The Insanity of Our Media

[MoonRiver]

BREAKING NEWS on both CNN and MSNBC is "Donald Trump arrives in Texas," with video and pundits commenting non-stop on this "significant" event. I doubt this stupidity would be preempted by even a nuclear attack from North Korea.

1. between Donald Trump and Bill Cosby....

I have pretty much given up on the news....both outlets go at those two"stories" practically non-stop.

[MoonRiver]

3. Yep, that's the only news that's happening around the globe.

[Stallion]

4. Don't Forget the Weather

we have a couple of generations of people who don't get or understand current events

[MoonRiver]

6. It's really pathetic. No wonder Repugnants win elections.

[blm]

2. And the BIGGEST FOREIGN POLICY debate since Iraq war is roundly ignored by every 'news' channel.

Can't upset their war-profiteer masters, can they?

"The hearing marked a new phase of a bruising struggle that will lead to what will arguably be the biggest foreign policy vote in more than a decade."

Kerry, Moniz, and Lew have been knocking down every BS talking point the war party has been trying to attack them with, and corporate media refuses to show their testimony unedited.

5. The M$M has been a joke for decades, amazing they still have a huge viewer base imo.

TVEE Nightly News was destroyed and consumed by 24/7 Infotainment channels like CNN and Foxnews.

8. Depends, before 1996 and after 1996

clinton had a hand in this.

Ted Turner's vision survives in CNN-I... which is very good. CNN on the other hand... something about keeping people down and ignorant.

PRAVDA was never this successful, Russians knew the joke it was. There are people even today that defend our MSM

9. True, we shall see if future generations will keep the M$M in business.

The M$M is a product of the Baby Boomer generation.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. twitter and facebook are already overcoming it

as the leading source. It is still a news aggregator, but.

[Rex]

11. Then the M$M will have to resort to more outlandish articles and stories imo.

I agree, social media on the WWW has already far outpaced the M$M.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Which is what is happening

policy is boring, car chases are exciting.

7. as obama said. they like shiny things, or...SQUIRREL!

13. Did Trump appear on camera being interviewed and while being raped by a Mexican?

The media would eat up that kind of clown show circus act.

[spanone]

14. our media has failed us. period.
