Why are there so many dishonest journalists?

[wamose]

I think politicians use all this bogus grant money that's floating around to pay MSM outlets to publish stories favorable to Democrats. Todays MSM is nothing but Marxist propaganda.

 

[Votto]

Like it or not, the media continues to steer public opinion and support.

As such, they care less about ratings.

It's more about power.

The MSM is merely a tool of the elite. It is totally controlled. Americans like many in this thread, have no understanding of this and many outright dispute it, yet the Church Committee from 19...FUCKING...75 proved it.

Many Americans are willfully blind to the truth.

Do sheep have the ability to not be sheep?

No.

Some people opine that the Honorable Donald J. Trump (for whom I proudly voted twice) is partly responsible.

He publicly humiliated the media for being dishonest, so -- of course -- the media were shocked and decided to bring him down, even with actual fake news.

And they succeeded.

Future politicians: Kiss up to the media or suffer what The Donald did. Remember what Richard Nixon told Henry Kissinger: "The press is your enemy. Enemies. Never act that way ... treat them nice. ... But don't help the bastards. Because they're trying to stick the knife right in our groin." -- Source: Robert M. Smith, Suppressed / Confessions of a former New York Times Washington Correspondent (2021), page 253.

Liberal arts graduates....barely informed...and even less educated....

No doubt....but I think it runs deeper as in....news organizations became more concerned about ratings than the truth.....add to that all the pretty faces they hired.

Not even to mention how the msm has colluded with the democratic party to such an extent they now refuse to deviate from the 'party line' aka reminiscent of how 'Pravda' always followed the party line in Stalinist Russia.

Thus the alphabet media in reality is nothing more than a propaganda arm for the democratic party.

FOX "news" is living proof.

And today our news agencies are linked to mega corporations...and that is not working...we need to break them up along with big tech....

Fake news has Been around for a long time in this nation. (That doesn’t in any way make it right.)

The Atlantic is one of the most extreme examples of Leftist bias and fake news.
