Personal: Journalists

We all their kind don’t we?  They report what happens in the world.  This will include the big stories to the little celebrities wearing an orange shirt.

There’s been a lot of accusations thrown at the media lately regarding #FakeNews and ridiculously created headlines all for one thing ‘clicks’.  

 

The sad thing is they’re also responsible for telling the world what is going on.  What happens when there is no news? They create it.

 

This can be from big fake news stories which we’ve even faced in this Country.  The biggest one of recent times is Piers Morgan involved in a fake story regarding soldiers torturing prisoners.  That’s right – they did this story.  They ran with it and published it with no questions about the integrity of it.  This is the true nature of journalists.

They will report any little spider sense tingle they get down their spine.  If they’re wrong they can simply create a single paragraph on page 40 at the bottom right apologising for it’s mistake.  You only have to look at the political turmoil the papers create as well.  Why? Because it sells and because it creates their own political agenda.  Sad and pathetic.

 

They’ve got to do it.  It’s what gets their pay wage and certainly gone are the days where journalists only reported the news unless they were government driven which was just as bad as any dictatorship run nation.

 

Football Transfers are a prime example.  There can be zero leaks but just hints. If a player is leaving this creates an open slot so here comes all the assumptions of which players will come.  If a player that fits that slot is unhappy at his current club this is almost as if putting a 1+1 = 2.  Even though there will be zero sources to back it up.  That’s the interesting part “sources”.  Most of these journalists will claim to have sources say but it’s a lie, it’s nothing and just click bait.  That’s right – click bait.

 

I’m not a journalist, I didn’t go to a grammar school because I was born in to a family that are well off and are friends with politicians and local businessman.  I was born in real Britain.  Not protected by wealth and power.  I’ve got to where I am through my own hard work.  I didn’t get to roll through the gates in my parents nice car.  I didn’t get my life sorted through them.  Everything I achieved even my own college work had nothing to do with their support.  It’s sad but it’s very true.  I didn’t have any support not even for home work “you go to school to learn not to come home and do it”.  They had no ambition to do better in life.  That’s the real Britain.  The real voters have made the difference in both major votes of Brexit and the recent election.  We use social media to keep tabs in the world.  We talk to real people working in real every day jobs in every day professions.  We’re the ones who actually understand real every day Britain.  Having worked in the education sector for decades you always learn which kids have got better backgrounds than others.  Those kids turn out to be the spoilt rotten ones who think they are gods greatest gift to the world.  Quick to react instead of quick to listen.  Quick to divert attention from the real issues at hand.

 

Interestingly enough journalists  hardly ever get called up on their poor articles until recently.  In fact I wouldn’t mind a better regulation system that forced the papers to only present what actually happened.  With real truthful headlines not click bait grabbers.  The excuses they use “we have a living to earn” you also have a duty to be honest and not create fake news.  Who cares though right? As long as you earn a living, get that pay rise and promotion.  Perhaps you can start attacking peoples English.  Attack my English/I attack your honesty.  I attack your integrity as a journalist.  I attack your ability to divert a question and still not accept responsibility for what you are doing – CLICK BAITING.  In 2017 though we’ve seen a major shift where every day people are fed-up.  I’ve already mentioned the two repercussions of real Britain and now we are starting to see journalists get called up on it – rightly so.  It’s time they finally did.

 

The papers are being torn up for their major mistakes, corruptions, fake news and dodgy deals.  GOOD.  At the end of the day the people deserve honest truths and to be told when it’s an opinion piece and what are based on facts.  With all the “sources say” in regards to Lukaku no one was right.  After months of speculation it turns out the player was going to a different club and that club had been agreed for some time.  The “sources say” were wrong like usual.  It’s far too easy to add “sources say” when in fact how many is actually from sources? Not just made up click bait.

 

It's pathetic.  What do we expect though?  When the likes of Piers Morgan does it often.  The nation’s biggest hypocrite who has carefully worded articles with constructive criticism but if it’s about anyone else.. well.. they look like they were written very similar to what I am doing right now.
