Blog / site idea....

Hi y'all wanted to know people's thoughts around starting a blog which calls journalists out for the ctap they produce. I mean I was on news limited the other day and I think 3 of the top 5 stories were about the kardashians or the bachelor or some shit. And I thought wtf is this doing masquerading as a newspaper!! I went into the articles and sure enough there are these "journalists" putting twitter posts as justification for their article!!! This really grinds my gears as all you hear is about how tough journalists have it now days with social media etc etc... I've even noticed that news limited in the last 6 months has disabled the ability to comment on their rubbish.... poor journalists can't take criticism now. I know I have referenced news limited in particular but I'm pissed at the victim approach from journalists... here's a tip --- stop producing click bait and people might want to read your crap!!! Any good getting back to the title here, what do people think of a blog calling out ssloppy / lazy / bias journalism???

  • Yeah! But.... not skewed towards one side and without a smug presenter you just feel like punching in the face hahaha
  • ... unless you feel like punching me in the face haha... oh dear I've opened myself up now lol
  • Exhibit A --- just thought I'd go on news limited to test my theory... and low and behold what do I see as the top story --- a headline which reads "SCREW UP NATION: Why failure is the "new normal" for us". Hmmm sounds quite dramatic so I clicked to see what it is about. Once in the page we have an exasperated photo of Anthony albanese of all people and the article is about the census and Centrelink debacle. As if the title isn't alarming enough there is another sub heading saying "fears of suicide". Sounds serious again I think. Oh no it's just the "journalist" lamenting about how people who are disadvantaged in Centrelink faced uncertaiinty. FFS!!!! And you wonder why journalism is fading!!! I rest my case... for now
    • Check out one of my fav sites BB, theres plenty of calling out the media there

      www.infowars.com

    • Is it an American site?
    • I'm sure you are stirring snake.
    • Ahhh snakey... I'm aware of who Alex jones is lol. Shining a conspiratory light is one thing but I am more talking about a lack of journalistic integrity across the board... doesn't matter if it's a cat in a tree of mass goverbment corruption. If anything the rubbish we are served up on news sites breeds people such as alex
  • Yes but its a great site, its been labeled fake news by the real fake mainstream news but youll find more real news there than most other places, its the site that sunk Hillary, Alex jones is a very entertaining bloke, he gets hyped up and sensationalises a few things but i love him, bookmark it BB and make your own mind up.
