Mainstream journalism is elitist, is the problem. They seem to see entities like Wikileaks as fake journalism, that circumvents their gatekeeping. Assange isn't a hero to them, so they won't come to his defence.
- WhompingWindows 6y agoIs it possible to not be elitist while also being highly educated and expert?
- diabeticApe 6y agoLet me tell you something about highly educated experts. As a highly educated expert i attended a fairly well respected 4 year University where i was taught how to use tactics like framing to persuade my audience to view a situation how i wanted them to perceive it. I was taught that the same set of facts could be weaved into two totally different stories at my choosing. I was taught that Karl Marx fortold the death of capitalism and freedom in favor of the "fight of the proletariat". In other words a bunch of crap that any self righteousness ignorant prick with a bunch of money could pick up and use to screw over the world and enrich themselves. There's nothing inherently good about being "elite". It just makes better liars and more clever traitors.
