The liberal media has become so unhinged and irresponsible that something has to happen sooner or later.
Tv you have CNN,CBS,NBC,ABC,MSNBC who only present 1 point of view Andy actively lie about the other side. The same goes for the New York Times and Washington Post for the most part.

I'm someone who actually thinks we need a good press for the benefit of the country, but I'm not sure how we can possibly fix just how bad its become, any thoughts?

Overpasses meet rope.

Serious answer, there is no way to fix it. Media has been biased since it began with the Town Crier. There are a few principled good apples scattered across the country, maybe an individual here or there in local papers, but even then anyone who's ever been close to a noteworthy story covered by any level of journalist knows how lazy and shitty their work can be.

An honest press would be good for the country, I agree with you there, but we never will get it. People, often many journalists, complain about "institutionalized racism" but these same people fail to see how institutionalized liberalism is in these industries. Think about the organizations you mentioned, they're all headquartered in NYC except for CNN which does have a substantial presence there as well. They live and work there, they recruit workers from the same set of liberal schools they went to, it's a cycle that feeds itself. A step they could take would be to decentralize their operations and spread across the country more but the onus is on them, not us. They're the ones that have lost all credibility.

At the end of the day just accept that 99% of the time you receive information it's coming from someone with an agenda. It's information warfare and they're bludgeoning you with propaganda. The closest we're going to get to a good system is conservatives establishing their own propaganda machines and letting them duke it out in the market with consumers taking in both sources.

Keep proving them, the media, wrong. Credibility goes a long way in the believability of the media.

Presently, their credibility is lower than whale shite. People are noticing. Be patient.

You won’t. They are inbred liberals. Next topic.

You'd think this would've happened already, but they dig in more and think the other side is crazy

Don’t think it can be fixed by anything but declining revenues. People have caught on and many look elsewhere for their news. Market forces are at work and market forces always work.

They are being replaced by alternative news sources. Once the Boomers die out there will be no MSM.

Actually, they will taper off population wise because most of the men have low T levels and will not reproduce (naturally at least)

The real root of the problem is the Uber-left ideals of 99% of the higher education institutions. A complete brainwashing. Completely intolerant of conservative thought

Conservatives definitely have a voice on social media platforms

Despite people like Zuck being liberal

It's muted compared to liberals. You don't have to look very long at Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook to see that the rules aren't applied equally.

You missed my point. Boomers don't own the patent on biases in the media as the poster I responded to insinuated.

I agree. I love to blame Boomers for things, they're like, second on my list of people to shite on, but while their departure will alleviate some problems this is not one of them.

Ignoring a problem never works, the only way to defeat the leftist/progressive media is to pushback by calling them out on their BS. I'm not really a proponent of boycotting advertisers but it does have some effect against these enemies of freedom.

Why are you only concerned with correcting the biases of the liberal media?
