Medialoid
the phenomena that is suggested to have begun in the 80s, intended to boost ratings, which has resulted in there no longer being a clear distinction between ethical journalism and tabloid sensationalism.
the medialoid attack of michael jackson rendered a guilty conviction in the court of public opinion from which he has never been fully vindicated; in spite of legal acquittal.
the medialoid agenda of news outlets is to have an “ethical” journalist, as well as a “tabloid” reporter covering a high profile case. the latter prints salacious rumors and innuendo which the former picks up and reports as fact. as attorney mark geragos has said, “that is not story telling…it’s a gang-bang.”
it is mainstream media infected by tabloid journalism. the infiltration of tabloid journalism into traditional media sources, including the proliferation of sensationalism, triviality and disregard for privacy.
