As the Press Begins Laying Off "Journalists," Suddenly "Journalists" Discover That There Is an Actual Cost to Economic Shutdown
It didn't matter, and was a cost that could be cavalierly dismissed -- until our precious "journalists" started losing jobs.
Gannett announced Monday it is cutting pay and furloughing journalists at its newspapers across the country as ad revenue plunges during the coronavirus pandemic. The publisher of more than 100 newspapers, including USA Today, the Detroit Free Press, The Columbus Dispatch and The Arizona Republic, is reportedly furloughing workers who make more than $38,000. Those employees will be subject to furloughs of one week per month in April, May and June, according to a tweet from investigative reporter Gregory Holman of the Springfield News-Leader in Missouri, a Gannett-owned paper.
And oh no! Buzzfeed is cutting its "journalists'" pay, too! The horrors! How shall we go on?
BuzzFeed is cutting pay for its employees as the company attempts to weather the coronavirus pandemic. In an internal memo on Wednesday, the company announced a graduated salary reduction for the majority of employees for the months of April and May, adding that company brass would meet with the news union to ratify the cuts.Check out this CNN whine of a headline:
Hundreds of journalists are being laid off, right when the public needs them the mostWe "need" them? Last week, a senior "reporter" decided he would "investigate" and call the mother of a Twitter rando whose opinion he doesn't like. Do we "need" him? Is he "essential personnel" in a time of crisis? Anyone with eyes can see that reporters spend 90% of their time on Twitter, retweeting tweets, and vindictively, vengefully "investigating" Twitter users they disagree with. They also deliberately push fake news, and then claim it was an "editing mistake:"

Remember a million years ago, when the Des Moines Register decided to wreck someone's life by digging up dirt on them?
The editor published the article, then canned the reporter when the public's anger reached the boiling point.
Oh, and a time-honored bike race or something was destroyed in the process.
Why wasn't the editor sacked?
It's like no one in the business actually cares to make sales/get views anymore.
It's just bad luck or something.

Most newsrooms are staffed with low pay/no pay interns, so they are safe for now.
The only people that make any real money are the editors, producers and "journalists."
Once producers and other higher ups start going on the chopping block you can expect to see articles along the lines of, "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Learned to Love the Chinese Bat Virus, and We Should All Too."

As I was rambling about last thread, current journalists don't know anything about anything. J-school teaches nothing about anything save "journalism".
Thus the Gell-Mann amnesia thing.
When you have something of import, like a fucking epidemic, you need reporters who actually know a little about the subject. Same thing with everything else that comes up.
So rather than the press being made up of credentialed "journalists", you need them made of people from various fields that will be covered.
That's a change the media ought to make. Fire all the snowflake J-school grads and hire people from various other fields willing to play reporters on their subjects.

For example, the last week or so, the task force briefings have featured usually at least a few good questions, which elicited important info (to those paying attention and thinking, anyway). Today's the part I've seen, has had quite a bit of this (and, a bit late, they brought out the charts and graphs and detail that's been missing).
So yeah, we need a real media - we just don't have it, generally.

The best journalism is local, because the reporters are accountable to their audience. The further up, the more crap writers there are.
And most, honestly, never took an ethics class (yes, there is such a thing) because they have English degrees and no job. Or they agreed to take unpaid internships for "the prestige" like that POS Times editor with the anti-white chip on her shoulder.

Remember a million years ago, when the Des Moines Register decided to wreck someone's life by digging up dirt on them?
The editor published the article, then canned the reporter when the public's anger reached the boiling point.
Oh, and a time-honored bike race or something was destroyed in the process.
Why wasn't the editor sacked?
It's like no one in the business actually cares to make sales/get views anymore.
It's just bad luck or something.

An ISU guy begged for beer money with a hand made sign held up behind an interview. He got thousands, and then said he was donating it all to the U of I childrens Hospital. Then he and the hospital got over a million bucks from people. The worthless gutless shits at Annheuser Busch even kicked in.
Then the reporter found some stupid tweets from the guy when he was fifteen, and destroyed his life. Annheiser Busch dropped him, slandered him, ran away like the gutless shits they are.
Since Iowans couldn't lynch the bastards at the Des Moines Register, they settled for destroying their biggest asset, the RAGBRAI Race.

Now try the whole quote, "They listened to a lot. Well, because this is a much different problem than Ebola. Ebola, you disintegrated, especially at the beginning. They've made a lot of progress now on Ebola. But with Ebola - we were talking about it before - you disintegrated. If you got Ebola, that was it.This one is different. Much different. This is a flu. This is like a flu. And this is a much different situation than Ebola.But - and we're working on Ebola right now, by the way. We're working on certain areas of the Congo. The Congo has Ebola and caused largely by the fact that they have war and people can't get there. We can now treat Ebola. In that - at that time, it was infectious and you couldn't treat it. Nobody knew anything about it. Nobody had ever heard of anything like this. So it's a much different situation."
Part of the reason Ebola didn't spread very far was because it would kill all of its hosts so quickly the victims didn't have as much time to interact with others and infect them. So it would kill a village or two, then starve of carriers.
Trump is plainly saying in this quote that Covid-19 is much more like the flu than like Ebola when it comes to the infected appearing healthy when they're infectious and its incubation time.

We need these assholes who are practically gleefully reporting that the number of deaths in America now surpasses those in China. Because why would anyone question the numbers out of China? We need these assholes who are so excited about the number of deaths that are predicted because they think if this is bad enough they get rid of Trump and bring in their commie utopia. We need these assholes to get on Air Pinochet

Rush a caller from small town in CA that was concerned about home schooling her kids 'coz she didn't know how to teach Common Core. I think she was worried about kids performance on state tests if she didn't teach Common Core. Is there a penalty for kids if they don't perform well on state test? It was a weird call.

Hmmm. You mean after Trump stopped flights from China, despite the MFM's wailing of xenophobia and racism? Why don't you give a specific date when we had sufficient evidence and had exhausted other reasonable options, Potato head.
And we know it would have looked like Impeachment, Part 2, Electric Boogaloo, brought to you by Nanzi Pelosi and fatty Nadless.

I've read Marc Fisher's WaPo article in question.
The Twitter rando (McMillan), indeed, was a rando. But ... he'd already faced a firestorm on Twitter for those opinions (which I don't share either btw).
The WaPo reporter did his investigation and called said rando. Most of the resulting article is a balanced attempt to get McMillan's side out. Also McMillan's parents agree with McMillan (mostly) and were keen to get on the record.
There are a lot of bad journalists but Marc Fisher is one of the better ones, in this case.

A very drunk lesbian fell down late one evening, injuring herself slightly, and was questioned by the police. She told the cops that she drunkenly fell. Hours later, she decided that it would sound better if she said that she was assaulted by a right-winger (and then established a GoFundMe to raise money for herself).
This "reporter" breathlessly reported on this, and spent several weeks using the alt-weekly to amplify reports of further assaults on social media, none of which was first-hand ("a friend of mine heard from a friend of xers..."). Angry meetings were held, demonstrations took place, people began panicking and other Portland media started "reporting" on this wholly imaginary series of assaults. This was all Trump's fault, of course.
Yeah, I really want that "reporter" to keep her job.

Well... lots of asians and international travel from nyc.
Plus everyone is crowded on public transportation.
Plus the mayor is a complete idiot.
Plus the city govt encouraged everyone to go to the chinese lunar festival in chinatown in manhattan in february to show unity with our chinese friends.
Plus nyc closed down businesses and schools later than anyone else and didnt take any of this seriously.
Oh, and everyone lives in tiny apartments in buildings that are mostly 60+ years old with communal elevators that no one ever cleans, and everyone has to touch shit constantly. Even outside of global pandemic times, nyc is incredibly dirty.

Of course, history shows that the self-appointed Best and Brightest are usually not even close to being the sharpest tools in the drawer, but that's another story."

Even Fauci answered this perfectly - "Every day we update our models; as our behavior changes, the data changes, and the models change."
So what is predicted today is probably not what will be predicted a few days from now, depending on our actions. Everyone with any sense at all should understand that.

If there are less than 15,000 deaths (ie way less than a typical flu season) then there needs to be public executions for all who exaggerated the death toll that led to the entire world being put on pause.

I know they're in full swing in HI for tsunami. This is SF bay area. I think they mowed down pretty much every single tower back in the 70's. Except this H.S. apparently. I was wondering if it's for the dam I sit under. They've been told they need to drain the lake, as it doesn't meet seismic requirements.
If we had "the big one" according to the data I'd be in 20-30' of water in about 45 seconds.

I think you're right. And not just Italy but all of Europe that was infected before we were. And there are other random sources that are spawning new outbreaks like the group of 90 20somethings that chartered a plane to attend Spring Break in Mexico and we now know at least 22 of them tested positive after their return to Texas.
