(36,458 posts)"Fair and balanced." Like both sides are always equal. Bullshit.
Real journalists investigate the pros & cons of the issues & present both sides. They aren't afraid to say that one side doesn't add up. I'm sick of the "democrats do it too" crap that has passed on the "news" for 20 some years, now. The hypocrisy in how they report on repubs vs. dems is boggling. If the democratic candidates had complained that the debate questions were too hard, they would have been the laughing stock of the media. That the media even takes the repub clown car seriously, tells everything about how far they have fallen.
The entire system is so compromised with everything-for-profit & the greed heads are in control. I don't know if we can get it back before they ruin everything. Not one major power/organization is doing anything of scope about climate change.
Sometimes I think as a collective we might be going insane.
