The Collapse of Journalism in America

[JimBowie1958]

Great article. Since when did it become an acceptable professional guideline to be a partisan hack for one party or against a candidate as badly as ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN and others have become for the Clinton campaign and against Trump?

Why should anyone trust any of these snooze organizations for reliable information about anything any more given their inability to remain objective at all?

http://nypost.com/2016/08/21/american-journalism-is-collapsing-before-our-eyes/

But something else happening before our eyes is almost as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it.

The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand-in-hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations.

The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America.

The largest broadcast networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — and major newspapers like The New York Times and Washington Post have jettisoned all pretense of fair play. Their fierce determination to keep Trump out of the Oval Office has no precedent.

Indeed, no foreign enemy, no terror group, no native criminal gang, suffers the daily beating that Trump does. The mad mullahs of Iran, who call America the Great Satan and vow to wipe Israel off the map, are treated gently by comparison.

By torching its remaining credibility in service of Clinton, the mainstream media’s reputations will likely never recover, nor will the standards. No future producer, editor, reporter or anchor can be expected to meet a test of fairness when that standard has been trashed in such willful and blatant fashion.

How's that different than the NY Post doing the same thing to Clinton?

Suppose it's not any different. The topic is the collapse of journalism and concommitant rejection of all prior journalistic ethics. Not who has trashed someone the worst.


Now that journalism has collapsed and is devoid of ethics and integrity, it is unlikely to ever regain the prior position of public trust.

That article is pretty ironic, given that pretty much the entire Murdoch media empire around the world has revolved around promoting a specific ideology.

The topic of this thread really isn't the collapse in journalistic ethics. It's about supposedly how horrible the press has treated Trump. It just pretends to be about journalistic ethics.

If you want to talk about the collapse of journalistic ethics, we'd be talking about how the head of a bizarre conspiracy-pushing, yellow journalistic, low-brow extreme right-wing web site with absolutely zero experience running an election campaign is now the head of the Republican Presidential campaign.

Absolutely bizarre.

Edit - Also, journalism was probably much worse a long time ago than it is today.

 

[Pogo]

This all began off two factors -- (a) the transition of News to a commercial profit-making enterprise, and (b) Lush Rimjob.

The former cheapens what's defined as news, not at all ameliorated by its being controlled by an increasingly shrinking number of corporations with whose interests objective News conflicts, i.e. if you own a television network and also make nuclear power generators and war machines ---- then your network is not going to be trustworthily reporting on nuclear power and war. In the old daze the networks were still commercial but the News was treated as a public service pill they would swallow and operated at a loss, subsidized by the mindless sitcoms that followed.

And (b) served to bring about the Eliminationist polarization that we swim in today, the soup where one's adversaries become dehumanized creatures to be rounded up and exterminated. We see it every day on this board.

So the NYP writes a very biased article about journalism being biased. That's rich.

Trump brings his negative press on to himself. The articles write themselves. Now run along and be a good little Republican and remember that Republicans believe that people should take responsibility for their actions and their words, remember? That goes for Mr. Trump too

And has fairly uniformly attacked Trump as well, but from the perspective of Neoconservatism.

 

[Disir]

No, they won't recover.
And the kicker is that the election is going to be over at some point. This is winning the battle to lose the war.

Bullshit. Nothing Trump has done has been criminal or as deceptive and self serving as Hillary Clintons lies about her Foundation and its ongoing bribery, her record of failure as Secretary of State, her identification with light versions of Marxism and her endorsement of Black Lies Matter, her disregard for Americans that are suffering because of her playing loyal team mate to a failure of a President, the rule by decree Obama Regime, etc.

One thing we can be sure of is that no matter what Hillary Clinton does, she will be able to count on partisan hacks to come to her defense, hacks like yourself.

The Mass Corporate owned Media has dug its own grave, and now all we need is for trustworthy websites to evolve on the net and we can shovel the dirt on their coffins.

Study: Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, gets the most negative media coverage

So much for this thread!

If you are not doing it that means that someone else is. So.................who the hell is "trustworthy'? And why are you pinning your hopes on someone else?

Mother Jones and Alternet are done. Even Chris Hedges looks like crap.
