MSM "bloodbath" underway

Funny thing. When you let people use you to peddle your schlock, you come out with a terrible reputation.

How unpredictable an outcome!

And they continue to discredit themselves.

That's a great video LOL Glenn's comments about Taylor Dumbass-Lorenz are awesome.

Regarding the premise that the legacy media is dying.... Good riddance to bad rubbish.

My take is that the content and function of the legacy media really isn't much different than it was 50 years ago. The difference is now we have transparency and it's a whole lot easier to see right thru their bull$#@!. Thanks in large part to the internet.

50 years ago to get the word out about some bull$#@! story being pushed by the mainstream media, you had to do it with letters and landline phone calls and maybe a billboard or poster on the telephone poles.

Not any more. Hell, Joe Rogan runs a video that destroys a bull$#@! narrative and it's viral in minutes. Which is awesome.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Intrepid again.

Just exactly so.

Thanks to social media (including, in its own small way, RPFs), they can warp or hide facts, but they can no longer warp or hide the fact that they are warping or hiding facts. As much well-deserved criticism as social media venues such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube quite properly receive, they are despite themselves nevertheless a huge blessing on net.

It used to be - back in the Before (Social Media) Times - that stories like this could be easily covered up, all wrapped in a nice, tidy narrative with a little bow on top. Uncle Walter would come on the Evening News and tell you what was what (perhaps with brief follow-up updates from time to time), and you'd probably never know there might be anything else to the matter. (And if you were aware there might be more to it, then it was probably because you were one of those fringe weirdos of the sort who subscribed to obscure snail-mail newsletters written and distributed by the kind of people Uncle Walter and his colleagues would summarily dismiss as "cranks", "crackpots", and/or "conspiracy theorists".)

But thanks to the Internet in general and social media in particular, they can't get away with that anymore. Any Joe Rando can clap back at their shenanigans with just as much visibility. (In fact, the more visible the latter-day Walters are now, the more visible the clap-back against them becomes.)

They can no longer effectively curate the things being said to (or control what is or isn't being presented for consumption by) the broader general public. [...] The facts of any given incident simply do not matter to them - only the "interpretation" of the incident does. But that's the way it's always been. It's just much more obvious now - and that's all thanks to social media.
