gotcha journalism

An expression used by desperate Republicans John McCain and Sarah Palin in an effort to cover up/minimize embarrassment regarding Palin's weak and uniformed answers to simple political questions posed from the media.

Yes, it is agreed I don't much about current issues, but in this day and age of "gotcha journalism", ..is that a pizza place ?

User: "Shawn dumped me today.... I burned his pictures. I tried to get his smell off me, but it won't go away... I wonder what I'll look like if I burn to death..."

live journal

live journal (lj) โ€“ n. Free online blogging service.
analogy Live journals are like ropes. They help you climb the social ladder. However, the rope (lj) only works if you reach out (type in your password) and grab it (pick a cool color scheme, generally an unreadable one) and pull yourself up (write daily updates as to how your life is going and how stupid everything else is, then open the forum for comments). It also helps to post some hawt pictures of yourself, especially when posed with two or three members of the opposite sex.

brown journalism

1. journalism so biased, fallacious. filthy and full of shit that it makes mainstream journalism appear accurate and objective by comparison.

2. news so heavily biased and lacking in journalistic integrity that it actually makes yellow journalism seem white as snow.

3. News sources so absurdly base in their methods and so utterly lacking in basic standards of quality, accuracy, and objectivity that they somehow manage to make Fox news actually seem "fair and balanced" by comparison!

It may be true that modern journalism has become a hopeless mess of yellow journalism. But if you want to see a real cesspool, check out some of the alternative news sources. The Blaze, Prison Planet, Natural News, Mother Jones- these news outlets have gone farm beyond the territory of yellow journalism into what can only be called 'brown journalism'.

Citizen journalism

Citizen journalism, also known as collaborative media,1:61 participatory journalism,citation needed democratic journalism,2 guerrilla journalism3 or street journalism,4 is based upon public citizens "playing an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analyzing, and disseminating news and information."5 Similarly, Courtney C. Radsch defines citizen journalism "as an alternative and activist form of news gathering and reporting that functions outside mainstream media institutions, often as a response to shortcomings in the professional journalistic field, that uses similar journalistic practices but is driven by different objectives and ideals and relies on alternative sources of legitimacy than traditional or mainstream journalism".

Mainstream media is a joke! I trust citizen journalism. I mean essentially all journalism starts as citizen journalism anyway.
