Topic: Degradation of American media (Read 144 times)

This is actually part of the problem, not the solution.  Amateur video, tweets, and social media posts don't show the whole story and often leave people misinformed.  The commercial media outlets are always trying to be the first to report about a story, and may even use social media posts in an attempt to beat their competition to the punch.

The solution to these issues is actually going to be very difficult to implement, because it must come from us, the consumers.  We need to hold media outlets accountable for their misinformation; starting with CNN, the biggest joke among the bunch.  They are truly and unabashedly the media arm of the Democratic party.

Without the Russia Collusion Delusion, and before Pelosi provided them with their next script on "Health Care," recently CNN ran a story trying to credit Obama for the gains in economic growth under Trump. Never mind that the story completely ignores the policies that actually affect the economy, and are totally obvious to those of us who are not blinded by our political leanings.  Another story (that I cannot find now) tries to convince us that the economy is actually gone to shit, despite our growing wages and savings accounts.

Having been completely ridiculed for this pile stinking horse shit, what do they do?  Days later they completely contradict themselves by publishing a story about how a poll suggests we are happy with the current economy under Trump.  Yet, they stop short of actually crediting Trump for these gains.

CNN needs to die!  Now!  Not a slow, but a sudden and final death.  All the Jim Acostas and Don Lemons need to be fired, and never given the opportunity to pollute our airways with their biased BS ever again.  They can always learn to code.

The media has always been full of shit. The only difference is now people are starting to realize it, and as a result they have to maintain a constant treadmill of lies, which exposes them even more.

It is not surprising to me to see such news on the media houses. People would always form their variant opinions but I believe today's media landscape can't be trusted. Most of these international media giants with high reputation in the eyes of the public are doing worse things in secrecy.

Unfortunately it not always works.
In twitter there are pretty much rumours and just incorrect information while something useful may drawn in spam. Meanwhile, people are expecting those big media companies to have deeper insights into different situations, have a chance to represent some expert view and some other things that are generally considered as a quality informational content. At least that's how it was until 2016.

Whey went to the dark side and have been found out. In their recent desperation they have shown their cards so much that even to normies they are undeniably nothing but leftist propaganda outlets..

I get my news better and faster from other internet users than you could from any media company.
By the time a media company starts working on the story you could have read all of the tweets while it is happening and often live streams from amateurs in the area if you are paying attention at the right time.

It's fascinating that even a writer for the Rolling Stone has figured out that this Russia thing was if not a complete con, a mass hallucination they all bought into.

Hey guys!
I've just found some interesting read written by Rolling Stone columnist Matt Taibi. This guy is talking about the problems of American press that uncovered after so-called Russiagate (and during Iraq military campaign): https://taibbi.substack.com/p/russiagate-is-wmd-times-a-million

It is pretty interesting that once reputable media with probably world's bests journalists, which have a huge amount of money, connections and other resources, can degrade so fast.
