so the 4th Estate no longer gets the Roger Corbett Fairfux[sic] (WoolworthsCEO/Fairfaxdirector/WalmartUSAdirector) riversofgold, nor is it actually subjected to that Waleed Aly Walkley speech of reader driven amplification from French media philosopher academic, it merely completed the inversion of the editor-readerasconsumer hierarchy using the algorithm and the quants in the executive suites dictate strategy, of atomised unique* cells that the economic market will hoover up and sell us back to us (like the Milgram Yale experiment) with our personality biases when they have the data and a sophisticated algorithm. And accelerated the loss in standards. This was well pre-Trump, they have been establishment for the longest time, they support Vietnam and the Hill, as I have stated before Thiel spoked about in some lectures that a colleague of his who went off to a conservative rival to New Yorker and Atlantic, a political monthly, not the Weekly Standard, it may have been American Independant, he spoke of his mate getting a gig in the first term of Clinton and the subscriber base enjoying the anti-Clinton bile, and gaining more subscriptions, and this was a circular feedback loop dynamic, and they wrote more Clinton screed. I have come to the opinion that this is probably more non-likely than likely, that this occured, and Thiel was confecting the apocryphal anecdote to explicate his point on Trump and the way the papers-of-record leading the charge to be the opposition from outside the government. * As Peter Bannon and Andrew Breitbart correctly predicted and harnessed this conceit as a building block within their media strategy for Trump with the appreciation as the traditional 4thEstate as the opposition, as the enemy. And has Trump played this putatively intellgent and educated class back to them...
* in Thiel's position, he and a colleague at Stanford formed the conservative campus newspaper, so he would have come into contact with future logcabin journalists. And, he may merely have exaggerated elements for the purposes in its exposition.

Waleed and the philosopher from French academe had it part-correct in the Australian context, the existing 4th Estate have used controversy and scandal for the purposes of amplification, they have channeled zeitgeist mores and trends, publishing fads to rent social harmony.

A fourth factor is the economic decline of traditional journalism as a whole, which has affected the way newsrooms now are run and staffed.
As recently as the late 1990s, which is when I began my career in journalism, media organizations were able to insulate themselves against social panics and fads through the employment of a large corps of experienced, risk-averse, highly professional desk editors and middle managers. They supplied a sort of ideological ballast, so that a small number of activist journalists within the organization couldn’t exert veto power on controversial issues. Over the last 20 years, that entire stratum of professionals has been packaged out, and the editorial staffing in these organizations generally consists of just two groups: (a) a small corps of managing journalists in their 50s and 60s who are desperately trying to make it to retirement; and (b) a larger corps of poorly paid 20-somethings. Because members of this latter high-turnover group (rightly) feel have little expectation of long-term employment, their primary ideological loyalties are to social media, not to their nominal bosses.
