I have just learned it and wanted to share it with other members and with guests.

You all know that the Internet has destroyed many American newspapers (printed on PAPER) by taking away almost all classified advertising.

A few American newspapers continue to be comprehensive sources, but most American newspapers have closed down or have become a shadow of their former selves: They have cut down the number of pages, print mostly handouts from the government, corporations, and activists. They have fired so many reporters that there is very little if any investigative reporting. If you want supermarket ads, fine. But don't expect much local, state, national, and foreign news.


Well, one Ken Doctor at Harvard has come up with this neat abbreviation: NINO: Newspaper in name only.



*****


I googled for its pronunciation but could not find a source. I came across the more popular abbreviation RINO ("Republican in name only"), so if push comes to shove, I have decided to rhyme "NINO" with "RINO."
 
Good to know!
 
Neither the mainstream TV news media or the print media are truthful or credible. There are few, if any legit "journalists" left in the western world. The western media have become very similar to the Chinese state run media, in that they both serve their political and ideological masters, NOT the public! The only difference is that the western media also serve their greedy, multinational corporate oligarchs. The only way we can rebuild a legitimate news media, is to get rid of ALL the corrupt, hyper-partisan anchors and reporters. But even before that, we MUST purge the journalism schools of Marxist/socialist advocate journalism professors. They play a major role in turning potential journalists into partisan advocates! Those insidiously manipulative cultural Marxist ideologues need to be fired!

An honest, nonpartisan press is crucial for any democracy, but we DO NOT have an honest, unbiased press! They are the ones who are doing the most to separate, subvert and destroy the western world, in hopes of rebuilding the resulting wreck into a one-world socialist utopia. But all this dangerous social engineering is being carried out without the knowledge or support of the very voters who they are deceiving every day... Good riddance!
