See city burn
Yesterday's Tottenham riot provides a perfect example of the Death of Journalism. I know very little about London, so have no preconceived sense of who's more likely to do the rioting there. Tried to get an idea from reading the major online newspapers, but they are violating the basic rules of journalism. They're giving us a condescending set of pre-kindergarten multi-culti pablum:
Oh! See city burn! Big house burn! Burn, house, burn! Burn, burn, burn! Who burn house? Who beat up man? Who do bad thing? We not know! Not, not, not! We see no bad man! No bad, no bad, no bad! No see! All your fault! Your fault, your fault, your fault! You bad!
So I tried Youtube, and immediately got a perfect picture of who's doing the rioting.
As in all other areas of life, the professionals have totally abandoned their duties while still getting paid. The duty of every profession is now performed by random unpaid citizens. ¶ 4:41 AM
