quote was submitted by Kenneth
George
Orwell said “The further a society drifts from truth the more it
will hate those who speak it." this is an excerpt from his book
1984. That book predicted what the future would be. Some think it was
pretty close to how we are these days. I'm not quite sure that we're
THAT far, but we're closer than we probably should be. I've said it
before, and I'll say it again! I think social media has been the root
of much of this. You never know what to believe online. Anyone with a
keyboard and an opinion can be a journalist now. I'm not saying that
you can't be. You absolutely can, but there is no regulation anymore.
Not that it was super regulated before, but there was a journalistic
integrity that was needed. If they broke that, they lost our trust.
It's happened many times. The news people let us down, but now,
anyone can be the news. Scary!
