Consider this short damning video from Denzel Washington, a cultural icon who cannot be attacked by the MSM because he is a) black and b) a star (either attribute alone would be insufficient protection, but taken together, he becomes untouchable by the celebrity-loving and racist-supersensitized Media):https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=587384427Can you post a direct link to this video? That takes me to your facebook but I don't see it there and don't do facebook so can't login.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Denzel Washington thinks he's got it figured out. But the mainstream media doesn't spread misinformation just because they rush to be the first to break a story.
They spread misinformation because it's what they're being paid to do.

you are not seriously suggesting that Walter Cronkite was an unbiased reporter? He created a narrative that reflected his agenda. He did not report the news.

They spread misinformation because it's what they're being paid to do. well, yeah. but what to do about it? we've got 7 billion plus people down here on the Urth, just needing to be fed, clothed & housed. the mainstream media won't be touching that truth, story or reality. and der Pope, Allah, and the Protestants won't either. it's persona non grata. ya know?

Sam Donaldson and Dan Rather were two TV personalities who emoted their biases openly and from their time onward the MSM went on the back burner for me; there were others of course but they immediately come to mind. But I agree with Websterparish that the media began giving up their "watchdog of the republic" status in the 50's and onward with the infiltration of socialists, secular-progressives, and communists into education, government, and The Media. The Media, generally, have completely abdicated their role as journalists and have become snide, cynical, lying editorialists while poorly attempting to appear as neutral intelligentsia.
Doc Roc, I disagree that this will turn around due to owners, boards of directors, stock holders, etc., because enough of them are of the same infiltrated generation and more specifically, infiltrated power-brokers as those we see, hear, and read (if we still do). They are as idealogical as is Obama and post-modernism, hence multiculturalism, and everything under those umbrellas is a religion as much as is Christianity.
Trump is going to be fighting or circumventing The Media the whole way as they will be dedicated to delegitimizing him minimally or destroying him.

yep. then us lowly commoners will have to choose between der trumpman and his truths, and the msm versions of the truth.
those are the only two choices of the truth we have, right?
meanwhile there's 7 billion individuals, breeders, etc. loose down here on the earth, and no one makes a sound. surely, we'll all deserve what we get.

Gus, you might try American Thinker to sort of balance out your perspective on political and cultural reality.

I SUGGEST YOU DO WHAT I DO . BOY COT THE SPONSORS>, I ALSO Send emails to PBS.ORG FOR THE BIAS OPINIONS. I LISTEN TO SRN NEWS. BRIEF to the point and factual.
BLOOMBERG and SOROS probably have something to do with the bias.
I see four more years of economic stagnation and high unemployment if Obama is reelected. He lies every time he opens his mouth. "The GREAT DECEIVER"! Scary prospect.Worst president EVER. UPS HAS ROTTEN CUSTOMER SERVICE, THIS I HAVE EXPERIENCED

Walter Cronkite was also an outspoken, left wing anti-Second Amendment radical.I've heard him on his national radio show call for the banning and confiscation of all our firearms.
Also, when I lived in Los Angeles, around 1995 or 1996, in the Sunday Magazine edition of the Los Angeles Times, there was a very long interview of Cronkite. He admitted that he was and always had been a "Democratic Socialist." He also said that many, many very influincial people had begged him to run for President of the U.S., but he had declined to become President because he'd make so many people mad.
When the interviewer asked him why, he answered, "Because the first thing I'd do would be to have all guns confiscated?"
No, Cronkite and his fellow travelers were as skewed to the far left as they could be. Same as Donaldson, Rather, Brokaw, Mike Wallace, etc., etc. A plague on all of them, I say.

Who was it who said "never ascribe to malice, what can be adequately explained by incompetence"?
The MSM came into the internet age at the same time as their owners started being hit by competition. The owners put the news staff on short leashes for cost reasons, and it took only a few short years for those reporters to basically never leave the building. You could do interviews via the phone and email, research on the internet, and bingo, you have a perfect bubble the journalists never got out of.
I don't know how many reporters and talking heads I heard say this cycle that they basically knew NOBODY that voted for Trump.
That's because they know NOBODY outside their hyper-provincial urban world.

The fear has always been that .gov would corrupt the press, and turn it from a watchdog, into a lapdog. Quote of the day/week/month/year right there.

the urban vs. the rural. things are beginning to come into focus. just listen to the mass-media, and then see in which direction things are drifting. wake-up or become enslaved. that's my viewpoint. what's yours?
