What you say may or may not be true. But then who in the media do you deem as being more informed while at the same time being less popular?
By the way, is there something wrong with trying to be popular?
Perhaps applauding the proclaimations and advice of some undefined media outlet serving a smaller elitist group (versus the "people")in our country carries more weight and accuracy in news broadcasting for you...But I haven't discovered such a group as yet....Have you?
