I agree. When I attended Arizona State University in the late 60s, I took a course in mass communications and journalism, ironically from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at ASU, in which we were told journalists and reporters were supposed to be "objective" in their jobs. Ha!

Fast-forward to today and "subjectivity" to the extreme is the media's calling card.

People like Blackmon, whom I usually like but disagree with this time, thinks the news died just this recent Sunday but, truth be told, objective news died a long time ago. It was just not as easy to see back when the likes of Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, Edward R. Murrow, et. al. were the news and anchor stars of the day.

That's because they were are only source of news. Cronkite was a big liberal but because he basically had no competition as such, he was well-respected and believable. Little did we know.

With the advent of 24/7 cable TV news networks, the competition for "news" has increased to a point where it is not real news anymore. It is fake news, false reporting, fabricated stories, manipulated videos, etc. to match the agenda and narrative of the democRATS.

The American people have access to more information on the internet than ever before and they can see the fakery that the organized news networks and press have been hiding from them for decades.

One of the side advantages of Trump winning the presidency, is that he has mocked and trolled the media for their fake reporting. As a result, he has lured the cockroaches out into the sunlight where they expose themselves for the propaganda and publicity arms of the democRATS they actually are.

Personally, I stopped watching any TV news or reading any printed newspaper or magazine news several years ago, right after Trump won the Republican nomination. Because I could see that I was wasting my time absorbing falsehoods that this liberally-biased media was presenting to me as news.

Yes, this was just more of the same; SOP for the enemdia as well as the unassimilated ethnic minorities.
