Preach it, brother!

The contemporary “newspaper” harvests its own echo chambers for moral authority and uses that leverage to break down public resistance to the demands of its audience. In place of a medium that once served the collective conversation, the aim, increasingly, seems to be to enforce groupthink and “political correctness.” Almost overnight, newspapers became battering rams for agendas like Big Gay, abortion rights, globalism, open borders, and anti-white racism, dividing the world a priori into baddies and goodies.

In the old press culture, Twitter would have been regarded as the equivalent of the back of a public toilet door, but once reporters were permitted to join social media with the blessings of their editors, the writing was on the wall. Reporters—still claiming objectivity—by night excoriated politicians or anyone who dissented from the all but mandatory agendas, but still expected their bylines on the morrow to be taken as signifying serious journalism. Without notice or discussion, it became permissible to ignore stories that were inconvenient to the newspaper’s new agendas, and to pursue vendettas beyond the point of reason, decency, or viability.

Sadly, this is too late to fix. It’s a like hard drive that’s become too corrupted and needs to be reformatted or replaced. But replaced with what?
