Journ*lism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for frickoffs and misfits—a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage.

The media really has taken an L in the last few years. Back in the day, the media was all-powerful. Walter Cronkite singlehandedly turned the public against the war in Vietnam with a single broadcast, Woodward and Bernstein ended Nixon's presidency, and 1 op-ed about "malaise" crippled Carter and defined Reagan's successes in the following decade.

The cracks did start to show after the media dutifully carried water for Bush in Iraq, and their weird shift to focusing on social issues after the financial crisis. Trump was the shot across the bow, where they organized a unified campaign against him and people... Didn't care?

Then with COVID they tried to install narrative.exe and plenty of people just willfully ignored the media. Now they are desperate, and trying to run the same tired playbook but it just isn't working, and even their political followers are finding it embarrassing.

In conclusion, frick Jannies, frick journ*lists, everything is a spook

Jump in the discussion.

>they organized a unified campaign against him and people... Didn't care?

True, they failed enormously. But it's not just because they're agendaposting. Trump was and is objectively an inept r-slur. No wall, no China trade deal, no reelection, relegated to Mar-a-Lago with his Z-string team of sycophants. The likes of Rex Tillerson and Jim Mattis won't join a second administration. Even his self-coup failed hilariously, his r-slurs responding to "FIGHT!" by milling about aimlessly and then going home when one inept Capitol Police officer shot a single MAGAtard in the head. His one genuinely impressive, unambiguous success, producing a Big Beautiful Vaccine in record time, somehow became an albatross for his base. It's not just leftoids noticing his tremendous inability; Ann Coulter has been screeching about Trump's constant failures for years. His reaction to BLM riots was to tweet "LAW AND ORDER!!!!" and then go back to eating a hamberder. So how the frick did the media lose?

Simple: they've gotten dumber over time. There's really a huge gap between journ*lists of yesteryear and journ*lists today. Back in the 60s and 70s, if a journ*list agendaposted at you, there's a good chance he was smart (or at least not stupid) and therefore a good chance that he had a point. A significant fraction of people now working as MBAs or software developers might have been journ*lists back then. The pay was never amazing, but it was enough to buy a home and feed a family. But by the early 2000s, it was rapidly becoming the domain of failsons and Twitter harpies with trust funds. The best journ*lists of this era were almost picaresques like Russel Crowe's character in State of Play, or (for a real-world example) Charlie LeDuff. Oddball guys who would do the job for any amount. But by 2010 that was all over. Wages were genuinely unlivable even for slovenly bachelors. Vice required in-office work in Manhattan on a salary of like $24k. Normal people with brains were literally financially ineligible.

I won't just longpost at you. I'll give you an example. Here's a 1996 article about why people hate the media. Notice the enormous gulf in quality between this and what is posted in The Atlantic today. But I did recently read something similar in terms of depth and level of thought. It was this leaked Google memo about the market conditions for LLMs.

Back before journ*lism wages dried up and software became the default line of work for 115 IQ Americans, many of them wound up as journ*lists. Now it's all just Brooklyn hipsters who couldn't follow daddy into law school or investment banking.

G*mergate was a false flag against the g*mer movement.

G*mergate shifted the whole conversation from dumb women making strawmen against gaming to men attacking a woman involved in gaming.

G*mergate itself was nothing but a meaningless affair between dipshit online nerds. But at the time the lines for the great culture war had been drawn and the two sides were pretty much waiting for someone to shoot Franz Ferdinand. The truth is the culture warriors had always existed online but they were relegated to the far corners of the internet since they weren't taken seriously in the political environment at the time. Even in those places they often had to congregate in specific areas because the regulars of those sites were usually very annoyed by political infighting.

The actual seeds of the great culture war were sown by social media, which allowed the aforementioned internet subcultures to bleed over into mainstream consciousness, and eventually there was a generation of people whose political opinions were shaped by that online discourse. So some kind of G*merGate was always bound to happen, even if Zoe Quinn never existed it wouldn't have changed much in the long run.

It took me a bit as I had to find the original video and watch it to understand what Kim had said in its full context.

Also, I am happy that I decided to rise to your challenge because this video is relevant to my own career, as I work in an adjacent field and ADA practices are paramount to my success. So bonus, I found some great info.

So, the quote is being cherry-picked. The critics are failing to not only bring in the context of the whole speech but are also failing to understand, or explain if they do understand, the dynamics and general lingo that can happen at these levels of the corpo world.

Immediately after she says "terrify them about what could happen if you don't get what you want" she adds " I say that a lot as a joke..." and continues to amplify her point. Her point is to make sure to bring all your consultants, and the marketing team, to the table and have them be a part (and made aware of the importance) of the discussion of the direction, and inclusion aspects, of a story from the beginning and not at the end of production. Because failing to do so could result in financial and moral consequences for the company. This is not even out of the norm for big businesses. Like, anyone who works in marketing, or creative fields, ADA compliance, etc is used to these conversations.

When you work in big corporations, you have to sit through a lot of meetings, and learning expos (like the one she is doing), and it isn't uncommon for the speakers to use "flashy-flavor' words to keep the audience's attention, because you - as the audience- get numb and bored and will lose interest. She chose the word terrify to keep peeps attention, and thus make it memorable. Come to think of it, a lot of meetings I have been in could also be taken out of context just like she has, and it would look scary af to people with no experience or understanding of what is happening.

TL:DR

Kim is being taken out of context. Nothing she said in full context encourages or even implies, to threaten or harm people into doing and saying what they want. It was strong language to drive home a point she was making which is: that the marketing team needs to be made fully aware, and impressed upon, from the beginning of the production of the importance of the messaging that needs to be portrayed for the company's success.

What do you think victory looks like? Your enemies admitting their mistakes and apologizing of their own free will? That's delusional thinking and will never happen because these "people" are too narcissistic to ever admit that they were wrong.

In real life, victory looks like your side seizing the reins of governmental and organizational power and using it to slowly grind the vermin who stood in your way completely out of existence over the course of a generation. It's not clean and neat. There's rarely a tidy ending where your opponents say "Whoops, we fricked up! Sorry, you were completely right!" Instead it's an eternal war that lasts until the superior ideology wins and the inferior ideology is either destroyed or adapts its principles enough to be a different paradigm entirely.
