    I realized journalism was truly dead a few years back when I noticed that most news articles online are just a bunch of Twitter posts talking about the headline. I fantasize about writing a movie where Edward R. Murrow comes back from the dead as a demon and just goes around slaughtering lazy journalists, which forces other journalists to actually do their fucking jobs.

      Make it into a comic. It could be the next “V for Vendetta” or “Akumetsu”, but for journalism.

      Combine that with the dead internet theory and you’ve got yourself a corporate owned propaganda machine on all fronts
