Did a memo go out?

by Whaleoil on November 19, 2010

It started as a trickle and now it is an avalanche.

I first noticed a couple of weeks ago a few journalists, churnalists and repeaters were starting to follow me on Twitter, then a few more, then even more and some are really obscure. Sure I had a few that were already, the heavy users and the like but the ones signing up now are just flunkies really.

It’s like they have all been on a course or got a memo or something. The funny thing is they are all set up the same way…so I’m thinking a course.

That would be typical, not ones to have any original thoughts about seeing that is out there, they wait till their overlords instruct them or send them a memo or on group hug bonding tweeting course or something.

    Cam WhaleOilBefooked, you are probably not being paranoid, they probably are out to get you.

    But what are you talking about?

    Any from Paeroa.
    Where they are world famous.
    bet they have all been given ipads on the company and on a new twist on the old method of ‘interview their typewriters when too lazy to find a live person’, they have been told to generate stories based on social media or blogs.
    I suppose it beats the old page fillers on what happened in the Hutt County Council.
    On the other hand when there is a real story some of the follow up has been good , real good. The Aurora tavern demolition has still got legs and the Pike River mine story is looking good to fill many pages.
    But I wonder will the taxpayers be stung to stump up for this ‘export industry’ and to save jobs or does that only happen if the miners are 3ft tall and ugly like hobbits

    Old style media, increasingly irrelevant.

    Interesting to hear this, WO. Anyway, I agree with spiker – the so-called MSM are becoming very much irrelevant now. They have been utterly captured by the loony P.C. left. The great thing about blogs is that you have no-one leaning on you to push a particular line. No pressure to post bullshit stories about the “poor Gazans” or “poor “Palestinians” “.
    Along with the Jawa Report ( http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/ ) it’s great to be able to go to a site that exposes PC bullshit for the bullshit that it is. Dangerous bullshit too, because the Islamists know exactly how to use it to their advantage.

    Isn’t the idea to be followed more – would you rather be followed less?

    Just because they come in a group doesn’t mean anything bad, that’s actually what you expect in a viral growth pattern. You could be the next big thing!
