is that most writers and commentators attempt to emulate the style of the propagandist, dis-informative mainstream media, which, as everyone knows, is held in the 'highest esteem' by the public – lol!

Break the fuckin’ ‘rules’ if you would be believed and read, let’s see some honest human passion, not the fake ‘clinical’ approach of the selective, distorted, tailored 'news,' which issues from the CFR directed mainstream. Report the truth/facts which the mainstream never does and then go 'hell for leather' with your analysis and commentary, readers will respond as they would to real conversations with real people and the clinical propagandists of the mass media will wonder why their viewer/readership has plummeted!

In the Orwellian world we live in today, where telling the truth and arriving at unpleasant but REAL and accurate conclusions is considered a subversive act and criminal in some totalitarian, police State nations (America) being labelled a ‘subversive’ or 'spy,' or some other fabricated tag, is in reality a badge of honour NOT bad journalism or criminal activity as the mainstream wish to portray it.

Need I remind budding citizen writers that everyone is biased, it’s an inescapable fact, human nature is what it is, so make it work for you, your readers and greater humanity will love you for it – are we clear on raw ‘boots and all’ reporting and commentary? Break the fuckin’ rules they are meaningless in a world of lies and mass media deception? And if you end up being persecuted and attacked by Big Brother’s mass media servants know that you have done a very good job.

In conclusion I would remind everyone that Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange continue to languish in confinement due to the unjust influence of the world’s most criminal nation, the US fuckin A! Never let the public rest easy with State crime and perhaps we would all be able to RESTORE our lost democracies.

Hit ‘em hard and hit ‘em often – allow integrity and human honesty to sweep the 'room' clean, and win the day in the end!
