re: Study: US mainstream media is today considered more biased Pravda, China News

What bothers me isn't bias. I love The Intercept despite me not being far-left. Our news isn't news. It's punditry disguised as fact with zero substance. Instead of discussing the substantive points of reforming FISA, our media is obsessed over the closed door statements of our President. Why isn't our media asking tough questions about our continued presence in the Middle East now almost two decades after 9/11? Why doesn't our media press politicians about the $20 trillion debt and how we aim to pay it down? The fact is, even more so than many state-run news outlets worldwide, our media is simply a mouthpiece for those in power.
