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

[AirdropShitposts]

I'm sure I posted something more intelligent but the only post I remember was pointing out that Ben cried on national TV because nobody was taking his "reporting" on irrelevant online forums SERIOUSLY ENOUGH AND DOING SOMETHING.

Also something about how his "white whale" of disinformation journalism is apparently going to be a giant conspiracy theory about people who won't talk to him.

now they've doompilled and long covid'd themselves into irrelevance

Not yet, sadly. A few individuals are in the process of losing their status at the same rate as they've lost their sanity, but it's fading not fully gone. There's also always more to add to the pile. We think they're irrelevant because they are obvious lying whores, but lying whores are still in some demand and always will be.

Benny here throwing a tantrum and Taylor obsessing about covid while having their reputations degraded is a work in progress. Sad for facts, happy for people who enjoy the long, slow descent with its accompanying spergouts rather than the sudden drop into anonymity. These are people who are going to flail against their irrelevance like a fool fighting quicksand, and that should be hilarious for us.

Another thing about Ben is he's infinitely replaceable. NBC can find a million hacks willing to write whatever drivel editorial is pushing, hell at this point ChatGPT could do his job, and it would probably do it better!

What job? He hasn't written anything for them in months

I thought this was very funny though:
https://www.nbcnews.com/author/ben-collins-ncpn858396
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.

Journalists are basically parasites. They can't do their propaganda trick of completely misrepresenting what you said to them if you just don't talk to them at all. Without that attention, they die.

Just never talk to journoscum.

This might be the best thing he's ever posted and I want it framed, as big as it can be without straying into complete JPG saturation territory, on my wall. Holy fuck.

Modern journalists come from elite colleges and rich families, which is telling because their job isn’t to report the news in a factual way but to maintain the status quo for their wealthy buddies in business, finance and politics. They can all go fuck themselves for talking down to us ordinary folk like we don’t know what’s good for us.

Their literal job is to gaslight us, in the original sense of the word, i.e. to try to convince us we're crazy for believing the evidence of our senses instead of their bogus narrative.

I used to think that automation would just outright kill blue collar jobs first, but damn the AI revolution is really about to make retards like Ben obsolete. Double obsolete in his case lol

They cannot take a hint. Apparatchiks like Ben sincerely believe that their shit don't stink. The idea of the laptop caste ever being wrong is literally unthinkable to them. It shatters their minds, like making eye contact with Cthulhu.

but lying whores are still in some demand and always will be.

Unfortunately yes - as long as lemons need stealing.

The entire news industry needs a hard reset. TJD until we can figure out how to proceed.

Isn't this how journalism has been since, ever?

I'm sure there has always been honest dudes trying to get a story out but it's a needle in a haystack scenario.

Citizen journalists on social media are why corporate media is dying.

It's the one good thing that has come from the social media age and Web 2.0. Think of all the scandals and malfeasances that would've never seen the light of day had they happened back in, say, 2003.

Inability to spin-doctor and control the narrative is what makes vermin like Ben hopping MATI. And it's glorious.

 

[CervixHammer]

That's nice, Ben. Guess what I have.

(fix your shit Elon. archive 1, archive 2)

Blue collar jobs other than the absolute most mindless ones generally require doing things that actually work.

It just so happens that churning out gibberish and bullshit and low quality "art" is something even a mindless robot can do just fine.

Benny boy here isn't pounding the pavement looking for leads, either. He's just a prolific typist. That is literally all he is. Just go a couple of pages back to see him begging for Elon to reply to him. He's not some intrepid gumshoe banging down the door at Xitter HQ hounding them for answers. And in Current Year, he doesn't have to be compelling or funny or persuasive. He just has to type. And they've put ChatGPT on such a tight leash, when it comes to avoiding wrongspeak and wrongthink, that replacing him with the algorithm is a no-brainer.

Compare to Michael Moore going around literally stalking Roger Smith or ambushing Charlton Heston. Say what you like about him, he's pretty energetic, especially considering he's FAT AS FUCKING HELL.

This dude has no excuse for being a keyboard warrior. Ambush Musk at a press conference you fucking pussy.

And they've put ChatGPT on such a tight leash, when it comes to avoiding wrongspeak and wrongthink, that replacing him with the algorithm is a no-brainer.

ChatGPT is just as woke as Ben Collins and twice as smart and writes better.

It hasn’t been the same since Project Mockingbird where all media including newspapers and film were infiltrated by the Feds.

Journalism's always been a little sleazy, but it used to be a working class job. Reporters at least used to be in touch with ordinary people. I think the real beginning of the end was the Washington Post's coverage of Watergate, making it more attractive to elites who fancied themselves kingmakers.
There were some economic factors at play too. I found this interesting article on Medium (archive) about it, even if the guy who wrote it is a faggot (posting to get around accountwall):
