Word of mouth and the Internet are the only press we have left.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm very much in support of the free press, but the free press ought to be educational and informative. And I believe they have fallen down recently on that.
The press is the enemy.
The press these days should be rather careful about its role. We may have acquired some tendencies about over-involvement that we had better overcome.
A free press needs to be a respected press.
I really hate press.
The Internet is king. Newspapers are dead or dying. Magazines are shrinking every day. Ad budgets are being cut. The bottom line is now the only line in advertising.
With the growing reliance on social media, we no longer search for news, or the products and services we wish to buy. Instead they are being pushed to us by friends, acquaintances and business colleagues.
We talk about a free press. These people hide, they make a lot of money off the media. They hide behind the slogans of free press, and then they can come out with crap like that. It's just garbage. It's insulting to the readers.
For billionaires who cannot buy good press, there is the option of buying the press.
The press is still investing itself, it seems to me, in a sort of cynicism. It comes out better for them if they can predict hard times, bogging down, sniping, attrition.
