Shame on you, Media... people.

Shame on you, Media... people.


TRUST. It's what the media needs to gain from people in order for them to keep luring them with shit.

Until it all goes down in the drain. But then you wonder, why did it go down the drain?

Good question. It's because of these reasons!



1. Incompetence
- The inability to do something successfully, or in other words... Useless. No sugarcoat intended. But really, if you can't do your best or give your best in ANY task in the media industry, then might as well just quit your job and live under a rock.

2. Inaccuracy/ Incompleteness of work
- The quality or state of not being accurate. It's like when hearing "chismis".. you only got the part you heard but didn't even make sure if it's true or that when and how it started. Incomplete details, incomplete info.

3. Careerism
- The policy or practice of advancing one's career often at the cost of one's integrity. If given an example... There's 2 best friends. Wherever the other one goes, the other follows. They had this job. They got better the same time but then! One of them was given a chance to advance AND HE TOOK THAT CHANCE! He was like "damn, forget about you, this is my chance!" (yep, he was a douche after all.) The other guy felt left out and betrayed. That's when he started not trusting him anymore. DISTRUST~ *dun dun duuuun*

4. Sensationalism
- The use of shocking or excessive details at the expense of accuracy in order to provoke the public interest or excitement. Exaggerated in other words. They wanted to get people's attentions so bad that they added exaggerated parts to the news just to have viewers.

5. Too frequently biased
- This is when the media is only rooting for one team and not the other. In other words, One Sided. They like the first one and ignores the other.

6. Callousness
- This means being insensitive towards a person's feelings, feeling no emotion or sympathy for others.

7. Negligence
- a failure to exercise the care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in like circumstances.

8. Arrogance
- Showing an offensive attitude of superiority. MAYABANG.

9. Contempt for the public
- The state of despising, dishonoring, disgracing or disrespecting someone who is in a higher position.

10. Abuse of privilege or right
- The act of taking advantage of your position and using it into something that is not applicable to your line of work. Like if you're the EIC or something. You have people under you. You'll just order them around and if they complain you'll be like "I'm the Editor here, you do as I say!" or something like that.

11. Intense competition among practitioners
- Media practitioners often get pressured by their competition without even admitting it. Instead of showing that they are pressured, they take courage and make something better than what the other group can give. It all just circulates like that until the competition gets tougher by the second and that they will run out of ideas. That's when they'll start throwing nonsense and coating it with excessive details just so their work can look better than the other and gain more viewers.
