How Did The Podcast People Replace Journalists?

 At some point in the Bush II era....I sat watching a White House press conference....with Dana Perino.  Question variety started to be obvious....like 5th grade kids taking two minutes for details....then asking a 9-word question.  Then they'd piece together this for the nightly CBS, NBC, CNN or ABC news piece. You can call it a narrative or connect-the-dots propaganda piece.

This lead into the 2008-to-2016 era, where journalists weren't really journalists anymore.

Somewhere around 2017/2018....I started to view podcast programs.  By 2020....I was pretty much 'stuck' on podcasts being the main form of news for me.

If you asked me what happened?  There was a evolution....where 'talking-dogs' (journalists) accepted their lower status in life, and podcasters came to fill the void.

Anger building up?  Well....yeah, the journalists are saying you need to dump the podcast crowd....get yourself back to the right narrative/connect-the-dots mentality.  You sit there for a minute....asking why, and it just sounds like a 5th-grade kid talking.

I sat yesterday watching Margaret Brennan of CBS's Face The Nation episode from the weekend.  The segment just didn't work....on various levels....you felt like some propaganda piece was the goal.  

Bold new world we live in.

My absolute favorite journalist of all time is that TRANSVESTITE spokes-model for the Ukraine.

A dude dressing up as a really ugly woman and demanding everybody to call him 'her'... while wanting to be taken seriously?
