The real question is, who is to blame, the crybaby fools who do nothing but complain about it, or those don’t know any better in the first place?
A better question might be how does one counter the firm belief many people have in the media ?
I know from experience with co-workers that many simply accept whatever the 6 0’clock newsreader says, and when I have tried to correct the errors with reference to other sources ,been met with derision and scorn.Many will not even consider looking or reading elsewhere for information.So if 51% of the voters base their decisions on bad information I think we are in deep trouble.
Further I don’t think it is whining to relentlessly point out the bias in the media.What other evils would you rather not be mentioned?
Agreed that identifying the bias is only the first step in fighting it;you need to acknowledge there IS an evil AND then take steps to counter it.
