Corporate Media Vs. Citizen Journalism

If Mainstream Corporate Journalists and Internet Citizen Journalists were each a collective entity, they would sound something like this:

Mainstream Corporate Journalist: I am a journalist.
Internet Citizen Journalist: I’m just trying to point out facts.

MCJ: I work for a corporation.
ICJ: I work for myself.

MCJ: If I don’t earn a profit for my employers, I will be fired and have to get a real job.
ICJ: I already have a real job and will likely never make a penny for my efforts.

MCJ: My money comes from corporate sponsors that include the pharmaceutical industry, the fossil fuel industry, and even military contractors.
ICJ: If I am lucky and do my job well, I will have supporters that throw a few bucks at me on Patreon.

MCJ: The more I speak for the powerful, the more successful I will be.
ICJ: The more I speak truth to power, the more successful I will be.

MCJ: I supported the Iraq War.
ICJ: I opposed the Iraq War.

MCJ I got up on television and said you were basically a traitor to your country if you opposed the Iraq War.(Joe Scarborough)
ICJ: Nevertheless, I went out on a street corner holding a sign opposing the Iraq war while rednecks in a pickup truck with a huge American flag swore at us and threatened us with violence.
