The media has VERY LITTLE viewership any longer NO ONE reads a newspaper any longer and very few believe ANYTHING the media says any more!! Those that watch CNN or MSNBC are so few it really no longer matters!! What scares me more is the monopoly of liberal bias on social media!!
Yeah. those outlets are yellow journalism, a step below tabloid / National Enquirer. There will always be a "few" who gravitate to the nutty. I guess we all do to some extent, LOL.

And in education. Kids today are immersed in agitprop from social media, peers, and teachers.
My point was that the foundational matters, "the law," "civics," history, those are not taught. So we get a situation where people don't recognize obvious errors, as errors.
For example, special counsel is appointed if there is a whiff of identifiable criminal conduct. The pretext used to appoint Mueller was a counterintelligence case. Fundamentally flawed from the start, like using the DOJ/FBI to investigate marital infidelity. Not to excuse the infidelity - just that it isn't the sort of thing that special counsel investigates.
Or the so-called whistleblower that triggered impeachment. The black letter law is really clear, but not even "checked" by the press or even GOP in Congress.
Or a person born a citizen of the UK, running and winning the presidency. Goes without a remark.
In these cases, some facts were reported correctly while related facts were omitted.
All scary stuff. I have little hope it gets fixed. The misfits are no longer a fringe group, they are a third, and in socially infulential postiions.
Maybe coincidental, but this slide toward globalism really kicked off with the advent of radio. social media of the day. People passively getting their heads filled. That situation made worse as technology advanced. Wait for the day the devices can be operated with thoughts or eye movement instead of fingertips.
