Journalism and corporate structures are incompatible.

Billionaires are billionaires because they meddle and are self-centred. It’s never enough, and you can’t be a billionaire unless your core is one of psychopathy and a profound lack of limits.

Journalism collapsed for many reasons, but being owned by corporate overlords who look to squeeze money and free propaganda killed that profession.

Journalism is not a get-rich quick scheme. It is not a vanity press for “influencers” voguing. It is about information dissemination.

Journalists need independence and individuality, and when a billionaire cuts your paycheck, you are a peon, a servant. You become a nobody who has to parrot your overlord’s self-serving opinions.

If journalism were to ever resurrect, it cannot be owned by billionaires. It must be empirical. It must be independent. It must be fluid, innovative, experimental, and above all else, rude.

It has to be other things, too, such as orignal.

And you can’t pull your punches. You are supposed to be a living nightmare to people who think having some money is a protection.

If we had a thinking press, they would have made their own alternative to Google. They would have their own AI.

You are not supposed to be a stenographer for well-heeled grifters. Then you are their enabler.

Journalism clashes with corporate culture because corporations treat their workers as livestock, and to be report the truth, journalists have to be wild jungle cats.

There are no easy answers in life. You either struggle in a war; or never have a moment of happiness in peace. In my life, people have more fear during peace than they do during war, and there is a reason for that.
