| Newspapers are just as bad as television.
Recently I went on the Gamergate SubReddit, Kotakuinaction, and saw there was a reporter from the New York Times with a thread going. He had question of the pro-GG people, and said he wanted to write a purely fact-based article, and wondered if people would show good faith and answer a few questions. He was going to write an article with quotes from both sides, and let readers draw their own conclusions. Some people didn't believe him, but it's the fucking New York Times, and he got lots of honest responses. Few days later he posted his article online for people to look at and react to before it went to print. It was an impartial article. But then a few days after that, the article suddenly had two bilines, and had been completely rewritten. All gamers are violent and hate women, the usual crap. People were like, "B-b-but... The paper of Record!" So much for having good faith, having their word twisted and made out to be monsters. This was the article that went to print. It was like seeing 200 people lose their virginity, it was glorious. When I took a journalism course in college, our instructor was a PR guy. Spent his whole career writing stories for his agency to be published in newspapers around the country. He knew how to put together a news story, that's for sure. Advertisements hiding as journalism, embedded ads, whatever. Newspapers today are crap and you shouldn't take them for their word about anything. |
