Precisely the reason we've almost (at our house) entirely quit watching TV news. Journalism is apparently completely dead. When I watch opinion based shows, I expect that, but not from those who interject their personal idealism into world, national and local news.
Am I alone in wondering why US newscasters report little if anything about foreign countries? They've gravitated instead to entertainment industry gossip and dumbed down their "alleged" reporting. A 30 second video snippet is the most we can expect these days from those who have supposedly done their homework on world matters.
The “news” casts are tabloid gossip because that’s what sells. People watch that crap so that’s what they get.
As for “journalists”, they come from the bottom of the barrel of academia. A degree in journalism is about as difficult to achieve as a degree in education.
There is a concerted effort to keep the population dumbed-down, and keep them stuck on celebrity worship. Libtards are conditioned by Hollywood to suspend disbelief and avoid thinking about what the actual truth is about world events.
