Very true and mostly because you can't get to the really well paying gigs in journalism without the audience, therefore offending them is, these days, a career suicide. The viewing audience that actually cares about the news is extremely divided and likes their party lines. There are still a few decent guys out there like Bob Fife in Canada or Stossel and Greenwald in US, but they're few and far between. The rest go for the easy common denominator coverage and, even then, in support of the commentary side because that's where the real money is made.
MSM can't be trusted

Come on man, be original and get your own material!!!! I didn't want to put names on them because the righties would all report it to the mods whining trying to get me banned. You're lucky I'm not a whiner cry baby snitch.
I think that is actually incorrect in the sense that they have their minds made up before writing the story. The more accurate explanation for all of this is that newsrooms have been decimated. They don't have the institutional knowledge like they once did. Many places no longer have a reporter covering a beat, so they don't have the background to dig deeper into a story. And, probably most importantly, reporters don't have the time to dig deeper into stories unless their editor sees a potential blockbuster of a story. But, there is also a chance the story might turn out not to be accurate, so the editor needs to be willing to take a risk. TV might be the worst. They frequently "rip & read" wire copy, which might be re-written a bit.
Yawn. Where did I say it? Fife is an.honest lefty, Stossel does mostly business and no one in the right mind would call Greenwald a right wing.
ahaaha indeed. Snowden had to run for his life while the men he exposed are "teaching" lefties on the lefty networks. Assange has been imprisoned for YEARS for doing what Bernstein did back in theday. Bernstein "is now "explaining " to the lefties on the lefty networks while Assange is facing a prison sentence. And now Greenwald is "right wing" because the uppity libertarian gay dared to go where the story led. I used to have grudging respect for lefties for their principals, but today's lefties are just partisan whores.
I see where you are coming from and that may play a part. But just watch the first minute or so of this clip. I think he nails it.
So who do you trust? Name your sources!!
USA Today pulls back 23 articles after probe finds reporter faked sources
After an internal investigation revealed that the writer who authored the items misattributed comments and, in some cases, faked interviews and sources, USA Today pulled 23 news stories from its website | OpIndia Newswww.opindia.com
Assange screwed up.
He got pissed at Hillary so decided to screw up her election.
Once he did that he was a political operative and not an impartial whistleblower.
The exposed corruption but not during an election.And Bernstein and Woodward did what?
There was no dirt found in dem/Clinton emails.
Which is why Assange, Rudy and Stone are in legal trouble but not Hillary.
ROTFLMFAO!! Yeah, the timing is the problem...like the MSM suppressing the Hunter's laptop because of the election or Hillary pushing the Russia Hoax right before the election. Sucking and blowing doesn't work. Anywhere(but thanks for the laugh).
Timing was what made it a problem, yes.
If he was a whistleblower and just released the emails nobody would have cared, but instead Assange got the emails from Putin and waited until Stone told him to release them. Within an hour of pussygate.
Hillary didn't push any hoax before the election.
Nobody suppressed Hunter's fake laptop either, they just recognized it as disinformation so they left it alone.
ROTFLMFAO!!!!! There's ZERO evidence that WikiLeaks got anything from Russia. There's ZERO evidence on how the emails left Hillary's server or the DNC servers. No government entity got a chance to examine them. Thanks for another laugh! Keep it coming.
I think whataboutism is overused, but you need to accept that today's media is horseshit.
You are a much better man than I… you at least pretend he cares about factual journalism. He doesn’t.
This isn’t about who can be trusted…. It’s just a “gotcha” post. Anything to sew discord against actual news organizations that investigate and print the fuckery going on in politics… and these days those scales are tilted heavily to the right. The GOP are rigging elections, all while claiming the Democrats are rigging elections. It’s a master class in how to steal democracy.
Frank, do you remember not too long ago when I caught you in a spin? A previous thread was discussing media misinformation. And in regards to reporting facts, you in effect said the CBC was reported what their audience expects.
You didn't say they were objective and unbiased. You didn't say they reported facts. You said the CBC reported what matched the mainstream CBC audience's perspectives.
It's not a big deal, but it inadvertently admitted bias to correspond with the audience's bias. Most of the media reports only what they think will match the sensibilities of their audience.
