re: The Media is Broken

Fox News is not "mainstream." It is probably the most "mainstream" media organization out there, given that it is the most popular cable television outlet in America.

Absurd,Fox News is a drop in the bucket compared tof
CNN,ABC,NBC,CBS,MSNBC,NY Times,WAPO not to mention late night and day time talk (about as professional and credible)and the rest of Hollywood.

It’s been broken for more than a decade.

It even extends to those sources that used to be hallowed grounds of truth and objectivity.

If it was ever that way, it certainly hasn't been since the neo-Marxists and their products/acolytes managed to infest the key schools of communication and other areas of education and media, beginning with Columbia's School of Journalism and then moving on to what was its prestigious Teachers College.

From there they spread to just about every Ivy League school and other key institutions.

But Columbia and Berkeley were their two most effective "homes-away-from-home," which originally were in Frankfurt, Germany and England's Tavistock Institute.

And it's been going on for over 70 years; so at least three generations of anti-Western, counter-cultural sapping to produce what you see now among too much of the populace.

You've always gotten that perspective/world vision from the Northeast MSM news.

Until '16 it was tempered and slyly crafted to make accusations of bias more difficult.

But the big reveal happened in '16. Now it's open, strident, bare naked, and unashamed.

It's what the majority of them have always been.

Mass media is not broken, but it is permanently transformed into what it is now and it will only get even MORE extreme Left Wing, not less.

This is by design and in accordance with a plan that's been on-going for at least 50 years, so, that's a big head start for people who might happen to awaken now and realize what it is.

That’s a little tin hattish for me. But I agree traditional media outlets were left leaning.

Then came Fox. And Rush. And the Internet. And even the Poli Rant.

Now people see and read only what they already believe. So why are y’all so butt hurt about an increasingly irrelevant MSM? I’m mean really. It’s pretty paranoid in today’s environment.

This. Opinions & speculation & "reactions" (hello, Hunter S. Thomspon!) ARE the "news".
It's not even a matter of fox vs cnn, or right vs. left any more. We ALL should have been pitching a fuss years ago, when it became apparent we were no longer being informed. Noticed the sharp turn to "tabloid" years ago with the local "news" - even prior to the influx of over-saturated cable "news" infotainers.
Now with the horse long out of the barn & hit by the mack truck decades ago, how to go back?

JudgeHolden It’s all opinion. There is no honest broker of news left standing. And it’s because we want it that way.

---

Actually there is, but there's a reason Cox, DISH & the others won't carry the family-owned News Network that nobody knows about, therefore hardly anyone is exposed to actual world and national events being reported with just the facts.
ETA, And you're correct "we want it that way". People are conditioned to/just want to be entertained.

It should concern ALL of us that it's the same tired old very limited topics "discussed" ad nauseaum for hours/days/weeks and even months on end. Yet, for too many people, it's just "right vs left". Chomsky & Alinsky were right!!

iluvlsusports The fact is that there aren’t any NEWS stations. A NEWS station would be one anchor reporting the news of the day. No opinion, no commentary, no narrative. Just one person reporting the actual happenings of the day. All of these networks should be forced to remove NEWS from their business names after this, unless they go back to reporting news the way it should be reported.

---

This goes for Fox Chat Club, CNN, and any corporate-controlled slop passing for "news". Right or left, you are ALL being kept in the dark.

PS Before anyone chimes in RE Ledger & Wheeler's shows, they're a mere two hours on weekday evenings, elaborating on news that Fox, CNN won't mention. The other 22 hours is straight news and investigative pieces, sans opinion & speculation.

You just got onto someone about worthless trolling.

Always. But my rant is not about trolling. It is about the blab school style of posting here, with everyone pretty much saying the same thing in mutual self-assurance.

That said, introspection forthcoming in the form of a nice scotch.

Conservatives here don’t want to talk about their golden boy.
