CONSIDER THIS: The Media Never Examines Why They Are Held In Such Low Regard And Trust - How About These Reasons?

in politics •  8 years ago 


ONE - The media never questioned the useless drug war and instead played up all aspects of whatever the worthless politicians had to say to politicize the issue - ruining the lives of countless people and emboldening the police. Indeed, all it takes to hold the media in low regard is to have EVER been on the opposite side of what is politically popular - such as Gay Rights - which the media was endlessly silent on for decades.

Against the war....oh too bad...the media LOVES wars...action...ratings...meaningless debates about defense spending while the Pentagon misplaces a trillion here and there. ......Bernie Sanders? ....If you couldn't tell the fix was in...where are you finding your political reads?.............Or, how about the political commission that approves the Presidential debates (controlled by the two parties) ignoring multiple polls that wanted to let in the Greens and the Libertarians (on stage)? ---- To me...not doing so was a factor in LIMITING VOTING....and yet the media wants a free pass to respect....

Make them earn it.

Great post! I have read some of your other posts and we may not agree politically on all issues , I totally agree with your take in media and the 2 party system. I believe that the fix is in on both sides of mainstream politics and media. We need to get rid of the system and find people that will bring a voice of reason and commitment to serving the people to the table.

thanks man
