Not individual personas, but the media organizations themselves. These aren't scrappy publications living in damp, ill-lit rooms exposing the evil villains of Gotham, these are multi billion dollar corporations with political ambitions.
The job of modern "journalism" is no longer to inform - it's to influence. The individual players just tow the party line.
- gumby 6y ago> The job of modern "journalism" is no longer to inform - it's to influence. Has the purpose of journalism ever been to “inform”? Seems it has always (well, going back for centuries at least) been to argue a point. I say this out of sympathy for journalists, not to condem them. > The individual players just tow the party line. Aren’t you contradicting yourself? If your aim is to influence the last thing you’d do is toe the line; rather you’d cross it without a thought.
