I don't believe they are saying what anybody wants except those that are paying their salaries. The Oligarchs.

And I suppose you can't blame them. They are no longer providing a service, they are more or less in it for the money. For sale to the highest bidder...sounds like they are a part of the oldest profession in the world now...and that profession is not Journalism.

When were they ever. Oh yes, CNN international actually does news every now and then, but that isn't broadcast here in the states. MSNBC...I've always considered them an opinion show that uses the news to get their ideas as to what opinion pieces they should present to the public.

and I was so grateful. On American TV all we get to hear about is the awful never ending electioneering coverage. It is abysmally embarrassing to see that this country is unable to provide world news to its people.

Unable is because of being impotent to do it, unwilling is because there's money in the non-action

One has to giggle that when told they have left wing bias.

They catapult the propaganda and define the bounds of "acceptable" discourse.

Without the Fairness Doctrine and with no competition because of the concentrated corporate ownership of media, the cable "news" and opinion channels have scant reason to serve the needs and wants of their viewers.

Trump ain't part of the establishment, he would like to become the new establishment and the M$M smells the fear from the GOP.
