Not Waiting For The Asteroid

With a surprise appearance from 2008 Jordan Peterson: Why is Legacy Media Like This?

TV, Radio, Newspapers, pretty-much all legacy media institutions are complete shit. Care about your entertainment? They couldn’t care less… All news, talk shows, hell even supposed shock jocks like Howard Stern, are self righteous moralizers that can’t, or consummately refuse to, even muster the excitement of a D-Grade Baptist preacher… You go to a radio shock jock in the 2020s and you get pretty-much the same regime approved unthreatening drivel you’d get from a grade-school teacher. Remember in 2017 when they gave Bill Nye the Science guy a Netflix show, with no rules on content, where they’d talk about sex and swear and stuff… and somehow it was more moralizing, condescending, and insulting to its audience than the children’s show?

That’s all institutional media now… All of its propaganda, all of its terrible, and as for entertainment? If one of them asks “are you entertained?” its an accusation, a challenge, and you’re supposed to say no and instead be solemnly thankful that they’ve taken the time to educate you.

And of course all of its dying.

  1. The legacy media is looking like the Soviet Pravda in the 1980s: Lots of lying, but going through the motions as no one cares anymore.

    Just waiting for the Reaper at that point.

  2. ha….”Legacy Media” ’bout the only time I remember its still broadcasting is when I fly up North to work…CTV or CBC on some monitor in the Airport. I could give a flyin you know what.

    The joys of streaming…less cost, much better access and no commercials (at least with Stremio and Kodi)…best of all..? No Propaganda for the most part. I’ve not had regular TV for near 2 decades….first hacking Direct TV with P2, then Other satellite providers and now via the web…

    May they all (legacy media) – end up in Nuremberg some day

  3. Wow. Jordan Peterson was SPOT ON about the Iraq War. I wasn’t. I bought the Lie. I am ashamed to admit. Now, my views align with those of Donald Trump … not those of the Bush-endorsed Ron DeSantis

    1. Lots of us were fooled by that one. Should have known better myself. Back then I thought Forever War was a scifi novel.

  4. The boomers all got old and now old people run the world.. Of course its going to suck as much as sitting on the floor at grandmas house, watching golf..

    The kids today just don’t know any better.. Born into palliative care.. Pushing mom and dads causes?.. They have no idea what it like to drive culture..

    1. Old people are being killed off by their governments, that does not sound like we are running the world.
