In some areas of Journalism, it's suggested that the trade of reporting is dying and recent swathes of lay-offs
in many media outlets seems to confirm this. More and more, a once noble skill has given way to what many
senior Journalists deem a less qualified section of people who endeavour to offer public information.
How can it be...? Trust in the fourth estate has been lost somehow and some submit that poorly-sourced internet
-linked discourse has become the norm and along with it, a particular type of leaning.
Namely, anti-establishment.
It's a sad day for sure, when traditional mediums are looked on with suspicious eyes and their articles doubted
due to their composition. 'Click-bait' is everywhere, with headlines implying some terrible ordeal or magnificent
acheivement and it's only when the full article is perused, the real message of what a Journalist was attempting
to purvey, is shown in it's entirety.
We've been lured away from the once-standard use of reporting because of the need for advertising revenue with
outlandish headlines and stories that struggle to live-up to appealing title. Day-to-day reality is being transformed
into instances of outrage and abnormal events.
Growing up in such a false environment leaves open the door for the young to accept that a slight of one's feelings
equates to what soldiers endured during World War II. Not all fall for it, but many see their day-to-day lives as a
melodramtic guantlet of horror and sometimes, see suicide as the only way forward.
The more rational of the public realise that the mainstream media write guileful prose in hope of creating a story
out of nothing in hopes of paying the bills. Which in itself, is a reality.
This example below comes from some schools in the UK closing to the majority of pupils for a mid-term break.
At least, that's what it's suppose to imply.
The reality is that half-term for this particular Welsh school -and many other schools around the UK is that half-term
ended at the beginning of June. Of course, the reason for the comment 'part of some end of school high jinx' is not
explained and leaves a false impression.
An impression that if discovered to be untrue, lends more weight to why many are turning away from the conventional
forms of news gathering. Builth Wells High School has no official breaks for it's pupils from 1st June until 18th July.
This incident occurred on Wednesday 13th June 2018, but appeared on the website reporting it on Friday 15th.
Boring information...? Yep, and has no 'oooph'... no nerve-tingling, teeth-grinding texture to draw the reader's eyes
and thoughts to what could be happening to a society they abide in. But it is information and it has substance.
And this shows how far we've come. Journalism has morphed from being a conduit of reliable infromation to assist
and serve, into a entertainment passel where commentary stands higher than fact. The media feel that instead of
relating news, they will enhance small accounts and incidents, project an impression that has no bearing on what
actually happened.
Technically, it's not 'Fake News', but it does take liberties with the reader. With the use of of wording like '...after the
release of what police described as a discharge of a noxious substance...' it promotes a simple prank of a school
child into a more serious-reading incident.
''Local reports describe it as a stink bomb" and there it is. Would such an incident be important that a national news outlet
be required to report this or is it only relevant to a local community where the temporary effects would only be consequential?
In Journalist circles, its called 'a filler', a piece that's dressed-up to make it something it really isn't.
Evidence of this is when the Reporter states "...Dyfed-Powys Police were treating the incident as ‘isolated’
and said it was not believed to be terrorist-related..."

The world is big and many things happen in it everyday. It's just a sad state of affairs when Journalism has to maintain a
narrative that terrible and frightening things await everyone around every corner.
It could be that the true fear lies within those same Journalist circles that social media and those who took the red pill are
becoming the threat and not some kid with a with stink bomb.

Quote:Boy arrested for letting off stink bomb in school closing it for two days
'A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after he allegedly set off a stink bomb in school, closing the building for two days.
Around 500 children had to be evacuated from the school after the release of what police described as a discharge
of a noxious substance. Local reports describe it as a stink bomb...'
