I've never, ever, seen this degree of corruption and bias across nearly all outlets of mainstream media.
quote:Wrong. The op clearly stated mainstream media. Since they parrot the same talking points, the singular form of the word "media" is correct.
"Media are" The word is plural

"Media are"
The word is plural, where the singular version is "medium."

What a dipshit - I consider myself a grammarian of the highest order and strive mightily to deserve that description even on a college sports message board.
I have never, ever, commented on some trivial, unambiguous, technical grammatical 'error' on here - and never intend to. Some of the grammar disappoints me, but these are not notes submitted for review.
To say "The media is - - - - " is not in fact incorrect when you take into account the CONTEXT of the statement. The statement should be read as:
The media - as a collective description of the various broadcast and print outlets purporting to be conveyors of the important news of the day - IS broken.
This is the same context as in the statement = "The USA is the world's greatest superpower."
But carry on with your hobby. Whatever floats your boat.

Despite being a douche, you are correct. Well that is if you lived 100 years ago.
Today when used to the entirety of broadcast, print, etc, it is used as a collective noun.
English, just like other living languages evolve.
