Warning Stickers For Newspapers

[BoredSysAdmin]

If newspapers came with warning labels, they might look something like the ones Tom Scott came up with. The British “geek comedian” created warning stickers you can print out and put on newspapers (PDF below). They include:

Warning: This article is basically just a press release, copied and pasted.

Warning: This article contains unsourced, unverified information from Wikipedia

Warning: To ensure future interviews with subject, important questions were not asked.

Warning: To meet a deadline, this article was plagiarised from another news source.

Too bad you can’t stick these on blogs (present one excluded, of course).

Now you even have the part number I am sure it is just a promo decal for when the reps drop by.

I blame media conglomeration for the decline in print media and journalism in general.

Right now you have two maybe three corporations that own and control the vast majority, (dare I say every) media outlet that is not some fringe rag or internet blog. (and most blogs are just astroturff)

No wonder you hear the same "story" everywhere you look.

We are being fed, lead, divided and conquered by big business all in the name of profits.
