“And yet Fox News’ share of the market keeps growing.
Wonder why that is?”
According to this libtard I work with, it is because Americans aren’t interested in the truth.
Sigh...
You have one of those too?
Sigh . . .
Tell him/her that
- Journalists are all selling the idea that the news that they know from the newswire but which you haven't heard/read yet is important. And most of the time, most of the news is unimportant and will soon be forgotten.
- Journalists claim to be objective, or at least that all other journalists are objective (which, if those other journalists make the same claim, is the same thing).
- The only way to even attempt to be objective is to start out with an analysis of any reasons you might have to want to believe what you do.
- Journalists never point out their need to make the news seem more important than it usually is - or any other tendency which inheres in their business model.
- Therefore journalists' claims to objectivity are a fraud.
- People who ignore or heavily discount so-called "objective" news evince far more interest in the truth than people who passively follow the story line of the journalist.
