Unfortunately most of our "major media" sources have sunk to the point where they are no more reliable or ethical than the National Enquirer, but without the Enquirer's capacity to entertain.
I don't think many people outside this country (and certainly not in the ME, where awareness of other cultures is actively discouraged) are fully aware of the depths to which our media have sunk.
It's a fine mess they've created, and not one that's going to be easily repaired. They've provoked ME relations and human deaths have occurred from the resulting outrage.

Lately, the National Inquirer is more reliable and truthful. At least who is cheating on who is right.
This is the reason I found FR and TM. We can't count on the MSM to tell us the truth (without editorial slant) or to give us more of the type of news that actually matters to Americans (NOT entertainment news). I'll have no trust of those who spin the news toward their agenda until they themselves are tossed.
