Memes make the news

Surprised to see a popular meme illustrating an article on a major news website today

It's a sign the mainstream media is continuing to become more detached from reality.  

When I was young I wanted to be a journalist and gained a qualification, but found the jobs were all in public relations.

For many years I wondered how media organisations got away with using photographs from libraries that didn't reflect their localities.

Of course, it was an economic decision based on the fact they no longer had the advertising revenue to pay the wages of photojournalists.

Given the recent examples AI-written articles, I'm expecting to see a sixth finger appear on the handshakes of politicians in coming weeks!
