To be more accurate, I harbor a great deal of hostility and I'm choosing not to repress it any longer. The hostility in question being focused on the media. I'm admitting this upfront so no one can use my bitterness against me later. I own it already bitch!
I'm not ordinarily someone who thinks the world needs to know his opinion. I find people like that boorish and (generally speaking) of low intelligence. I personally know a blogger who is of certifiably low intellectual capacity (other then myself of course). If you don't want to take my word for it, then why are there so many morons on am radio? If that ain't proof the opinionated are idiots I don't know what is!
That said, yes I'm now an idiot blogger. Which (for the record) is better then being an idiot media a-hole, and brings me to the reason for all this.
I got banned from commenting on the Cincinnati Enquirer media blog. Which is to say I was banned by Cincinnati media a-hole John Kiesewetter. It's kind of cool and tricky the way they ban you without you actually knowing you've been banned (at least for a while), so we have to give the devil his due. Not the Ol' Kieseter (he doesn't rate devil), the person who wrote the code. But, back to rattling Kiester's cage...
I'm not trying to set myself up as some kind of expert on the subject of "media". However I do have a media education and have been working in various types of media for years. So I have earned some credibility. Whereas media a-hole (our personal code for journalist) John Kieswetter has no media education. He admits it in whole cloth. Read the blog (I'm not linking it. Go there yourself.) So it seems to me there may be a true market opening for an (at least slightly) educated media reporter.
FROM NOW ON THAT WOULD BE ME BITCHES...sorry about screaming, but you have to reach over the din.
To be fair to the Ol' Kiester, it's pretty clear I have no education in "a-hole-ism". My command of the language is colloquial at best. But my journalism skills are legion compared to his media savvy. Moreover this guy who claims to be a credible media reporter, works for a local radio station along with the newspaper, and doesn't seem to understand this constitutes a conflict of interest. This guy isn't just feigning stupidity, HE REALLY IS STUPID.
So you can plainly see, when it comes to curious and critical analysis of the media this blog is your only hope!
GOD HELP US ALL!
