  • Call for information: Rogue media activist

    In a stunning exclusive for Conservative News Site, a rogue media activist believed to have infiltrated Parliamentary realms has now been spotted in Reading, Berkshire.

    A suspect
    A suspect in rogue media activism alleged of harming the lives and careers of working professionals in the UK at large.

    He’s believed to have access to secreted and secretive systems that are kept – not ‘stored’ – in London and uses these to harass people.

    It results in huge interruptions to people’s working patterns, leading to economic losses across the Political spectrum for all party’s.

    Any information relating to this individual must be passed to a relevant public body. It will be used to build an accurate case, if one exists.

  • Found: “BBC” hiring criminal

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, a criminal alleged to be used by “BBC” executives to replace hires made by “BBC” teams has now been spotted. He’s alleged to run ‘hit squads’ that make threats to any staff that try to correct the mistake, or situation.

    A suspect alleged of serious crimes seen here in Reading, Berkshire.

    The conduct of senior “BBC” staff has been the subject of intense scrutiny by London-based investigators for many years. It’s because of hiring practices considered “strange” by top experts. It’s also due to suspicious payments and other irregularities.

  • Caught: Media antagonist

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, a media antagonist alleged to “Filibuster” issues and stories for mainstream news broadcasters in an attempt to re-focus on public figures has now been spotted in Reading, Berkshire.

    A suspect alleged of malicious interference seen here in The Oracle, in Reading, Berkshire.

    She’s alleged to have a network of thousands of contacts in media production circles. These act on her behalf to produce fake “Threads” of news to push fake narratives and continue false lines of argument. Her intent is to criminally harass.

  • Does Putin understand the free world? Probably not

    The world Putin lives in is largely of his own making. He doesn’t get disagreement like we do.

    He doesn’t see dissent like we see it everyday. His is a perfectly ordered system of economics and policy airbrushed for the Russian people.

    His recent statements, then, that gave rise to the idea of problems of censorship in the West are laughable in comparison.

    He doesn’t note that we draw a line at content that’s not wanted for obvious, moral reasons.

    He doesn’t recognise that Russian media aims to undermine if not destroy our own.

    He doesn’t highlight his own approach to foreign affairs or international relations and how it stifles free speech.

    This is the perfect art of a leader unencumbered by democracy or the forces of reason or change. We benefit, while the Russian people and its state suffer in silent rancour and undeterred pessimism.

  • GB News keeps brand alive – and strong

    GB News, a Paddington-based outlet providing British news for British viewers – has seen its share of the market increase. While its founding was marked by technical hiccups and showdowns with regulators, the future looks brighter.

    According to Press Gazette, its April scorecard shows an audience of 10.5 million, a reach of 20% of the market. Its growth is 37.8% year-on-year, which is a sizeable slice for one of the newest kids on the block.

  • Revealed: The anti-tech cartel in UK media

    The invention of Twitter was a defining moment in the history of the Web. It’s because of copycats – and a few innovations – that’ve reshaped how most of us spend our lives online.

    Now, it’s a massive business. Before, it was just a fledgling chick. It’s the story of how Jack Dorsey took a simple idea and with it transformed our understanding of things just by doing it.

    Troubled waters

    The trouble starts with a good idea, and miscreants are always just behind you . It happened with Dorsey, who was beset by criminal characters in the UK from the start. It even reached his friends.

    There was a spate of false stories ‘planted’ in UK media outlets everywhere. This was supposed to “flood the system” with misinformation, or false messaging, to “corner” him.

    There was an influx of workers into key media roles. It’s how the effort ramped up. The plan was to “stay, and sound, friendly”, but at arms length. The plan was to undermine all of it.

    Corporate subterfuge

    This intent turned into a serious type of business crime. A few engineers spoke out in confidence about personal approaches. They also received threats to hinder their working practices.

    A source once said to me, “At the level they play at, it’s only about malicious communications”. The effects of it – and its benefits – are not easy to predetermine. It can affect anything, like politics to teaching in schools.

    A Police officer stated that it’s a sort of “cash crime”, meaning it helps anyone to profit. This spreads superficial, nefarious actors throughout our state. It makes our times tough.

  • Long Report: What is journalism?

    Citizen journalism is a relatively new term but it’s already died a death in the UK. It just doesn’t ring true we know how to do it without training or a proper education. It doesn’t follow in the line of casual arts. The truth is hard to grasp, and even harder to get out there.

    It’s a lifestyle experienced by the religious, and increasingly politicians. The point is also proved in journalism itself where facts go nowhere. The practice of typing out a response or tapping out an ‘original’ story is the privilege of those released to do it.

    It’s a practice that’s got to be professional. In the UK we don’t value this often enough. In fact, festering WhatsApp groups and pulp-ridden Facebook pages pollute our screens as we search or scroll for something better. We don’t need the junk anymore.

    A newer way

    The innovations are happening at a pace but it’s rarely noticed. The changes in our landscape are huge and have not caused an earthquake in public opinion. They should because we’ve moved on hugely since the past, when news was fact and not a truth.

    There are able pundits attempting to navigate the broken courses of Parliament or break the solid ice of Whitehall. They do a good job and people know more. Yet more know less because they opt for unofficial views of rumour mongers and amateur jingoists.

    The general feeling is we haven’t turned a corner in the 21st century because we’ve failed to take our eyes off the past. It’s bleak back there, and irrelevant. There’s so much that’s new – and exciting – today there’s no point in re-reading old lines and repeating old statements.

    Realities

    The MP’s making waves are different people. They have different backgrounds, and stories. They come from the same places but a lot’s happened since. They’re as familiar as you and I, but a changing landscape demands moving on.

    The news journalism culture we’ve got hasn’t necessarily all moved at the same pace. The newer outlets are juggernauts. They appeal distinctively and repeat stories that matter. Their views don’t always hold water but they make amends where told to.

    It’s a new media for a new generation. It anchors what we say to each other in private with a dose of reality. It’s not all there is to say but it’s a start and, of course, we’re able to finish off the conversation. There’s no shortage of opinions at home, or elsewhere.

  • Journalism in focus: Assange’s trial

    The case of Julian Assange that passed out of the UK’s legal system earlier this year in June is a textbook instance of Government mishandling and a lack of journalistic integrity here.

    In some ways all of us have something to regret. In looking at the ordeal Assange went through, from his refuge in an embassy to his arrest and imprisonment in London, we have to reflect.

    His release is beside the point. A lack of pace and appropriate working habits is clear. Our way of progress is stagnant and we are impoverished of talent. It’s only fortunate it no longer needs to be proved.
