To sit silently by as the President of the United States spiels mobster ideas thru their reporters. "Flipping"? To support such blatant disregard for the law is nothing short of a disgrace... America is not supposed to support criminal activities.
The lack of professionalism is stunning.

(38,958 posts)infotainment designed to keep eyeballs tuned in for the next round of advertising for prescription drugs that we never knew we needed as opposed to suppling news. One must keep that in mind.
Granted CNN & MSNBC do brush up against news and facts far more often than Fox, but it's the same business model, just variations on a theme. Commercials, Opinion, Commercials, Talking Heads, Commercials, Perfectly Dressed and Made Up Presenters, Commercials, Breaking News (that one could read on the internet hours ago) Commercials, Panelists Talking Over Each Other, Commercials, A Sports Story, Commercials, More Opinion, Commercials, A Feel Good Story, Commercials and on and on and on.........

(38,958 posts)or he of theirs, whichever came first the chicken or the egg, that was not my point at all.
I simply do not believe that they or any of the others provide more than infotainment. The degrees vary widely, but I do believe that all of them have helped to put Trump into office with their breathless "Trump just had a cheese sandwich" coverage and that none of them really qualify as news organizations. It really is just about advertising dollars and the infotainment is there to produce profits not serve the public interest.

(111,110 posts)But I think there are some in the media, perhaps many, that feel their country is threatened and are doing their best to inform the people. Just my opinion.
