| It reminds me of how incredibly everyone handled the election fraud claims. The media's method was apparently to loudly and forcefully deny them as quickly as possible. So you had Giuliani come out and give his press conference laying out what they were allegedly going to prove. Immediate response is that they have no evidence. But they said explicitly that they were going to provide the evidence soon, once they'd finished preparing to present it. Then they come out to present all of this witness testimony and the response while it's happening is that they're repeating already debunked claims. Already debunked because they hadn't previously provided anything like witness testimony to support them. So now even if the claims are bunk, these media outlets have forcefully denied them at a point in time when they clearly couldn't have known that yet. Which destroyed their credibility to deny the claims later, once there had actually been enough time to evaluate them. Which increased the number of people believing the claims to a degree that tech companies started censoring them. So now you're here: > "they wouldn't censor us if it wasn't true!" Impossible for anyone to convincingly deny the claims at this point because you've created the impression among believers that the truth is being suppressed. Because that's what censorship does. Made a thousand times worse because it was right after notoriously censoring the NY Post over an article that turned out to be true, destroying their ability to claim that they were only censoring things that were false. Who else thinks this isn't going well? |
Surely, these journalists (pundits) must know what they are doing though. The question is why would an individual who sought to be a discoverer of truth allow themselves to end up in this situation.
Are they simply desperate to work in the news industry no matter what they have to do/say? Do they not realize that a large portion of the audience (from all political slants) is befuddled by their biased reporting?
True journalism appears relegated to freelancers sprinkled around the internet who unfortunately are not heard by the people that most need to hear them.
Yes, it isn’t going well.
