Our thoughts about the media were dire but are deteriorating. 'Journalists' get a bad name in general but today's churnalism is getting worse. 24-hour news and hundreds of TV channels mean bullshit is recycled and repeated ad nauseam and the 'talent pool' is spread so thin that brain-dead fuckwits can become 'slebs'.
The MSM's clear agenda-driven objectives of causing polemic, raising their own profile and getting sound-bites to report rather than the actual news is reaching record levels. The images below are surveys from (top) Kekst CNC [part of the Publicis Groupe, the world's third largest communications group] and (bottom) the 2019 Ipsos MORI veracity Index, Trust in Professions Survey.
The media are lucky that in the past there have been other professions slightly less liked than them but - as we see from the Kekst CNC info - that is changing: both local and national government (admittedly not "politiicans" per se) are on positive numbers; especially in times of national calamity what we don't need is shit slingers broadcasting to every home, every minute of every day.
