So you're telling me with 100s of now jobless educated people, not one of the people fired is going to start a new company to compete with this? If no one does what a waste of a possibility.

lucky starting a new company is very easy especially starting a company with the intent of taking on a monolithic company owned by one of the world's richest business men

i'd b okay with this because vice has been p good the last few years. dont know why people call them bro documentaries because stuff like going to liberia to talk with butt naked and stuff is legit as hell

but i might change my mind if i knew of more news agencies who did the embedded reporters then actually put their reports up somewhere instead of giving me a 5 minute clip then telling me to buy their book

I think they're labelled "bro documentaries" because there's not a whole lot of professionalism and they're very up front with the "yeah I'm half assing this" aspect of reporting that a lot of people try to hide. However once you get passed that they're not that bad, and like you said I like how they'll post the whole article and not try to sell a book to you.

I think that's a fair criticism (although it varies wildly depending on who is doing the reporting - a lot of the time people look at the stupid website reports that people can just submit or whatever and conflate that with stuff like the ISIS reporting) but on the other hand I feel like there's no new agency worth a poo poo anymore in the professionalism or integrity department. They're all out to make special interests look good and there's no investigative journalism to speak of anymore with them anyway.

Hopefully the magazine stays the same and the lovely channel gets fixed. But I doubt seņor Murdoch will let them keep up their hippy science mumbo jumbo bullshit like:



RIP Nat Geo, your pictures were awesome.

But it's the left who promotes the whole GMO is evil and the Moon landing was Fake thing.

Maybe we've covered every facet of the earth worth talking about and now all that exists are sad stories like mexican cartels trafficking people into the USA to serve as neo-slaves like how the triads were doing this in california only they're using meth and weed money instead of heroin money to fund it all.

honestly a lot of new scientific developments are way too technical to describe to most people because science has been making leaps and bounds since computers took off

much easier to make a story people will watch if its about cartels murderraping people instead of how discovery of a new particle is relevant to the average person

It's not even that, it's just the obvious bias that most major news organizations have. It isn't even liberal v conservative so much as it is just pro whatever conglomerate owns the media company.

Similar to the finance system it's pretty scary how a few media conglomerates own a majority of US media companies.
