Demolocke's Agenda: OPINION PIECE (Mine): The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Demolocke's Caveat

Caveat: Please make note that this article/post is my personal analysis of the subject and the information used was chosen or picked by me. It is not an analysis piece because it lacks complete and comprehensive research, it was not adequately and completely investigated and it is not balanced, i.e., it is my personal view without the views of others including subject experts, etc. Look at this as “Infotainment rather then expert research.” This is an opinion/editorial article/post meant to persuade the reader to think, decide and accept or reject my premise. It is an attempt to cause change or reinforce attitudes, beliefs and values as they apply in life. It is merely a commentary on the subject in the particular article presented.

This article is mine and mine alone. I the author of this article assure you, the reader, that any of the opinions expressed here are my own and are a result of the way in which my meandering mind interprets a particular situation and/or concept. The views expressed here are solely those of the author in his private capacity and do not in any way represent the views of other professionals or authors of source materials. It should be quite obvious that the sources I used herein have not approved, endorsed, embraced, friended, liked, tweeted or authorized this article. (Everything I think and write is true, within the limits of my knowledge and understanding. Oh, and just because I wrote it and just because it sounds reasonable and just because it makes sense, does not mean it is true.)

Finally, it is incumbent that the reader take any information they feel is relevant and useful and perform an in-depth analysis of it to work out its value to the reader. It is also stressed that the reader also present the information to qualified professionals/experts so that his or her expertise and experience can also analyze the information to validate and then synthesize said information into their ideas, theories or facts/information either as is or as synthesized into something new and creative.

Oh, it is pronounced "Dem-Locke."

OPINION PIECE (Mine): The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Demolocke’s Agenda Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

Let us talk about credibility, when one says something that later is shown as false, an untruth or just a plain lie then there comes a time when recipients of that messenger simply lose faith and begin to ignore the messenger,

The news has reached that saturation point in their collective race for the higher status of the ratings, accolades and profits they have fallen into that trap of the boy who cried wolf for crying wolf when there are no wolves 🐺.

The news is stricken with the profit bug, they put out news with such speed they are glossing over the verification and fact check processes causing false stories so that we, the readers, no longer accept and believe - news is crying out worth fiction over facts.

I am at the point where even the once solid news media sources are no longer accepted as accurate and true and factual unless I do my own personal fact checks.

The real danger, especially since the shift from newspapers and the like are no longer reliable, is the Internet and Social Media as sources cannot be relied upon either so where do you go?

News is supposed to be logical reality-based factual logical unemotional news but instead is egoistic commercialized emotional monkey dancing 💃 influence driven manipulative non-news!

News is now just another "Reality Show" that years a definition of reality that I have yet to find in any ancient printed dictionary (because you can't hack an older printed book).

I remember an old, circa mid to late seventies, 60 minutes segment interviewing a respected and admired newsman, Chet Huntley of the Huntley and Brinkley Report who said he felt that the news room, considered by the very nature of its duties to the news, was never meant to be profitable and that it was being subverted into something other than news. (Fact check this, it is what I remember; can’t find any video)

Today's news seem filled with actors with pretty faces acting to trigger our entertainment triggers in beating out the other guy for ratings, meaning profits.

So, who and what do you turn too for "Real/realistic, Factual and Valid news?"
