Careercow Ben Collins / Benjamin Thomas Collins / @oneunderscore__ - Journo Scum

[DrNow]

I imagine by 'white whale stories' he means the ramblings of a mind ravaged by TDS and a seething hatred of Elon Musk. Something we could experience by just looking at the trending page on twitter.

 

[Something Awful]

AHAHAHA, Elon ignoring him buck-broke Ben to the point that he became self-aware. "I'm quitting journalism, don't know what I'll do next since I have no skills or anything else going for me."

I mean he's right, which is why he certainly won't actually quit, but it's still fucking funny.

 

[Stupid Sexy Flanders]

His tweets sound like NBC has put him in a backroom somewhere and given him the solemn, important task of picking staples off the floor.

Yup. It's curious how all these "DropKiwiFarms" people and those adjacent to it seem to get completely wrecked by life and entirely by their own doing.

Can anyone with a BlueSky account confirm that he posted this? Because that's hilarious if it's real. Definitely worth posting in the Community Happenings thread together with all Ben's recent "plz respond" tweets.

This is also funny to me:


Muh trauma... Muh twitter...

Fellow lolcow Jackie Singh cried about this as well yesterday.

 

[Johnny Salami]

Man these Elon haters almost make me want to be a fan just to gloat. Did anything even break?

Looks like the rollback broke my images, so here they are again:

 

[Pedophobe]

It is a business for nepo leeches, to be fair. I thought I was special for some reason, which, lol

Good luck walking that back once you sober up Benjamin.

"But I've been working on my white whale stories to cap it off, big questions that have gone unanswered. First one comes out tomorrow."

I was curious about this big story, so I went looking for it. Surprise, surprise... it hasn't actually come out yet. I assume it'll be about Musk since Ben has been clamoring for his attention recently.

I thought this was very funny though:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Collins_(reporter)#NBC_News

He hasn't written anything for NBC News in over two months. A simple Google search also brought up a "related question" about how Ben Collins was temporarily suspended from NBC.

In December 2022, following comments Collins made on social media that NBC says ran afoul of its social media standards, NBC temporarily suspended Collins from covering Elon Musk and Twitter.[8][9]

Steinberg, Brian (December 16, 2022). "NBC News Pulled Reporter Ben Collins Off Twitter Coverage Earlier This Month". Variety. Archived from the original on June 2, 2023. Retrieved June 25, 2023.
^ Johnson, Ted (December 16, 2022). "NBC News Pulled Reporter Earlier This Month From Elon Musk/Twitter Coverage". Deadline Hollywood. Archived from the original on June 25, 2023. Retrieved June 25, 2023.

Interesting since Ben has previously tried to play off his suspension as a "vacation". "Disinformation reporter" Ben Collins sure does love spreading disinformation.

Here's his Muckrack, btw. Definitely seems like his time at NBC is drawing to an end, and he's looking to write for other outlets.

[make_it_so]

To repeat what I said yesterday: despite the hysterics of Ben and all the other boderline Glow-Op "Disinformation" journoscum, 99% of Americans fucking hate and despise Nazis. So if your superiors are agreeing with the "Nazis" that you're an insufferable faggot, that probably means the problem is you.

 

[Roland TB-303]

It's that. It is one thing to be the target of relentless nazi hate campaigns; it's another for your employer to say "those nazi hate campaigns have a point."

Hahahaha even his employer agrees with us that he’s a dickhead

“Perception of bias” - Ms. Gilmore, on the very small chance you see this as part of your job, the man you are encouraging to not feel like an absolute failure paid the subject of his biggest story, who ended up revealing themselves as a lying drug fiend, then got everything about that story wrong, which contributed to the near destabilisation of critical Internet infrastructure, and then went into an emotional meltdown because the worlds most famous billionaire wouldn’t talk to him. The ‘perception bias’ was of an out-of-touch, entitled, dishonest, insecure and unintelligent man with terrible judgment who couldn’t be hired as a mall Santa in Harlem.

This is like if a rented chef poisoned everyone in the restaurant on the night of the dinner party and you tell him right in front of customers who are literally shitting themselves that his work is ‘necessary’ and ‘under-appreciated’.

*drunkenly texts ex girlfriend from 14 years ago about how beautiful she is and meant to be

Still not as gay a faggot as Benny boy here.

 

[AnOminous]

Hahahaha even his employer agrees with us that he’s a dickhead

Who would publicly admit in public, and in front of the public no less, that he's such an Olympic-sized douchebag that even his (((employer))) is forced to agree with Nazis about what a piece of shit he is?

Idk if you know but nazis are pretty en vogue right now. Even the kikes are worshipping Asov.

 

[NaggotFigger]

To be fair, subhuman “journalists” scums like him and Taylor should cease and desist.

I'd prefer cease to exist.

"Perceived" is another term journoswine use to gaslight you. They are trying to disqualify what you can see with your own two eyes as you just hallucinating. They see other people through the lens of "I AM SO SILLY" political cartoons, not as human beings.

Enjoy stocking shelves at Costco, Ben. Maybe call up Brandy Zadrozny and have her peg your sorrows away?

So these journalists wanted to be activists and tried to change the professional standards from the inside, failed because they were dogshit as traditional journalists and dogshit as activist journalists, and now they've doompilled and long covid'd themselves into irrelevance. That about right?

Turns out their employers were chasing money, and when the shitty activist journalism well dried up due to people being too apathetic to give a shit, they were crappy journalists to begin with and thus wouldn't have jobs. Who could have seen this coming?
