This is my first post as a new member here. I hope I’m doing this right.
It’s too bad to see the old media die. As an old movie fan, I enjoy seeing movies with hard-boiled reporters who leave no stone unturned... Of course, our media hasn’t been that in several decades, if at all.

I think the consensus here would be that we would love to see an army of hard boiled reporters turning over stones and exposing a lot of the fraud, waste, and abuse committed by politicians of all parties. The reality is that the bias is so severe that the operative mode is that no republican mistake is too small to magnify, and no democrat mistake is too great to minimize. Piss on the media.

Let me second the welcome to Free Republic.
I agree that what's happening to the old media is sad in a sense, but they have definitely brought it upon themselves with their incredible arrogance.

Sad, isn't it? Reporters used to follow stories wherever they led, be it politicians, the famous, whatever. There are many stories, not just in movies, of reporters risking their lives to bring the truth to the public. Today, they would realize the implications of a story and huddle with their editors, and decide whether to report it, distort it or can it based upon their personal views, which in most newsrooms are liberal. Those old-time reporters and their counterparts in the old movies would shun today's "reporters" with disdain.
And welcome to FR!
