Ah Journalists !!!

Its incredible how Journalists have become self-serving, self justifying and self glorifying !

Its incredible how news media have form a cabal and there is no competition except for the odd bloggs.

If there were journalists there would not have been the war in Iraq.
There would not have been the mess in Ivory-Coast and there would be democracy in Guinea Equatorial and Saudi Arabia!
If there were Journalists then the massavre in the great lakes area would not have happened not the one in Darfur.
The nexus between journalists and political power is reminescent of the church and rulers power-grip over people in mediaeval Europe.
In the name of patriotism (and some favor for a partner or family member)...news is filtered and vetted by the government.

And people who can shout or write without pausing are called journalist...Analysis are given at length as long as the cabal of power and news does not lose out. Yes you have to lose a few members just to keep the news going but truly...

Who is this journalist that has resigned because he reported that miners have been found alive and passed the news across the world and got families hopes up just to have their hearts broken....yes he resigned, right ?!!!

Who are those journalists that quit in disgust because they whipped every bit of patriotic sentiment because the world is in danger ...without checking a word of what was being fed to them and now are responsible for 100000 or more tragedies or many more families in sadness...yeah they quit and open their conscience in public, right ?!!!

Or are they just shouting and writing...oh look at me or see how beautifully i write !!! oh i am star ! I am a star....

Sadly enough the era of journalism to spread the news is going to be over because we can't trust. Just as medieval people could not trust their priests to tell them about how the king is ruling (yes there were/are exceptions...but they are just that...exceptions) and we will have to find another way to open up the news and freedom of speech....unless we get better people out there as journalists.
