Journalism has been turned into a shameful and irresponsible profession

Pseudo-journalists have made journalism “one of the least trusted, most dishonest, craven, careless, cynical, anti-intellectual, power obsessed, herd-like professions in existence whose incompetence and duplicity has led directly to the death and displacement of millions of people” – Julian Assange

There is an exception. Sheep here have complete trust in them.

The above quote is a comment posted in TRE. Assange was caustic and angry with the pseudo journalists, which I would want to add, pseudo intellectuals, pseudo academics and analysts, all paid to write fake news and disinformation, for a few dollars, to betray their integrity and the principles of telling the truth. You can see them, hear them everywhere all over the main media, social media, forums, think tanks etc etc. They have no shame in what they were spouting or writing. Sometimes what they said or wrote may be truth, but a kind of devious truth of what the evil doers are doing and told them behind closed doors. 

How many pseudo intellectuals, academics, analysts, journalists and reporters committing this sin against their profession, against truth, just to earn a living and feel proud about it? Virtues, trust, honesty, integrity, truth have all been swept into the dustbin. Is making a living that hard today to stoop so low just to get by and gain unworthy recognition from the rogues and gangsters and terrorists in the West?

It is looking like social media is the safe refuge for honest intellectuals, academics, ex journalists, that have been banned or sidelined by the evil authority, to say their piece. Isn't it sad, when good is bad and bad is good, and poor little boys and girls have to behave like prostitutes to make a living telling lies and writing about things dictated to them and making them looking like fools and idiots, totally lacking in intellect, thinking ability and a little wisdom to know what they are writing and talking? And they have to put their names on the rubbish their wrote or talked about! Not a single one of them would dare to say or write a word about American gangsterism, expansionism, aggression and bullying against its neighbours. Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Panama etc would be part of the Greater America soon.

My god, where is this world heading?
