The Anatomy of a Media Lynch -Organizational structures over the cyber mob-

In hopes of doing good, I'm writing this article about the emergence of media/cyber lynching, especially in the tabloids and passionate parts of the Internet community that act like a mob for lynching. I see tabloid and cyber lynching as extremely aggressive, unjustified, untrue verbal attacks, insults and discrediting in the media. One good book, which is much less read than tweets today, is written: "You shall not follow a crowd to do evil. You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice." I wish to add a drop in the ocean of medicines that our sick society desperately needs so we may cure it without the accompanying evils of revolution.

Interest coalitions have always existed. Hulla Kevin? wrote about them especially well, but today, they have the technology for which Goebbels would deeply envy. Let's consider the structure of this machinery for organized media/cyber lynching through the roles played by the main actors in one of the major tragedies of modern society. Such a structure is necessary and sufficient for a lynching mob in which Le Bon's mob psychology reigns. It looks mostly like the common military line/line-staff organizational structure.

Bigshot is the first typical role at the top of this organization. Bigshot gathers an entire coalition for media lynching around some interest, often hidden, perhaps expressed in money. To achieve the goal, one should discredit the opponent to force him to make a decision or surrender; discredit someone who does good so that the Bigshot can do bad; discredit someone who does bad so that the Bigshot can do it worse and wickeder; destroy the institution/organization so someone can buy it cheaper... and so on, most of us can probably have seen and felt actions in the machiavellistic service of particular interests. That goal, formally or informally, becomes a executive order for the structure below. The more powerful the Bigshot is, lesser is the chance she/he will be observed.

The media magnate is a modern-day ?"Citizen Kane" who has control over the wheels of the propaganda machine and is ready to spin in the direction the Bigshot suggested for money or some other kind of compensation. It can be a tabloid editor, the owner of a followed blog, passionate "UberTwitterSturmFuhrer", the editor/host of a tabloid TV show. A media magnate is also some kind of Bigshot– smaller, but strong enough to sometimes independently determine the goal of a petite media lynching here and there. They are extremely capable of spreading half-truths or lies to shape public opinion attitudes in a given direction. And a lie sounds like the truth if it is marketed arrogantly enough, phrased eloquently enough, and repeated a sufficient number of times through the various " Mouths of Sauron". Media moguls are often above-average intelligent and usually completely devoid of compassion for the victims. Narcissistic traits dominate them: they want to be admired, they want to be the centre of attention, they want power, they want to thunder powerfully in an editorial meeting: "People will believe what I tell them to believe!!! ". In the electronic media, they represent a kind of "Internet Parasites " who feed on human stupidity/gullibility and abuse the beautiful possibilities of modern technology to make money, achieve a political agenda, cure their psychological frustration, or all of these somewhat combined, leaving behind more devastated and unhappy society.

A media specialist creates texts, posts, pictures, memes on a given topic. Dozens of executors may or may not exist per one media magnate. They are eloquent, capable of formulating a thought on a given topic. They are often ready to prostitute intimacy, truth, intellect, or their personality for money/attention/enough likes on a social network. If the desire for money does not drive them, dark personal traits may make them pay the attention and likes they get incorrectly and too dearly with the evil they do.

A passionate commentator is not a lacking member of a modern global society. History can teach us that there have always been enough and almost always too many. There are many, tens and hundreds of them for one media perpetrator. They shout "Boooooo" or "Yaaaaay", as required or felt. They repost, transmit gossip, comment and like articles. They amplify the signal in the resonance boxes of single-mindedness, repeating the recycled thoughts and attitudes of others; They are increasing the hate. Craving the attention of others, they compensate with gutturality and ruthlessness for what they lack in intelligence.

Advisors and support staff give strategic advice, and sometimes they provide key technical support. By providing specialist services, help or support, they lubricate the wheels of the machinery. They console themselves if the harshness of the messages bother them, that they are just doing their job in the media. The scheme of the line-staff structure can represent all this:

?

Line and line-staff types of structures are the structures of choice when the organization's task is simple, when it is important to be precise, when the task is routine, or in some cases, criminal. This structure is also found among firefighters, the army, the police, many administrative or sales services, but also sects, terrorist cells and The mafia (which has been unequivocally shown in trials for organized crime). The evil nature of the media lynching machinery requires such a structure. Not all linear structured organizations are criminal, but all criminal organizations are line structures. Such structures vary in detail from case to case but always follow the pattern drawn above. They are not always formal – often, most participants do not even know that relationships in a structure similar to this connect them.

A word and a quill can't kill very often. Fortunately, otherwise, the advent of the Internet would lead to the direct extinction of the human species. Abused quill hurts the individual and society differently and sometimes worse than the sword, and amplified through this structure, it leaves deep consequences of division, hatred and tendentious distortion of attitudes that I will write about another time.
