Gonzo hypocrisy; zero journalism
The crap that’s showing up on CBC of late is beyond fake news, beyond ridiculous, and beyond even a caricature of actual “news.” Here’s what I believe lies at the root of the problem. As an occupation, the journalism profession has been shrinking for decades. Since the 1980s something like three-quarters of all mainstream journo jobs have disappeared, the kind of jobs with real salaries, benefits, and career paths. While the jobs disappeared, university journalism programs kept pumping out fresh grads – into a zero jobs economy. That’s where the government decided taxing Google and Meta would raise the money required to provide at least temp employment to all these budding journalists. And here we are. A news environment dominated entirely by press releases from activist groups, think tanks, corporations, and govt spokepersons. Where’s the “journalism?” Whatever happened to “afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted?” Whatever happened to “speaking truth to power?” I’ll tell you what happened. When you come out of Carleton or TMU or any of the others with that shiny new degree, or, God forbid, even a Masters, what are you gonna do in that bullshit fake job? Speak truth to power? No way! You’ll do everything you can to get a pat on the head and get noticed by power, because the only possible hope you have of every paying down your student loans and having a life is if you get into a rare paying slot at the Globe or the CBC, and “truth to power” ain’t gonna take you very far up that road!
