    Seems like a candidate to be put out there are a real hero.

    "Detectives with the sheriff's Major Crimes Unit were tracking a man who was wanted for kidnapping, spousal assault and assault with a deadly weapon but when they tried to stop his car, he opened the door and began shooting, authorities said."

    Your modern day Alamo is what I'm hearing.

    It's simple economics. It's easier and less expensive for news agencies to create news than it is to investigate it and find it. It's disgusting, but a very smart and effective business model. They no longer need to pay higher salaried investigative journalists. Now they can create fear and headlines themselves and send in less expensive, low level employees to cover it.

    My favorite example is when a “news” service conducts a poll to create news and then reports on the “news” they themselves created. It’s so lazy and so easily to manipulate.

    It's the way of life today. It's not just news. It's network television, movies, music, etc. Just reproductions of the same stuff

    Well sure. Twitter ruined journalism. Now many if not most just either retweet from a bigger name or just plaguirize.shit.fucko.

    Often while just reading the headline. And then it is presented to the masses on da teevee. And 75% of the viewers take it as the Gospel. Moar and moar, even made Cooperstown poasters here allow it to creep into their thoughts.

    Sad AF.

    The media has always been evil like this

    You think the shit printed in papers was accurate? It was even harder to verify back in the day too

    Maybe so. Real journalism sans some on the local level degraded incrementally since the 70’s. But has absolutely nosedived since Twitter.

    With that said there are many lesser known news sources that are quality that wouldn’t be known if not for Twitter. But the tradeoff isn’t close to being worth it imo.

    Over the last 4 decades, the mainstream media in the United States has been consolidated
    from dozens of companies to only 6.

    Pretty convinced this is what multiple foreign actors who finance our media are interested in. Nobody has been talking about China and their complicity in a world pandemic for a month.

    This.

    Yes

    A civil war generates news.

    Yes

    A civil war generates news.

    I like to picnic on a bluff above the battles. It’s something I like to do. I like to do that.
    Hopefully it won't be over already

    People forget that from 1895 to 1930 Hearst controlled one of the worlds largest media/information companies in the world, was the progenitor for the term "Yellow Journalism" (Fake news), leveraged his newspapers and film companies into political power for both himself and his friends, and successfully pushed the US into the Spanish-American war...

    "Please remain. You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war." - Hearst December 1897

    3 weeks later the USS Maine exploded, likely due to an accidental fire started in the ammunition or coal stock. Hearst's papers falsely ran with the story that Spain intentionally attacked the ship. "Remember the Main, To hell with Spain." The US declared war against Spain shortly after.

    The media is complicit in the coup which will lead to civil war. They might not like how that turns out!

    Reminds me how how Bush’s FBI targeted an innocent man in the anthrax letters with help from the media, and Clinton’s FBI targeted Richard Jewell for the Olympic bombing with help from the media. That’s was long before this widespread sharing of information online, too.
