Rachel Maddow Pessimistic for Media, Says It May 'Crumble' Under Trump

I agree, except I'm optimistic about it.

“Journalism” will prosper as there are so few real journalists that they will become famous and attract significant attention.

These losers in the msm aren’t journalists, they are liberal activists, who are they kidding?

We can only pray it does crumble.

If it crumbles it wasn’t because of Trump. It was the fact that it has become a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party and the Globalist desires that no longer even recognizes their function to the public they serve.

According to her "journalism" has a different meaning than before. "Journalism" requires objectivity and truth.

The media today are mere pimps for liberals, advancing an agenda. Journalists destroyed their own profession by their intellectual and professional dishonesty.

I don't even consult "newspapers" for news anymore, and definitely refuse to listen to tv or radio news. It's not because I don't care, because I do. It's because the media don't even pretend to be interested in doing their job.

Journalism is NOT a Profession, if it was you would need a LICENSE and it would be Heavily Regulated like EVERY OTHER Real Profession. especially when it comes to TELLING LIES!!!.

’Report the news...Stop trying to create it’...

It started with Watergate, newspeople wanted to become "famous". However, none of them were journalists so they instead started "becoming" the news to gain fame - take Megyn Kelly as an example.

Fake know-it-alls are delighted to find people who know less than they do so they can impress them....but they fall to ruined embarrassment when they finally figure out that many in their audience actually know the subject far better than they do.

They’ve build a media industry based on Dan Rather “fact” rather than the old definition of fact and that does crumble very fast when someone pushes back.

If they used facts (e.g. true and supportable reports) rather than opinion in their “journalism” they would be able to withstand criticism even when they face a politician like Trump who calls them out on their statements.

The entire media industry is corrupt, biased and they pick and choose who to collude and align with.

Our system is so effed up, the lying biased media are the debate moderators for our political debates? For Trump in the debates, it was like walking into court on bogus charges and seeing the prosecutors wife sitting on the bench.

It’s one giant con-job.

The media is aa disgusting pack of liars who’ve all been exposed for what they are thanks to Trump. After Trump is sworn in he needs to take to the airwaves, (The White House has it’s own television station) And tell the people exactly just how big of liars and how low these SOBs will stoop.

They’re not news stations anymore. They are infotainment providers.

Dan Rather and a host of other news stars killed journalism. Trump just arrived to bury it.

Rachel Madcow is the one TV talking head that I cannot stand to watch AT ALL, EVER !

Her mannerisms, her delivery, her head motions, her eyes and facial expressions, her gestures and her body language and vocal utterances are weird and bizarre.....and totally uncomfortable to watch.

Not to mention the snide, nasty, negative, arrogant and sarcastic leftist crap that emanates from her vitriolic lips.

There's something also strange about the masochistic people who watch her show, though I doubt if she has many fans outside of the gay and alt-left community.

Conglomerate news corporations are not our friends nor the friend of liberty. The MSM is clearly the ruing establishment’s propaganda machine and it needs to be dismantled permanently.

They should be regulated by impartial Angels....if we only had any available. In fact the best we can do is to let the consumer's judge for themselves what sources are trustworthy. For my money, many on you-tube are better than the MSM...although even more on you-tube are worse. The professionals will define themselves from their quality.
