When the front-line commandant turns the rifle on his own head, and the
King's chief executioner tightens the noose around his own neck, then it
"slipperily" slides home that ants have attacked the hunters' hub!
Before traditional media space was brightly shone upon by the liberalism
ray of light, practitioners that dug into the trade broke sweat on the
sole ground of being 'eyes and ears' of the public. They executed their
cardinal 4th estate duty for the general good of the public, that not
only portrayed them as professional rumor-mongers but also as astute
information engineers at tickling the public to act and get moving to a
positive direction.
But when liberalism crept into the watch-man's tower
cubicle, he came along with his commercialism twin-brother and both
crippled the mighty man's strong feet that stood guard of the Boss'
values and norms.
Today news reporters(labelled so quite absurdly) will
ride on a 'half false' or 'half baked' story simply because of an
'illusionist' mind-note that 'he who alleges that the story is false
must prove'. This also is opportunely exploited because it tickles the audience's attention and breeds healthy ground to be exploited by the commercialism twin brother.
Journalists(correctly put) are now refrained from crediting
a rival news source for breaking a 'good story' for a 'sorry' reason
that i call fear of tilting the audience advantage scale. However, they
are quick at drawing daggers when a rival news source is pinned for
outing a 'false story' and will announce or print their name in 'Bold'
and 'Caps on.'
Disturbingly, this commercial-pined rivalry has trickled
down to our humane fiber and am not surprised when disaster or tragedy
strikes one of our own, we get 'jelly kneed' to name the media house one
worked for, if at all we even cue it in, in our official news tube!!
