Kierkegaard on “Journalism”

A sardonic tone is at times a necessary defense against the “virtuous” circus of the media superstructure and its denizens. The malaise that the common folk feel is the lucid awareness that we are being suffocated under the incessant weight of critical propagation. And yet we are are not victims of some conscriptive Stockholm Syndrome because we can identify the perpetrators of our cognitive subjugation and we know that we are being intellectually colonized. Let the apparatus of fourth estate know that critical consciousness is a two-way street.

The lowest depth to which people can sink before God is defined by the word “Journalist”. If I were a father and had a daughter who was seduced, I should not despair over her; I would hope for her salvation. But if I had a son who became a journalist and continued to be one for five years, I would give him up.

– Søren Kierkegaard 

In time, G-d will fact-check all you wack media hacks.
