Onlyway for MSM to start reporting and not pushing narratives would seem dictatorial

Eta: I’m not calling for the government to get involved in private media organizations at all with this post.
Look, I want the CNNs and MSNBCs of the world to start actually reporting news, not push a narrative as much as the next guy. I just don’t see how that can be done without the government seeming heavy handed.
Maybe they can be hit with enough slander lawsuits that they finally go bankrupt or realize that their bottom line is being affected to such a degree that they have to start becoming impartial?
This immigration bullshite is a made up crisis to avert the attention from the Horowitz investigation findings which are a much bigger deal. That much should be clear to anybody that follows the happenings in D.C. at all. Maybe people are starting to watch less and less of the cable networks and maybe people are starting to watch less and less of the ABCs of the world as well, but that isn’t stopping them from pushing their biased agenda.

The government doesn't need to get involved.
The problem is a human nature or societal problem.
And maybe there will be a tipping point in the future where society demands less bias news sources and moves in that direction, but in the meantime, the media will continue to provide narratives that we, as a society, gravitate towards, and that is emotionally charges narratives.
You want it to change? Stop watching and reading any and all obviously bias reporting.

"news" is also a subjective thing.
What's news to you may not be worthy of my attention, and vice versa.

I’m in my mid 20s and I don’t understand how so many people in their 40s and 50s (especially on this site) can’t get away or off Facebook and social media...
I haven’t been on Facebook in 7 years and I follow just 30 accounts on Twitter. I also cut the cord 2 yrs ago and just have an Apple TV with Netflix, hbo, WatchESPN.
It really does dial everything down if you get off social media AND stop watching cnn, msnbc, Fox, abc, etc.

Government needs to stay out. Markets will balance themselves over time. Actually, it would behoove Trump and the Rs to pass a bill specifically worded to ban and limit government influence in the media. Would blow the left's collective minds but we won't see it since the Rs want to maintain the loopholes that they can also abuse.

It is the same reason why the MSM is the way it is
People love outrage

I understand that, but there are always going to be fricking morons that take their talking points straight from CNN. I don’t see their ratings dropping to such a degree that they have to shut it down or stop being so biased.

Posters on this board need to step back and take a break as well.
Taking a month off is refreshing.

In 1983, 90% of american media was owned by 50 companies.
In 2011 that same 90% is controlled by 6 companies.
US media has abandoned their responsibility to the country. The view that gets advanced is no longer the view of the ‘little guy’ – it’s the view of ownership, of top management, of major corporations.

There are people who cannot accept they are irrelevant in all age brackets. They are convinced they somehow matter to others. Me? Nope, so never engaged in social data mining, er, media.

Too funny how much this statement holds true. Mom, 79 years old, just had to get a new TV. She was all about investigating features, sizes, reliability, the resolution, HZ,... all the stats. I was laughing so hard. She watches the local news 3x/day and Fox. That's all her TV is ever tuned to. Color and size and all that stuff does not matter one bit. It could be a puppet show with a speaker outputting Fox and local news sound and she'd be happy in reality.
Mom gets all excited too, "oh come see this guy is talking about how crooked the Dems are." Yeah Mom, breaking news, they've been human pieces of shite my entire life.

Oh is that why Fox and it's hosts pretty much dominate the ratings? Because CNN gets ratings lower than some PBS and TNT shows? Because CNN literally hardly ever gets in the thousands on retweets on twitter?

Too late for that baw. Operation Mockingbird anyone? Look it up, it's a real thing.

100% agree with this. When millions of people get their news from Facebook, that is a yuge problem.

It would help in some small way if we stopped sharing every clickbait article they posted so that we could rage at how ridiculous they are.
This board needs a permanent sticky walking posters through the steps to post the archive of an article rather than the article itself. Let’s do our small part to stop giving CNN the clicks they want when they cover this administration with 98% negative coverage.
