From our time share in Orlando, Florida! When I was young, the paper and the evening news were our primary sources of news. I remember my parents sitting at the breakfast table reading the paper everyday. If we had a comment on an issue and we wanted to share it we had to write a letter to the editor and mail it. I read the paper even as a child.
Now the internet plays that roll. And it's two way! Comment here, comment there. Don't think about it. Just do it. You don't even have to have a real name to leave "News" and comments on many sites.
Now we have taken it a turn further. Big Media News has begun using data from the internet as sources. It doesn't have to be true. I could produce the results of a non-existent poll from my chair right now. It would only take a few minutes. That's sort of scary. I might actually make something happen... based on fake news.
We talk about snowflakes and I wonder how many of them are just misled, "not quite completely brain developed", for one reason or another, people who have found others like themselves. Remember, years ago, without the internet, it was almost impossible to form a nationwide protest about anything. Now they find MoveOn.com or Acorn or some liberal garbage dump, with money to pay them, and transportation and they have themselves a "By God" protest movement all atb the touch of a keyboard. They talk gibberish that people can't help but fret over, like impeaching the President...like Tom Steyer...and we worry. But we shouldn't. These people have historically been hidden by their parents as they tried to help them to see the importance of building skill sets and behavioral characteristics that would make employers want to hire them. Now they have found friends, and support from outside the family...like a gang. The snowflakes have less pressure on them to conform so they will last longer, and they will leave a larger, nastier class of miserable, non-self-supporting welfare dependents (many of them with serious police records and multiple fatherless children) for us to deal with, but that's really about all they will leave.
So, what has this got to do with the Media? These people are their new audience. Not only do these snowflakes read and believe whatever they read that they WANT to believe, they create a lot of the news. Our new newsmakers...snowflakes...children who fail to launch. Welcome to the new world, but don't get too upset. Sooner or later most of them will conform. The MSM makes the bunch look like it's huge...but there really isn't enough of them to bother with.So, have another cup of coffee and read the paper. It's going to be a great day!
