I long for a media outlet with fair and objective investigative journalists who report the facts and let the viewers decide. There are no real investigative journalists anymore. Journalists are reigned in by the few owners of big media who are seeking to promote their own agenda. Media is big business seeking money from sponsors and they will do whatever it takes for the almighty buck. Sad state of affairs. American media is no better today than Communist China media in my opinion.
Without researching the following generalization I think I can safely say that few of the people appearing on news shows actually have journalism degrees. Most are just personalities with handsome features and too many of them are lawyers. And their complaints that Internet blogs lack legitimacy because their views lack a journalistic editorial filter reeks of hypocrisy since they themselves are many times less journalistic and derive their supposed legitimacy due to their larger soap box. As for Megan Kelly, her first question to Trump smacked of “gotcha” and was couched as prosecutorial feminism akin to “are you still beating your wife or have you stopped”? So women are free to attack men with impunity and to respond in kind as Trump did is sexist? It would be more sexist to cow tow to Rosie O’Donnel and not engage in discourse due to her gender. She can’t attack someone and not expect a response in kind no matter her gender. But Kelly, being a lawyer and thus one of the least liked professionals in the country knew all of this to begin with but couldn’t resist the opportunity to be the one to bring Trump down. But she got out of it what she wanted more fame and fortune with a women’s magazine cover spread and a bidding war between Fox (Roger Ailes) and CNN (Jeff Zucker) with Kelly the winner. Contrast her question of Trump with her questions of the other candidates and you are left with an unfair and unbalanced conclusion and that Trump handled the question beautifully by saying “come on it was Rosie O’Donnell”!

Well and truthfully stated. It used to be a requirement of a bona fide journalist or reporter to be absolutely and as much as possible, objective and able to report without embellishing. You are correct; there are none left.
