Media Employment Issues
If you’re wondering why corporate media seems disconnected from common sense, just take a look at some of their employees. It’s quite striking, really.
One national newspaper went as far as to hire individuals who actually thought they had an inherent right to work there. Yes, they genuinely believed that being let go was against the law. It sounds almost like a sketch in a comedy show.
Imagine this: employees roll up to work only to be told they can’t enter the building. The newspaper’s employee union stated that these individuals are still considered employees, insisting their terminations are illegal. Doesn’t that sound a bit ridiculous?
It’s baffling how some people who are meant to report the news can be so out of touch. Many of them seem entitled and immature, even admitting without any shame that they believe their jobs are untouchable.
Why would a mainstay newspaper let this type of thinking thrive in its newsroom? Just last night, after hours, one employee stated they had been furloughed by the government while trying to access work tools and the office, only to find their accounts disabled. It’s not uncommon for people in these situations to find their access revoked in a swipe.
Let me make my point clear: the reality is, these are the folks driving the narrative in corporate media. This isn’t just about debates concerning the minimum wage, tax rates, or social issues. We’re facing mindsets that are deeply entitled and disconnected, where individuals think they have an unassailable right to jobs. Where does one even begin to have a rational conversation with someone who holds such thoughts?
Even socialists might find this hard to accept. I’ve studied the Soviet Union extensively, and at no point did anyone claim they had a guaranteed right to employment there, or anywhere else for that matter.
It’s alarming that our education system is churning out people with such misguided beliefs. The fact that prominent newspapers are inviting these mindsets into their newsrooms highlights why the corporate media is struggling and lacks meaningful reform.
