John Drinnan’s drivel

(NZ) ‘Press Council embraces the bloggers‘
This article is a confused, poorly written and misleading crock of shit. By the NZ Herald’s writer on media matters, no less.

    Summary: Bland, vanilla dinosaur media is dying in the ass because people have found a cheap, easy way to communicate among peers over vast distances. We need a means to shackle them to the same bureacracy that’s anchoring us to failure. I.e. The Press Council.

    This is exactly why I’m so grateful to KG for giving me posting privileges on his U.S.- domiciled domain!

    I love the bit about bloggers lacking balance!

      :lol: The whole thing is end-to-end garbage, innit? All this bullshit about “balance” is merely to give the leftards a stick to beat conservatives with. Their idea of balance is the old legacy media feeding people leftist bullshit and conservatives having no voice of their own.
      Fuck “balance”, we want truth. And an honest disclosure of the writer’s and publisher’s agenda.

    “…diminish the status of the traditional media…”

    Bastard owes me a new keyboard for that one! http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_wacko.gif

    The so-called press council is simply a dying 19th Century dinosaur’s wrinkled teat.

    Why any blogger would wish to latch on to an antique symbol of abject failure and irrelevance escapes me. Any blogger who signs up automatically becomes tainted and thus unreadable in my opinion.

    The sheer beauty of blogging is that it empowers readers because they can (usually) contribute, see others commentators’s opinions and…most important…can decide how involved they wish to be with any given blog or thread running thereon: or indeed whether they wish to read any given blog. A good blogger grips this reality, finds a niche in the audience and works bloody hard to feature opinion pieces and conversation-starters.

    Reader-Participant Empowerment?

    Wow! That must be be heresy-anathema to the Dead Tree Press.
