    Kind of off topic, but what has happened to our journalism?

    This essentially is article about a tweet and how others on twitter responded to it.

      This is what news.com.au in Australia (Murdoch media) sees as peak journalism.
      They’ll regularly trawl Reddit and twitter for ‘stories’ and how the public reaction (read: 1 comment) is.

      It’s become a bit of a joke in the Australia subreddit to ask to be included in the screenshot.

        But how will i, a rural Australian know what to think if i don’t see what others think online /s

        Seriously though it’s like promoting the letters to the editor to the front pages of the paper.

        Just a ludicrous idea

      To be fair, journalism has always been shit since the invention of journalism.

      A few stars always shine, yes, but the industry as a whole is garbage.

      The liberal rags were in hysterical tears for 4 years of Trump and Biden is the only way to save Democracy and this is the most important election of our lifetimes and and and and

      …and the leftists told them for 8 years exactly what the result of their actions would be, and they did it anyway.
