PP: The mainstream media has finally surprised me. Not with improved reporting and finally providing context or being truthful. But with its inability to self-correct even when its own jobs and survival are on the line.
I always thought self-preservation was the highest instinct, but apparently that’s not true for those in the media.
These past few weeks have seen waves of layoffs in the print and online news industries, indicating weak financial results.
It turns out, to almost nobody’s surprise, that people aren’t interested in paying for journalists to lie to, berate and gaslight them.
I’m thrilled, of course, not only because that opens up a lot more territory for myself as an information scout and truthteller, but also because this means the media won’t be self-correcting any time soon.
