"Journalists thrive on sensation, not truth; when they truly understand, they stop reporting and begin the search for deeper meaning."
According to Osho, journalists don’t understand him because their profession depends on novelty and sensation, not timeless truth. Truth repeats and lacks “news value,” so they invent rumors. When a reporter truly understands, he stops reporting and joins the search; editors also filter out balanced accounts. Hence misunderstanding - and deliberate distortion - are built into their economic and institutional incentives.
Reporters want exciting new stories, but quiet old truth isn’t exciting, so they make things up—and if one understands, he stops reporting and the bosses won’t print it anyway.
