Mainstream News is Dying
Uncommon Analysis ^ | 11/19/2024 | Uncommon Analysis

Author proposes "polluted information environment" is at least partly to blame for election results, claiming professional news is better. We believe the democratization of information is good thing, not one to be feared, citing many examples of how the professional "news" have outright lied.

Where’s the picture of Captain Obvious?

Did this blog writer just realize this?

Next thing this guy is going to say is that WE SHOULD have bought Bitcoin and INVIDEA.

It cannot be stated enough what a terrible disservice the “mainstream media” has done to the American people and to this nation. They simply cannot be trusted. I largely get my news from here, Breitbart, Markley, van camp and Robbins, Charlie Kirk and Joe Rogan and I get accurate information on what is going on. Someone who relies on the MSM is brainwashed. We need more informed and rational citizens.

Every institution eventually drifts off mission over time. This all started with progressives taking over the J schools years ago.

I hope it happens.

Remember Mitt Romney said he wanted to do that, then the liberals squealed Mitt wanted to kill Big Bird, then Mitt felt compelled to say he loved Big Bird.

Woke commercials will pay all the bills, to keep them on the air. FOX and Newsmax will play cuts from their shows, to keep them relevant.

The Seattle Times has been begging for federal funding for a number of years. According to them, this is needed in order to save “independent journalism.” the fact that they can say that with a straight face tells us just how lost they are.

I threw the dirt over them years ago. We can’t trust one damn thing they say. If they say the sky is blue, you better go check for yourself.

You’re right, and it’s also why investigative reporters of newspapers never go after the pharm companies. It’s an agreement those companies have made. We spend big money advertising in your papers, you don’t do investigative stories concerning our drugs.

The Pharm companies are just paying a kind of protection money and it stinks!

that’s why it continues to amaze me that so many candidates, esp. Democrats, still spend hundreds of millions of dollars on TV ads ... and they show the same damn ad over and over and over again ... maybe if they spend half the money on making many different ads, esp. ones that were entertaining or truly informative, folks might watch one now and again ...

X and other formats available on your smartphone are now the new media.

How do I know? msnbc gets 700,000 viewers, Joe Rogan gets tens of millions as does Elon Musk.
