Journalism is seen as a shortcut to power; note all the budding journalists who announce, “I’m glad to do my part to change the world for the better.” It that sense it is a kind of priesthood: mouth the words, kiss the ring, and BOOM!, you are in.

Reprinting government press releases and corporate advertising as ‘news’ is also a space scheme for the overproduction of journalists who are incapable of writing or reasoning.
The press rewards its masters, and thus, is simply a Cathedral propaganda organ.

Many newspapers began ostensibly as party propaganda outlets. Now they’re simply clandestine about it.
