I've tried so many times to get my mom to turn off the TV, she's in her 70s and all it does is make her worried and anxious...it's awful.
MSM are nothing but pushers exploiting the human addictions, either the feels of the "human interest" story or the adrenaline of the fear porn they produce.

To give liberal soyboys a false sense of security
what about the folks clinging to their god and guns?
My parents are glued to fox news and it definitely gives them a false sense of security. MSM isn't out there to give you facts. they all spin a narrative that will keep their viewers watching. Left wing/right wing have different interpretations of the facts and usually both sides are wrong or deliberately misrepresenting.

I always chuckle at headlines that deliberately mislead.
Such as the time the WP titled a ISIS leader's killing as "Austere Religious Scholar dies"

To be a watch dog. They are needed........
While some are based on exaggeration, there are those that keep the powerful somewhat honest.
The Trump effect is not healthy in that regard.

Do tell
The original concept of the media and what it should be is to simply share the latest factual news with the public.
What the media has involved into is an outlet for liberal progressive social and political indoctrination. Nearly every aspect of media is now dominated by left wing thought: news media, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, etc. newspapers, NYT, LA Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, etc., nearly all of Hollywood, education, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, all the West coast universities, etc. all of the major tech companies, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Honestly if you consider the domination by the liberal media and corporations, it's a minor miracle that a Republican could win any election.

The mainstream media is simply the Paul Joseph Goebbels Memorial Propaganda Wing of the DNC.
That's it. That's all they have become.
