Well I find both the government controlling what people think and the media controlling what people think to be unacceptable
People don't want to be told what to think by the press any more than they want to be told what to think by the government.
The press has wandered from its mission to inform into one that tells people what to believe. That's a huge switch.
The press traditionally held the job for keeping government accountable-by reporting fact-and letting the reader decide.
Donald Trump, and the government, haven't magically become "believeable" because they are trustworthy and credible They aren't. But neither is the "media".
Both are advocating strong to influence what we think. And worse sometimes the press is outright advocating for the government's positions (when democrats are in power).
If the media wants credibility--they need to return to fame actual reporting. Not pedealing influence for the democrat party.

Exactly. 
Here's a novel fricking idea.
How about the press do investigative journalism regardless of which party is in power. Then present us with the actual facts, not opinions, and let the public make up their own fricking mind, instead of telling us what to think!
That would be refreshing.

HOWEVER, I find the complete disregard of stories when some finally do their jobs, because they didn't do it before, to be troubling as well.
We were right to criticize then for not doing their jobs, but when they finally do it, it's stupid to deflect and ignore since they didn't do it before. Otherwise, it doesn't seem like we really care whether they actually do their jobs.

It's challenging when history tells you that they won't do their jobs the next time the Dems win this or that.
It's very strange to only do your job part time. Must be great to work part time for full time pay.

I agree with this, however it takes time to build up credibility when you (as an industry) have lost all credibility based upon their actions, even recently. They have to realize they lost the trust of many and have to rebuild it.

Yes, when you are ruled by a Leftist Dictatorship, that is the Mission Objective of all information dissemination. That's why they are all working to destroy Trump so that they can have a Dem in the WH -- so they can continue the mission.

dangerous to tell the truth and follow through on campaign issues
how in the world is this dangerous
it is amazing that the left is actually coming out from under their rocks and exposing their true colors
funny thing is
the media believes everyone actually cares about what they say and agree with their leftist views
I can only hope they continue this thread of action

The comment failed to raise any eyebrows from her co-panelists. Instead, her co-host, Joe Scarborough, said that Trump's media antagonism puts him on par with Mussolini and Lenin

There is no silver bullet in media theory. That's one of the first things they teach people in "media theory" university courses. IOW - media, like the weather, can only be predicted but never perfected.
There are two things the media hilariously botched in the past year. First was thinking media shaming tactics would work -- they didn't. Second was their reliance on a failed demographics theory from 2006.
tl;dr - college students are taught that media doesn't control a damned thing, so I'm not sure why MSNBC thought otherwise.

They hate that they have all been exposed for what they are.Bought and paid for "puppets".
That idiot at cnn,Chris Coumo,saying during the campaign,that it was illegal for you and I to read the WikiLeaks E-mails,but that he had special privileges.So,we should let him read them and explain it to us.

They are still doing the influence pedaling. There is no newly-found professionalism in the industry. They are still trying to tell people what to think--only now they are doing so by being opponents (to republicans)rather than advocates (to democrats).
They are worthy of being ignored because they are still trying to influence rather than inform.

It's my job for me to think about issues based on facts of the issues. I don't need the media or a person to do it for me.

The "Olympian detained at airport" story is a perfect example. They ran it during the Trump travel ban in an effort to make it look like Trump's policy was the reason this "fine American" was detained, when in fact, she was detained in December of 2016, during the Obama administration.
No retractions or corrections were made. They just let the truth slip quietly to the floor. That's not "doing their jobs." That's party-controlled propaganda.
