El Deber Olvidado: Informar Hechos vs. Opiniones.
Existe una fuerte demanda para que los periodistas se centren en los hechos y dejen de lado sus opiniones, siendo criticados por actuar como meros repetidores de lo que dicen las figuras de poder.
- Disseminate the facts, and keep your opinions to your fucking selves.
- A journalists job is to determine the truth, not report whats said to them like a parrot with breast implants.
- Reporting unsubstantiated remarks is not the job of the press. Reporting facts is their job.
- Journalism is reporting the news, challenging authority, and checking facts, not patting yourself on the back because you did your job right for once.
El Miedo al Despido y la Pérdida de Integridad Profesional.
Muchos comentarios sugieren que el miedo a perder el trabajo, el acceso o las represalias económicas está llevando a los periodistas a autocensurarse o a alinearse con el poder, traicionando su vocación.
- So holding certain people to account as a journalist will cost you your job these days in america. Bonkers stuff altogether.
- If you dont have the guts to do your job properly. Quit.
- When news reporters are more afraid of their bosses and losing their job for telling the truth and pushing back against lies, then subtle gaslighting the public is the news you actually get.
- Why would you speak up when you have a cushy job which you might lose if you do?
La Crítica al "Both Sidesism" y la Normalización del Autoritarismo.
Se critica duramente a los medios por buscar un falso equilibrio ("both sidesism") incluso cuando se enfrentan a mentiras flagrantes o tendencias autoritarias, lo que se percibe como una normalización del comportamiento extremo.
- The medias job is not to speak the truth and call out lies. The medias job is to maximize the amount of money made for the owners of the media.
- The medias job is not to be friendly to any administration is to objectively cover events in a factual manner.
- The medias both sides ism puts another nail in the coffin of democracy.
- Whitewashing blatant lies is their job.
El Llamado a la Acción: Periodistas Deben Enfrentar al Poder.
El público exige que los periodistas dejen de ser amables con los funcionarios y comiencen a hacer preguntas difíciles, a confrontar las mentiras directamente y a cumplir con su rol de "cuarto poder" fiscalizador.
- Wont anyone have the spine to tell this guy that what hes saying is absolutely not true? youre journalists, ffs! do your job!
- Speaking truth to power shouldnt cost anyone their job.
- Its their job to help trump and keep us at each others throats.
- Its literally your job to find this shit out.
La Crisis de Credibilidad y el Auge de Medios Independientes.
La percepción general es que los medios corporativos han perdido toda credibilidad, llevando a muchos a buscar información en plataformas independientes, podcasts y fuentes extranjeras que sí parecen estar haciendo el trabajo de investigación.
- Journalists that havent moved to an independent platform free of corporate influence by now should be ashamed of themselves.
- This is precisely why independent journalists like me have a job.
- All we have left is to do the work ourselves.
- I have to go to foreign news to find anything of value or the meidas touch.
