10.3.15



USA TODAY beat him to the punch: All the news you need to know
                                                                                                             but he credited
himself with throwing in the lacking parenthetical: News  according to a micro-processed machine
bit-and-byted empowered and fed with long chains of algorythmically reasoned and blued commands
the Mammys and Pappys to rock n rolled Info


apparently new software programmes  spoonfed stats elements and ingredients  are writing the daily copy
the Word   as revered by the Religious 
                                                                Plop plop Fizz fizz  Oh what a relief it is
not to do shit
take credit for your shitlessness


it reminded him of those corporate mid-level wannabes gnawing on the bones those Overhead cast down to them
for nourishment to wield the axes and hew the workforce to their incentivized singsong motto: Do more with less
and once the heads rolled
                                           they were remarkably disturbed  outraged  then apoplectic that they had exhausted
the necessity of their positions

and in turn were axed


really 
           they really didnt see that coming

so filled with the Kool-Aid 
he supposed


the New York Times article he read revealed the mantra the liberation theme: “Robo-journalism will free
humans to do more reporting and less data processing.” 

how free does someone really have to be? and free to do what?
 
it estimated 90% of News might be algorythmically generated by the mid-2020s

unfortunate to cite 20/20
he thought
                   unless John Q. Public John Doe and the Silent Majority were done reading

because when youre done reading
Youre Done


yet  despite the article
its audaciousness
its inculcated new spin on copywriters
Harry Crews reminding him recently of Tom Wolfes “We are the sum of all our moments”
and thereby firing his attendant thought  or realisation  well have more and more moments amounting to zero  nada

well be less for it

he brusquely turned his attention back to his blog and thought  Let some fuckin machine try to imitate my reasoning
and wrioting

They could hide
but
hed find them
and then

Well


they couldnt run

their Imitation would end there
