No. The mass media are a divisive force and need to have scorn heaped on them.

"...a professor from Stockholm University in Annual Review of Economics examined the impact of the mass media on society and politics. Its findings were far less grim than what is commonly believed."

The Stockholm effect writ large.

Journalism investigates journalism, finds nothing wrong!

If journalists DOCUMENTED events, there wouldn’t be a problem. Instead, they foment events, cultivate bias, and obfuscate truth.

The study is just another journalistic lie.

A recent, eye-opening literature review by a professor from Stockholm University in Annual Review of Economics examined the impact of the mass media on society and politics. Its findings were far less grim than what is commonly believed.

Brought to you by the same professors who bring us the global warming stats?

Liberal control of the Media/News industry is US Enemy number one.

We should be taking a sledge hammer to the existing media system. It is filled with nothing but Urban Liberal Democrat Party Union members who can't be unbiased because their worldview has no grasp of the fact that they are inherently biased.

The only way to address this is to force them to hire people outside of their world view. We should be filing discrimination lawsuits against them until the political balance of the News and Entertainment industries resemble the country at large.

We should be filing lawsuits against their hiring and promotion practices, because they routinely discriminate against conservatives (1/3 to 1/2 of the nation) in their hiring.

Until the makeup of the News Rooms resemble the political Demographics of the Country at large, these people should be regarded as guilty of deliberate discrimination against a very significant plurality.

I ran an informal and unscientific poll here at FR some years back.

Who is the least untrustworthy? Who is worse?

Politicians or the media?

Results were clear. Politicians were lying dirtbags who were incompetent at best; dangerous and corrupt.

The media was 10 times WORSE.

The Media is nothing more than “Mass Delphi Technique”

Here is what the Delphi Technique is:
“ In group settings, the Delphi Technique is an unethical method of achieving consensus on controversial topics. It requires well-trained professionals, known as “facilitators” or “change agents,” who deliberately escalate tension among group members, pitting one faction against another to make a preordained viewpoint appear “sensible,” while making opposing views appear ridiculous. “

The headline is a lie and the item that follows is worthless. Now that said not all the mass media is worthless. The New York Times has a crossword after all.
