The notion of “paradigm shift” according to philosopher Thomas Kuhnalso applies to other non-scientific areas of knowledge to illustrate a profound and staggering change in the model or perception of events. This may also refer to the press and the news media as watchdog of democracy and how they are being appropriated by members of the so-called fourth estate, the populist social media included.

Relative to this is the assumption that the local mainstream media have become so endemically biased and selective  as opposed to social media users — bloggers and vloggers alike — who would spare no rod in the pursuit of verifiable facts and truths for all of their followers and bashers alike.
