They don’t do news. They do propaganda. That’s all they are about. They must be viewed in that prism. They discarded any pretense of journalism about 5 seconds after the network was launched. They are a 24/7 propaganda channel for berserk extremist liberals who need their “safe zone” against the realities of the real world and the unadulterated evil of their political heroes.
Here’s the greatest irony of all. No way Trump gets elected if he wasn’t on an NBC tv show (which made them millions and was a ratings titan, I might add) for the better part of a decade. America got to meet and know Donald Trump in a way that softened his gruff exterior to the point where he became likable. And it also gave Trump tremendous experience on how to handle himself before large crowds and on television.
NBC, you CREATED Donald Trump. How do you feel about it now?
Its all “propaganda”.
For the life of me I cannot even propose a way to ensure “news” was just that.
My only approach is to go with the most “fair and balanced” (and FBN is better than Fox) but still keep a discerning eye on reported events from other sources.
