In the end, the country will get their information from these hyperbolic bloggers and not from their own eyes and ears. That is a bad and sad thing.

The American Media has brought this on itself.
Instead of being a neutral party, the New Left that materialized after the late 1960’s liberal cultural revolution, likes playing “gotcha” to Republicans candidates, while protecting their democrat buddies.
In this rigged media environment: Why even have a two party system?
Historically, the “neutral” media was only a thing from the Depression through the end of the Cold War.
What is missing is “investigative” journalism. The “Woodward/Bernstein” stuff (no matter what you think of it) cannot happen today because the newspaper staffs are too small and they need words from reporters every single day. Going off on an investigation and having to vet sources takes too much time, too many people, and too much money.
Even on a local level, in a mid sized city, the amount of corruption that goes un-investigated is scary high.
The networks are gutted and rely on the AP for their stories. The AP relies on Twitter. Network writers are kids who simply rewrite twitter feeds. The reporters on TV rarely, if ever, write their own stuff. All you need to do is watch them “shuck and jive” during an emergency and you can see their talent is reading—not reporting.
When you see “Twitter” or “Truth Social” as a source in any story; that is lazy reporting.
The reason its all left leaning is that the journalism schools are left leaning and the people running the networks are accountants, not trained journalists.
Finally, the small truths that DO come out are generally found by people who cannot present them well. Case in point—the Congressman who was releasing the Biden stuff yesterday looked like a rabbi reading from a school paper. He was not exactly forceful, personable, or confidence inspiring. He is probably a nice guy—but he could use some Media training, because he sucked.
Bloggers and You Tubers generally suffer from poor presentation skills, limited audiences, and very poor writing. They could literally discover the cure for cancer, but they come across as mouth breathing conspiracy nuts.
