You would have to be truly heartless not to feel joy at this scumbag losing the rag he used to promote wars that destroy the lives and prosperity of others.
This Christmas season, let's wish him & his ex-colleagues skin-in-the-game via deployment to a warzone they helped create.
Analog journalism is little more than a pretense for sociopathic bloodthirsty scum like @BillKristol to promote their racist deathwish upon entire populations to profit weapon makers. The internet killing these rags & hopefully starving their workers is a great boon for humanity.
Analog journalism is a defunct leftover from the days of expensive printing. The centralization of printing turned journalism into a tool of the state, not a service to readers. The internet allows direct communication, increasingly making specialist journalist superfluous. Good!
In spite of all the propaganda & special interests promoting analog media dinosaur operations, the job of a specialist journalist, who contributes nothing but talk about what others do and play philosopher king, is defunct as readers can get their information directly from source
History will look back at late 20th century journalists as a unique historical anomaly. People whose only qualification is proximity to a printing press slowly started believing themselves the moral voice & authority of society. Thank you, internet, for ridding us of these pests!
Most journalists still think their internet problem is about content monetization. Reality is that the internet has destroyed the entire business model of a firm existing to report info found online for free from source, making their real job of spreading propaganda very hard.
To journalists, stop chasing gimmicks for monetization. If you want income in the 21st century, you have to provide real value to people somehow, and not act like entitled mandarins expecting money, respect & authority in exchange for free information, propaganda & haranguing.
