The Morning Rant

talking ape.jpg
"Back in the day, reporters (they didn't insist on being called 'journalists' back then) were told that the way to frame their stories was to answer a series of questions which boiled down to:

-who
-what
-when
-where
-why
-how

The emphasis was on actual facts and objectivity. But now, with 'advocacy journalism' having completely taken over the J-schools and pretty much every newsroom, the emphasis is on changing the world rather than reporting a story fairly and accurately. Especially now, when no less a paper than the New York Times announced before the election that Trump is so bad that objectivity should be thrown out. So the who, what, when, where, why, and how questions were changed into:

-who (can we quote to damage Trump)
-what (can we publish to damage Trump)
-when (should we run it maximize damage to Trump)
-where (do we get more material to damage Trump)
-why (Donald Trump's presidency is an existential threat to America and to the world)
-how (can we write our stories so as to cause maximum damage to Trump)

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the state of journalism, 2018."

'1984' Is NOT Supposed To Be a How-To Manual, Part CXXVII:





Revisionism

Remember when progs, heavily invested as they are in the "Islam is a religion of peace" mantra, used to scoff when it was pointed out that some Muslims celebrated 9/11 by shooting off fireworks from the tops of buildings? That's just a stupid right-wing fantasy, they snorted. Nobody every did that, they said. And they believe that to this day.

Ahem:
