Nothing is truer
And people who believe politicians will always be disappointed
Truth bombs
Number 1-4 ok.
But number 5 could not be farther from the truth. Who when not journalist a searching for the things governments do wrong and report on it?
Media ≠Journalists
There are very few Journalists left mostly persecuted by the media.
But media is what pays the work of a journalist today. And at least in Europe I feel there is still a more or less healthy independent part of the press tha has the power to control the governments.
I understand your delusion, I hope you do one day.
Thanks. What other people and organisation pay the dailymlife of journalist?
That alone is a Euro view of the world.
The need for a benefactor.
A real journalist would do it at the expense of them selves without benefactor, even to great detriment. Just because it’s the right thing to do.
Intresting worldview. You are very rich? Or how can one work without salary?
As a matter of fact who would trust a journalist that was obviously paid for.
You also would never trust a supermarket where you need to pay for the products? Or a phone which you needed to pay?
If the information comes for free, it can hardly be journalistic work. Some businessmodel is needed in order to deliver work.
The problem is not *that* they get paid but by whom. Ignoring the motivation of the ones paying for the information is more dangerous than compete ignorance of what they profess.
Is the one paying the benefactor or beneficiary of the information they provide?
And yes, I do trust a supermarket less than a market created by individual producers. Unfortunately most demand convenience over everything else so supermarkets exist.
Real Journalists exist and do their job regardless of compensation because they have integrity to *the* truth not *their* truth, or the truth of their benefactors.
Again
Media ≠Journalism
Media is closer to entertainment than Journalism conflating the two is the flaw.
that’s why we are here, and knowing is half the battle
