You scored a direct hit with this statement, I'm almost 59 and it makes me madder than hadies as well as scares the crap out of me. Thinking about all the distortions and lies that I've believed in the past, because of faith in the media.
One things I'm sure of though is that I will never again accept anything released by the MSM without complete openness and documentation (no more annonomyous sources). And I now consider anything the MSM says to be a lie until I'm shown proof otherwise.
I'm 61 and my uncle was publisher of a fairly good-sized MSM newspaper and was president of some kind of nationwide publishing society. When my husband and I, back in 1970 or so, asked him about liberal bias in the media, he said there was no such thing.
He died before the advent of the internet. I've wished many times that he could have seen what's going on now. He thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and I wish he could have seen Dan Rather, Jayson Blair and the rest go down.
