fuckin market based solution for investigative journalism, gently caress, whatever, just stop caring. consume nonsense, be anxious for no reason, die. no sense being a whiny twat over the iniquity inherent in our species, passed on to all our devices.

lozzle posted:So are we just gonna ignore the paragraph where he says people complaining about false balance are bad and should feel bad? Read it again. quote:1) The people complaining about "false balance" usually seem confident in having discovered the truth of things for themselves, despite the media's supposed incompetence. They're quite sure of whom to vote for and why. Their complaints are really about the impact that "false balance" coverage might have on other, lesser humans, with weaker minds than theirs. Which is not just snobbish, but laughably snobbish. So, shut up. Does this describe you? If so, then I agree with Taibbi: shut up. If not, then he's not talking about you and you don't need to have your feelings hurt. Given that this paragraph is literally embedded into an article complaining about the state of the media, I suspect that Taibbi is not making a blanket statement about every single person who has ever complained about the current state of journalism.

Paradoxish posted:Read it again. That article is a treatise on missing the point, he spends the time waffling between the article form every stupid "why do people care about Whitney Houston dying and not are troops!?" facebook meme ever and falsely equating complaints of false balance with saying the media should be throwing the election. He is mostly correct that the current state of the media is due to the stupidity of the audience but that is a dumb article.

i think Christopher Columbus was bad, despite common consensus he is good. I am empowered by facts, borne high above the churning scum of humanity. I do not think that there is equivalence between socialism and nazism. I am a superior being, casting a baleful gaze upon my lesser, misinformed begotten kin whom dare tarnish my beautiful vision for for the world. I unfurl my wings; I am the next stage in human evolution, casting doubt on the importance of asking the Baldwins about current events, destroying the common soul of America with my snobbish profligacy of judgment over the state of media in a capitalist society.

VP debate is going to likely be a wash (and no one cares except for diehard politics nerds), though the Town Hall is going to be what ultimately makes or breaks Trump. He has a good showing, and he might be able to make things competitive again. He has a bad showing, and all that's left is to wonder "how bad will the blowout be and/or how will we be able to deal with such a harvest of corncobs?"

He'll flail around inanely and short Hillary throwing up and collapsing on stage or something he may very well end up turning the audience hostile against him which would be incredible.

Honestly if we see Manager 4 it won't matter what he does. His campaign will fall apart from sheer organizational stresses at that point.

Also! Io's overly simplistic state of the race! Right now, as it stands, Hillary is up 293-215-30. This determination is done via what are the "tossup" states (NV, AZ, CO, WI, MI, PA, VA, NC, FL, and NH) and RCP average. If the RCP average is < 1, the state remains a tossup (NV, CO, and NC), 1 <= average <= 2 then lean, 2 < average <= 3 then likely, and 3 < average is safe. So, as it stands: http://www.270towin.com/maps/mxO6v Chokes McGee posted:Unless Trump floods the town hall with his own supporters I can't imagine anything except for a wash at best. He's going to peacock in front of an audience like he always does and, surprise, most of America hates the garbage you're spewing! It's supposed to be "undecided voters", and the questions are pre-screened, I believe.

Paradoxish posted:What he's (correctly) arguing against is the blame that's placed on journalists. They are doing their jobs. Their job is to create content that makes money for the company that employs them. If you don't like that, then find a way to get people to actually pay for investigative journalism. Nope. Journalists are 100% responsible for the state of journalism.

Paradoxish posted:Holy poo poo, dude. There's no such thing as ethical journalism in a capitalist system. This is the inescapable conclusion I've come to. For-profit journalism has no compelling motive to encourage ethical reporting that responds to reality on the ground. Journalists actually reporting on things and NOT using false equivalency are the exception, and are not actually doing their job. They're like police officers in a major city, under orders to racially profile and meet certain arrest quotas, who buck authority and do the right thing. They've made the ethical choice, but they're not doing their job. I don't mean to say they should do their job as it stands, but merely that the barrels are all rotten.
