I am agreeing more and more with Ninja of Die Antwoord, it's 2012, we're living in the future right f----ing now. The old system is f----ed so f---k the system! We'll make or own rules.
I look at Faux in multiple ways;
1) Economically – Rupert Murdoch has a “tabloid” method of presenting news. It’s a damn good formula and it has made him very, very rich. He found a niche, conservative in this case, and has exploited it. It has also made many Faux personalities rich. From a purely business perspective, it’s a win for News Corp.
However, demographics more than suggest that their viewership is slowly shrinking, the Medium age being 65. Making it worse, they are about dead last with the under 30 market. Some predict a shift in Faux, slowing away from their bombastic, almost zealot conservatism, to a more moderate approach to lure in the youth market. It makes good business sense.
2) Journalistically – The phrase “tabloid journalism” is an oxymoron, when it comes to Faux. Even when I was in college for that degree, it was considered a joke…a bad example. From an “academic” perspective, it is like a cancer. It reduces news to entertainment in order to pander to an ideological bias or “confirmation bias.” This may be snotty of me to say I prefer news agencies or sources that at least make an attempt at “balance”, not just use it in a slogan.
3) Ideology – My view is any ideology, political, academic or religious, can be perverted and used according to the goals of the person or organization. In the case of Faux, conservatism is no more than a means to an end…Profitability.
Summary – News Corp/Faux is a social disease, driving wedges between people and flaming the fires of social discord. Like with Limbaugh, they exaggerate what divides us without even suggesting any means to bridge that gap. These are parasites, scum…rich and powerful scum but scum, nonetheless.
Liz Trotta is no more than a cog in a very large machine. Personally, I could care less what she said. She said what she was paid to say. She’s expendable as are all cogs and parts of the machine. I wish no ill will on her or on the multitude of other parts. Any animosity I may harbor is saved for those who control the machine. They are the real evil.
