I remember very well the "reporting" from (a little village in Belgium) where court officials had been "digging for corpses" but didn't find ANYTHING AT ALL.
For some WEEKS in a row, so-called reporters from ALL types of media were so-called-reporting "that police have been digging, but found nothing yet"
I understand that "they are digging" can be news for one day, maybe for two. But "they didn't find anything, they continue to look in the wrong places though" cannot be NEWS for weeks.
So if there's NOTHING to report, they say SOMETHING to fill the so-called-information-stream. It's NOT information, it's just data and NOISE.
But it's noise that makes money.
Ask RIAAAA / noise made them very rich, but not everything they put on records can be called "music". Yet they complain that it can be "pirated": again they're spreading more noise than information. |
