How do we adapt to the fast changing environment in america.

[Captain CornontheCob]

Read an article from a journalist recently about the fast changing socio-politics in the corporate world that perfectly summarized my feelings of what I have seen in the past few months.

The American Press Is Destroying Itself

A flurry of newsroom revolts has transformed the American press

This is not something I think that can be ignored. Now of course, there have always been backstabbing and social maneuvers in corporate circles by people using the the prevailing social issue to bait dissent and then get a person fired so they themselves can rise through the ranks more easily, but this kind of stuff is taking it to a whole new level.

They’ve conned organization after organization into empowering panels to search out thoughtcrime, and it’s established now that anything can be an offense, from a UCLA professor placed under investigation for reading Martin Luther King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” out loud to a data scientist fired* from a research firm for — get this — retweeting an academic study suggesting nonviolent protests may be more politically effective than violent ones!
Now, this madness is coming for journalism.

Funnily enough, I would have been fine with everything in the article happening as a teen when I was posting on here in 2016 arguing with others on new social trends, but over the years as I grew up and gained more world experience, I have to say I was wrong and the people I was arguing with were right. There are social movements that empower the average man that help make it easier for him to get a stable job and a loving wife, and then there are social movements that appear well-intentioned on the surface, but empower business owners over workers and this is one of those times I think it is the latter. We could even bring up all the social trends that corporations encourage and advertise that tend to make the average woman worse for wear for the average man, but this is probably not the thread to talk about it.

No, what should be talked about are the very fast changing social rules, unspoken, but just as devastating as those listed on the code of conduct for a career man.

I actually was bitter at first but then realized that this is just the free market at play,if i have a news channel,ultimately my aim like the aim of any other business is to make money.
because of the confirmation bias that humans have,people generally want to watch news that confirms the things that they already think.
if im trying to sell papers,im not really interested in giving you an unbiased factual report,im interested in making you a regular buyer/viewer/subscriber.
think of if you were selling newspapers in Iran,if you painted Iran as the bad guy in a conflict with america,who would want to buy your papers?
the antidote to this is that because people are different there is a market for both sides,hence fox will cater to the right and the cnn nbc crowd will cater to the left.
but i think its impossible to get any unbiased reporting,that just goes against the rules of the free market,and the free market is king
