They think they are telling the truth already.

That’s why the situation is almost impossible to change. People in media think they’re doing solid work, and that the problem is with the audience.

Every major Television News Service is owned by a corporation which is part of a multi-national conglomerate. End of story.

not that the rest isn't valid in some form, but the opener is the summary of it all in 'coverage to eyeballs'...

Goebbels knew what he was doing ... he was simply on the wrong side of he-hate-me...

Every major Television News Service is owned by a corporation which is part of a multi-national conglomerate. End of story. It's not the morons Todor talks about. It's not the press believing they are telling the truth. The corporate owners set the agenda, the editors are corporate, and whether on the tube or in print everything is edited by a group at a central location. Our local newspaper sent its computerized plate setting to a central location many states away for final edit before it hit the presses. The editing was for anything that might harm the image of the corporation and I'm sure anything that wasn't corporate political policy.

The only way to have a free press is to make sure that they are stand-alone businesses and not corporately owned. If the entity is incorporated it should not be owned by multi-nationals and not part of a conglomerate.

The reason we are all carefully lied to, and why all the reports and verbiage sound alike is because the take on every story is controlled by just a few sources nationally. I was disappointed when Nikkei News was dropped from my provider. Between Al Jazeera, the Nikkei News, and what was reported by the European/American cabal, I could at least hear different sides of the story whether I agreed with their spin or not. I found Nikkei to be the best because they presented the story from the different perspectives involved and didn't tell you what to think.

Once again, the computer is our enemy. Search engines are few and easily controlled.

you may have missed my pre-dawn post about Zeitgeist - the Addendum ... the first hour pretty much defines the ^^^ and what we've pined over the years ......... no bs, this morning it simply popped up on muh radar .... the normal arrow key (>) turned into (<)...

I'm actually surprised it was on AMZM prime .... maybe it was the last hour of hypotheticals that keeps it in play....

That CBS interview with the Speaker should be the last straw with any R who wants to speak to these people going down the stretch.

The minute any of them complain that Politician R won't speak to them, they should immediately reply with this CBS garbage and explain why the media are not trusted any more.

Stop pizzing on us and tell us it is raining.

...and yet those who claimed to be "Republicans" were all for big corporate consolidation in media among others (as far back as 80s and 90s). They were wrong. Independent and local with very loose networks is better. Its funny, today's Leftists Dems are all for what they call 'diveristy' (actually it is racism) and what they call 'choice' (actually it is murder primarily of innocent darker skinned folks) except where those things actually matter: in media, in consumer options and competition. Then you better listen to what they want and agree or it's censorship for you....
