News media died decades ago.
They nailed the coffin shut in 2003, though.

Could you imagine the difference if, in the fall of 2020, the Washington Post had accepted a copy of the Hunter Biden hard drive and actually investigated the thousands of emails, photos, text messages, and other evidence that implicated not just Hunter but his father Joe Biden in sundry unethical and criminal enterprises?
What about CBS, NBC, and ABC? Shouldn’t we as news consumers expect these leviathans “to give the news impartially, without fear or favor, regardless of party, sect, or interests involved,” as the new owner of the New York Times declared way back in 1896?
Yet in October 2020, when the New York Post wrote a series of stories describing the corrupt nature of the Biden family as exposed by the Hunter Biden laptop, there were few mainstream media outlets that dared to follow. Or really, not dared, but chose. Because there is nothing daring about doing your job correctly.
You would think that when all the major social media companies like Facebook and Twitter blocked any discussion of the New York Post’s reporting on the laptop, these other major news corporations would have come to the aid of the Post. If any of them had done their own investigation of the laptop, do you think that Twitter could have continued to censor the news under the false claim that it was Russian disinformation? Hardly. But no mainstream media outlets were willing to put their own reputations on the line to support free speech – because their reputations are based entirely on being guardians of the left, and protecting Hillary, Barack and the Bidens is more important than fidelity to any chimeric sense of fairness and honor.

If our republic is ever restored properly, there will need to be some major adjustments and one of them will be to the media. There will need to be some kind of media accountability act or something that will require them to report properly.
also the 2nd amendment will need to have a changes
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms AND TO USE THOSE ARMS TO DEFEND YOUR LIFE AND PROPERTY, shall not be infringed
Orwellian Ministry of Truth.
Totalitarianism. No a joke.
The media are too left liberal to be fair and just report.
When Turner brought CNN to TV land, how could they do news 24 hrs a day. Today they have a ‘machine’ to indoctrinate. It doesn’t have to be news and it doesn’t have to be truth.
The “legassy” media says what it gets paid to say. They are not independent. Their content is subject to manipulation from the outside. If you work for them and then ask questions you will be fired.
We do have a functioning media. The leftist media, in the capitialist market place, fills the demand to the useful idiots of exactly what the useful idiots demand. The idiots demand the lie so they can have their stupid thoughts validated and so they can ultimately live with themselves in the false world they make up in their heads.
What we do not have is a functioning populuce. It is chock full of useful idiots.
yes, the people are stupid. no one denies that.
BUT there has to be some accountability. They must be forced to separate between reporting and opinion/agenda and they must be forced to very publicly retract and correct false stories/reports.
with the swamp we live in, fixing the media is only one small step. Theres a ton that needs fixing all around
They use to look out for the people now they are bought and sold
It ISN’T the news, and it ISN’T the truth. Screw those rats 🐀
The lamestream media promotes and must have death and destruction. Following the truth only promotes sanity and tranquility.
Correct. And the programming is deep.
There would have been no difference. Fake voters and fake votes aren’t affected by a candidate’s scandals, corruption, rampant criminality, dementia, stupidity, malevolence, hypocrisy, dishonesty, or anything else.
Biden was going to “win” the 2020 election, and Trump was going to “lose”. It was predetermined. It’s as simple as that. Anyone who pretends otherwise is either dishonest, stupid, or has their head in the sand (or someplace else).
On the upside, they are legacy. Their audience is dwindling like a campfire in the night. As the baby-boomers die off, the next generations are finding other sources of info, particularly on the Internet.
Let’s get over any idea that the media cares about fair reporting. There is only one way to get their attention, and that’s to stop paying them. Cancel your TV subscriptions.
Until the final hours of Hitler’s regime, Joseph Goebbels never killed anyone.
Yet he felt he had to murder his family and commit suicide before being captured by the Allies. Why was that? He was just a journalist, no different than what you see in the American media today.
The day is coming, when the media cockroaches will be wishing they had a cyanide capsule to save them from the punishment headed their way.
Looking at you Banjo Boy and your adulterous wife, Nicole Wallace and Gromit, Joyless Reed, Blanch Behar, Gollum and the Forehead, etc. You filthy propagandist are going to wish you were never born. A correction is coming.
The bottom line is that there had not been a "fair" press for most of our lifetimes. Whining about liberal unfairness is useless. Avoid their lies and promote alternate sources, of which FR is one. There is a lot of good information on bloggers and alternative media sites.

If we had a real bulldog vs lapdog media both globalism and the Democrats would be pariahs.
The media is owned and controlled by globalist demons.
