In an explosive address, Jim Vandery, Axia's CEO, took direct aim at Elon Musk, questioning the validity of Musk's view on media trust issues. Vandery argues that the erosion of trust is not merely a byproduct of social media dynamics but instead a consequence of persistent dishonesty from established media networks. By stating that individuals are fed up with being misled, he highlights a crucial issue facing journalism today: integrity and accountability.
Vandery passionately argues that genuine journalism is inherently demanding, requiring reporters to continuously strive for the truth. He stresses that real reporters undertake rigorous efforts in seeking credible information, contrasting their hard work with Musk's inadequate representation of journalism. The message is clear: authentic media practitioners are dedicated to uncovering facts, often against significant societal and political pressures, a reality he feels Musk fails to acknowledge.
The speech also touched upon the troubling trend of journalists becoming political activists, leading to a significant loss of public trust. Vandery's frustrations resonate in a time when social media plays an increasingly dominant role in shaping public perception. He criticized outlets like MSNBC for perpetuating narratives that mislead the public, arguing that this ongoing chaos only further complicates the relationship between journalism and its audience. His comments raise a critical question: Can trust in journalism be restored amid such tumult?
In a recent outburst, Jim Vandery, CEO and co-founder of Axia, criticized Elon Musk's assertions regarding media trust and its supposed decline due to his platform X (formerly Twitter). Vandery labeled Musk's comments as both audacious and delusional, arguing that the public's disillusionment with the media is rooted in consistent dishonesty from left-leaning outlets. He emphasized that being a journalist requires dedication, hard work, and a commitment to truth, contrasting this with Musk's self-portrayal as a media figure. Vandery pointed out that genuine journalism involves rigorous effort and integrity, which he believes Musk fails to comprehend. He further condemned the applause from leftist media outlets like MSNBC, suggesting they represent a 'Lunatic Asylum' in today’s media landscape, responsible for the erosion of public trust in journalism.It is SUCH hard work to turn your brain off entirely and repeat The Partys daily talking points memo verbatim. Stunning and brave.
I leaned in fifth grade journalists report on who what where when and a possible why. That is it. Editorials are about opinions. They have all become editorialists. He needs a dictionary. Poor man.
Who is this delusional liar. Jim Vanderhey, what a bullshit shoveler Reporters today suck
Wow….if yall told the TRUTH, your jobs wouldnt be so hard now would they???? Ya cant keep count of the lies and hatred spewing forth from your mouths!
😩 wah, wah, wah, such a hard job, journalism. Sitting at a computer, talking and texting all day to write compromised verse in a he said, she said gossip column that informs no one. It’s trash Axios and that’s why people listen to Elon. Just because you have a degree in journalism means nothing if you write lies and propaganda to serve a personal agenda for money! Go away permanently!
