“Rope. Tree. Journalist.”

A T-shirt worn by a Trump supporter vented the anger most people feel toward servile journalists these days -- AND not only in America. Never have we seen such overt distortion and partiality in the media.

Journalists were once the ‘guard dogs of democracy,’ however, today, they are CLEARLY the LAP DOGS of the corporate elite. So it’s little wonder we see T-shirts such as this at political rallies.

Never has the mass media been so concentrated in so few hands, and any journalist that dares question the editorial policy of the media moguls that own the media knows its goodbye salary and hello job anxiety -- traditional independent journalists are virtually blacklisted in this tiny elite group of media owners. Of course a huge proportion of disunity and lack of mutual support among journalists breeds fear and gutlessness, but let’s not forget character, the lack thereof, as the most critical ingredient to finally become a grovelling lackey, dancing to the tune of a self-interested mogul of the undemocratic elite.

I’ll leave you to read the rather comical article from Raw Story linked below and arrive at your own conclusion, however, giving the message a second thought, why not? The elite cannot function without its bought and owned lackeys and puppets -- scumbags the lot of ‘em!

Has it occurred to journos today that REAL attention-grabbing news and analysis cannot be produced by copy-pasting cadets following orders/prescriptions -- unify and walk out together to save your jobs and the profession. Standards have almost hit rock bottom, very soon a computer program will be able to churn out this low quality rubbish passing for ‘news.’
