The Future Of Financial Media?
One of the direct consequences of the "end of stocks" meme, and the end of retail's endless honeymoon fascination with equities, because this time may well be different now that central planning is also not only different, but here to stay indefinitely, is the slow burn of all financial media as less and less express an actual interest in anything finance related. Sure enough, as reported several weeks ago, the German edition of the venerable Financial Times is the first to go. Below is the self-explanatory front page of its final edition. Coming soon to most other financial publications near you.
The paradox, of course, is that these very publications defend the same central planning that is making them all obsolete...

Oh shit - Joe Kernen
Of all the cnbc minions, he is the most obvious with a 100% agenda. "How can I benefitt while the elderly and naive sink into the abyss of their "objective reporting."
How do these fucking people sleep at night?
Ambien.
Yeah ~ start folding 'em all up... After all ~ in the end it's much better to get all your bullshit news from one source than it is to get bullshit news from many sources... That's part of your 'training'...
Still waiting for The Economist, the worst compendium of pap, to disappear.
Eindlich Schwarz died?
A full bore propaganda mechanism for the NWO (seriously) executed upon a highly professional plane, fraught with lies deceit half truths and downright manipulation of the reader/online comment section.
forgive me but for a moment i believed you were speaking to the dying magazine instead of this place here
you know you do seem less wierd the more i read of yours
They're loyal, they're poppy-lar, they're useful (served the purpose)...
And they're made obsolete.
WhoTF we are talkin about, muppets?
who?
anyone who reads this will find them in the mirror
future of financial media will be in Chinese
You need money to have media cater you.

You may get your wish, Rainman. They are going to switch to a paywall model soon - which is usually the mark of desperation. It won't end well.
And the NY (Sl)imes.
sure maybe the inet is taking over print...
if you ask me the stupification is almost complete as the disproportionate distribution of reverting to the mean has the necessary NaggerSlaves controled by OZ and the project of bring the new religon of indentured servitude through stolkholm syndrome will be fulfilled folks like Tyler 'SPINLESS' Durden with his heroic acts of expose' behind the curtain of anonimity while he helps direct the bots of the new syndrome
we all are dumbmutherfukinnaggerslaves until we are not
Right On. The Economist has to be the most pretentious, patronising pap on the planet. Always left me feeling queasy.... uughh
Much easier to "control" and "central plan" via one or two news outlets ---- the criminal central planners reward those who promote their propaganda, starve those who do not.
All by design, Totalitarianism don't need no Financial Times to stir up dem' workers.
at least you know where the guy stands-he's not some kind of which-way-is-the-wind-blowing morphing blob.
Agreed. He's just some kind of mindless MSM blob hopelessly stuck in his own cognitive mud.
<Take the toupee off Joe and let the reactor warm up before restarting.>
Joe is one of those people who feels lucky to be allowed to lick the boots of the masters. They keep him fed and wearing shoes ... otherwise he might be living in an alley and dumpster diving.
You nailed it----Joe Kernan is a big time kiss ass, boot licking media presstitute who belives that his "controllers" are god----JOE KERNAN is a poster boy for much of what is wrong with the media and as an extension our society----people willing to give up liberty for security.
And we follow a character who has no face, influences algo bots, named himself after the prettiest actor ever (who played a death desiring psycho) and who is becoming more and more tragically hip through anonmyous delivery of earth shattering information?

I don't know, but think it's neck to neck between Kernan & Kudlow. Sickening.
Joe will be fine. He has been auditioning for Fox News for years. They took Dennis Kneale, so they'll take anybody...
I am hoping that Forbes is next.
FT's a good start, then maybe the bagman's journal, and of course all the puppet ponzi media like reuters, ap, cnbs, etal.
Got to work with the 4 brothers in the 90's, totally disfunctional crew, but Cap Weinberger when he was chairman was a pleasure and privilege to be associated with, an incredibly sharp brain and memory at 80+ who opened all the doors here in Asia.
Don´t think it´s about financial media per se but about print media. Remember that fad "internet"?
Excellent point. Most people fail to realize the internet, in this context, has a historical analogue; the printing press. The internet, like the printing press, drastically reduced the costs of publishing ideas and information ... and society is greatly influenced by ideas.

Kaput!
Couldn't happen soon enough: good riddance to the spinmasters of MSM finance and welcome to the rise of truthy, snarky blogs that get it right by actually digging into the data.
Thanks ZH!
"welcome to the rise of truthy, snarky blogs that get it right by actually digging into the data."
but .. and this is serious .. how do you monetize the snarky blogs?
if ad-supported revenue is the primary monetization vehicle, how will zh attract the advertisers with deep pockets?
hey look: an ad for the dodge ram outdoorsman is on the right-hand side; the ad copy says "take your best ally hunting".
for the cheney demographic on zh
Have you seen the demographic of the typical ZH reader? I think they will be fine as long as BS is not called too often. ZH is selling truth and has my benefit of the doubt right now. If they decide to sell "benefit of the doubt" out, like stop telling the truth, I will stop reading ZH. It is pretty simple. Honest companies will want to reach us. Chase still runs ads here which I find hilarious and so did Barry.
ZH sells truth? Really?
i thought it was here to see how to revert to the mean and take advantage of what Jefferson feared in the central planners acquiring everything through inflation then deflation - truth is for the eye of the beholder - everyone here wants more than the next guy while doing less. that is the truth cause if folks wanted the truth they would at least have a 'real' not so pretty face of a puny character who beats up anyone (disney for guys who think they are men?)
I have found that I only get more than the next guy while doing more.
This is one of the few places I can see BS called when it is not the truth or just plain propaganda. Just wondering, you are talking about www.zerohedge.com and not some other ZH.
Any regular ZH reader will start with nothing is perfect and think for yourself. If you have a better place to keep up on the news, please do tell. We do actually look at links people provide, read the reports, and call people out when someone has not read the report and decides to make stupid comment.
Last, how many times have you seen this one here: conspiracy theory turned to fact, and it was reported here 2, 3 years ago?
fucking great!
One less fucking shill rag piece of shit for algos to latch onto. fuck off MSM!

To the bottom of the pond... and Beyond!!!
All I want for Christmas is for CNBC to be next...
+1 You beat me to it. but I think the propoganda machine will want to keep them alive pumping until the end.
That would be sweet....
yeah, but unfortunately CONcast will keep that fucking piece of shit floating till the bitter end.
CNBS is the Herman Goebbels of finance and political TV. Fucking dickheads.
If CNBC went BK, what would we make fun of?
Krugman
i guess cnbc will be last castle to fall within the financial media. but it will, eventually.
Yea, when cnbc goes, that's the signal to short everything, your last chance to buy PM and bread, to get the spouse and kids in the car and run for the hills.
You know that old saying "if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it"? What difference does CNBC make if almost no one watches it any more? Kind of like CNN. Their bias and constant avoidance of the "real" stories going on in this world used to really bother me, then I realized that the only people who watch CNN are those poor saps waiting in the airport (At Seatac they pump CNN constantly through hundreds of TV monitors spread everywhere through the airport. It's truly Orwellian-inspired because it's hard to escape it).
You meant MSNBC... there, I fixed your post.
Obviously the "free market for ideas" has never been lower...but this is true throughout the entire media complex. I still get my Motorcycle Consumer News...which is an awesome magazine that gives practical info on bikes. Wish there was one for cars actually. What passes for print media these days really is a joke. Everything is "self censored"...the irony being we've never had more info on everyone than we do now.
Now what are we going to use for toilet paper after the collapse! It was bad enough they used all those glossy ad pages!
I'm sure there will be plenty of FRNs lying around.
Poor people.

ZH FiSHeS
Exactly. There has been no paper in Germany that supported mainstream views, the status quo, money printing and fiscal stimulus the way the FTD did. Their vulgaro Keynesianism was sometimes even worse than Paul Krugman's. There could have been no better "newspaper" to be dropped than this one. Great news!
FINAL TIMES
BEST COVER EVER!!!
Yes, its the 'final times, the 'ends of days' infering that they think without their jounalistic wisdom the economy will crash.
Do you know why printed publications are going down? It's govt/central bank conspiracy because they need all the paper stock to print money.
They really needed the money?
It's sweet poetic justice, just like for CNBC.
Print media is going the way of Circuit City and Best Buy. We don't need them and our younger generations do not even know how to subscribe to a newspaper or magazine. My wife was big on the Reno paper. I had to drive 2 miles to the paper box to pick it up for her most days. After much prodding, she agreed to try the "online edition". That was 2 years ago. Still using it.
I subscribed to the print edition of Sundays only for the NYTimes. Did like it when I was a kid. 50% off for 26 weeks. Never had a sale that good.
Evening news has less patients, er, viewers, every month. Once in a while I turn it on, the news is like, 8 to 24 hours old. And they pay these guys 10 to 14 milliion a year. what a waste.
Tyler, any late cnbc ratings available? I cannot believe they are improving. And agree, cartoons would be more enlightning then those paid to say dummies on the idiot channel.
Our paper, the Seattle Times, got worse and worse in that it got thinner and thinner and presented less real news. For awhile, I justified keeping it for the Sunday coupons in that the paper might almost pay for itself. But it got too lame even for that, so I canceled.
"what goes around comes around"
Karma is a bitch
i still remember in the mid 80's when CNBC was a consumer affairs channel giving advice on how to find the best bargains & how not to get ripped off by businesses. my fondest wish is to see a reality show with MARIA learning how to shop bargains at the GOODWILL THRIFT STORE.
I was thinking of her turning tricks on skid row to keep that sizable honker powdered, but yeah.
a better reality show would be Maria doing MILF porn for meth money.
central banking is dying, so are its tentacles.
Seems to be more prevalent than ever before.
Why would anybody in their right minds pay to read/hear any more suppine cheerleading of well established companies, central banks and politicians!?
The mainstream media will only survive against the Net based blogs and forums if they do Investigative Journalism: dig the dirt out on corporates, central banks and politicans; trawl through contracts, regulations, associations between lobbyist and politicans and connect the disparate threads of information in to a coherent exposee; name names, find out the people behind the decisions, track them through their several positions of responsability, look at the long term results of their past decisions.
So company X has once again published results were they beat expectations: dig it all out - show they've been using accounting tricks to smoothen profits, show they have a history of doing so, dig down to find how they did it, find out who the main decision makers are and look at their past records of accounting manipulation, look at the forecasts and track the relations between the analysts/forecasters and the company, look back to see if analysts that favored that company in the past ended-up with cushy jobs at the company or if the companies they worked for got nice deals: this is the real news, not the usual cheerleading bullshit about them beating expectations!
The really hard bit, the one the vast majority of the Net based information providers rarelly can do (ZH is a bit of an exception, but even ZH has very little in the way of investigative resources) is the hard digging for difficult to find information and the connecting the threads to form a real picture of the real performance of CxOs, central bankers and politicians, of their associations and of their conflits of interest. This is what Newspapers, Magazines and TV Stations should be doing.
Instead, what we get on air and in print is an endless stream of public butt licking, self-congratulatory mastubation exercises and outright attempts at public opinion manipulation through biased pseudo-research. Unsurprisingly, confidence in the press is low and getting lower, with the result that people aren't paying for it anymore.

Mainstream media and investigative journalism? Hah, that's a good one. The problem that idea is that the large corporations own the very same MSM that you think should investigate the large corporations. The MSM exists solely to further the ambitions and agendas of the oligarchs who own the MSM. The reason that the only investigative journalism happens in the blogosphere is because they are not controlled by the oligarchs.
Amen.
The really hard bit, ...is the hard digging for difficult to find information...
I can't help but see our current secretary of state relishing in her new found access to fbi information when she moved into the WH w/ her boy. The fly on the wall watching her plough through the material must've thought the place was heaven with the feces being released. Too bad she was never able to recall the event herself.
Comedy Central is a better source for news.
Cry me a river!
Make sure you do not buy the final issue. It may give them second ideas...
Good riddence to them, as Tyler infers, i don't know why they are moping, they got exactly what they wanted!
I buy a newspaper every spring and fall.
Vinegar, water and a newspaper for washing windows.
Hardbound books will never die. You just can't stretch out by the fire and get cozy with a notebook.

Man muß noch Chaos in sich haben, um einen tanzenden Stern gebären zu können.
The shift is on to move publications to an electronic format--it's not only cost-effective but, it makes it easier for the state to control.
Paradox?
Thought that was irony.

Anytime a propaganda rag goes out of business, there's nothing but good to come out of it.
The FTD staff formally apologize to the shareholders for wasting all that money on journalism, to the investors for being so critical towards the Euro project, to the corporate spokespeople for not always following their instructions, to the politicians for not believing everything they say, to colleagues for all the nights and weekends we have been working together, and to the readers for now being the last line of the Financial Times Deutschland. “We are sorry. We apologize unconditionally. But: If we are ever allowed to start all over again, we would do exactly the same."

Financial Times Deutschland: Death by PRas the guy with a khazarian tick for Venice's elusive black nobility says; you fall on your sword when you mistake a frigid market for a free-for-all damsel in joyful distress...
its a shame like the dame who got hoaxed for nursing Kate's middle-tummy blossom pangs.
It ends in pain where rigid, rigor mortis of dame nurse could symbolise as premonition those similar of hoaxy-coaxy CB Oligarchy wet-nursing plays, an avant-gout of petrified forests status of once over-fluid markets; we have nothing more to say on finance, that dances in the wind of fiat profusion; except "turn that hell-i-copter off Ben! Before we all freeze over in deep hyperinflation cum deep depression type hell; shades of Weimar hot frankfurter days."
Media and mad dogs of Madison avenue will have petrified, midget budgets as small consolation. AU...sterity pains, solace for the unconditional gold bugs.
That should tickle the mindset of ZH liberty-torah head-wobblers congregated like a family in lamentation in front of WS's demoncracy wall of imminent fall.
The price of liberty for some, who think they are not numb, nor dumb; but could be fooled by their own tom-thumbish drum beating bum-ishness; is in poetic alliteration.
Could have fooled me when I'm drunk; not when I sober; like now!
Sober? Could 've fooled me...
let me give u a clue :
"What u see now has already been, what you will see is not yet there..."
Its a paradox, and the guy who said it is famous for fooling the world. 'His smile' earned him eternal fame.
Good fucking riddance
One down, hopefully many more to follow :)
