The meuporg or spleen journalism

A meu ... what? Kezako? A
meuporg dear reader!
What, you do not know what a meuporg?
So you're not familiar with the buzz of the moment !

For those who have escaped the phenomenon meuporg, I invite you to do a quick search on Google, you'll find easily what you are looking for.

I do not dwell here to tell you what a MMORPG , other blogs geeks already do very well.

At the risk of Alyosha fall upon me to arm shortened, what interests me here is that this video symbolizes. Indeed, this column represents to me the epitome of wanderings of mass journalism.

All the elements that contribute to the general public turns away from the mainstream press are gathered here:
  1. unverified sources (this does not even thirty seconds to check what a MMORPG on Google!)
  2. Information that feels like cliché bienpensant is relayed (young meuporg gorge on, understood the game is evil .. .)
  3. Finally, a column empty of its newsworthy because the reasoning behind the statement No. 2 is certainly tainted by the same lack of rigor
  4. A journalist who still hesitate not to face the opposite million viewers and to peddle a message condemning a portion of the population relying on "hearsay".
Add to that the fact William Leymergie Télématin and are notoriously known for being a sort of school television , a first step for future journalists and columnists in grass before launching into the deep end of the audiovisual, you have reason to be fully disarmed before the prospect of a mediocrity that is likely to persist.

But I respect him too much journalism and acknowledges its imperative function of guardian of democracy not to worry at such a drift.
