MAINSTREAM MEDIA / F- Grade

The mainstream media was the watchdog protecting the public. Today the media protects big business and parent company profits. No more hard news putting people’s feet to the fire. Now they just give them the mic to spew alt-facts with little push-back.

Hey mainstream media, STOP being part of the problem. Ask the hard questions and if they side-step not answering the question, answer it for them referring to their past comments and make them refute with facts or agree. JOURNALISTS DO YOUR JOB...be the public watchdog again!

It’s why they readerships and viewerships have dropped off a cliff. They’re stenographers now just parroting the fascists propaganda.

People have and are moving to independent, local and international sources for accurate, fact based reporting.

People also includes a large number of former CNN and MSNBC hosts and reporters like Jim Acosta, Joy Reid, Etc…. Katie Phang is the latest to join Substack.

You can ask, because it’s interesting to hear the answer, but don’t report it as the truth. Everybody on the planet knows truth does not come out of that White House.

This is exactly how the press contributes to an Overton window shift.

And DOOCEY????? Well, obv, he has to lie! It’s a job requisite! I don’t know what the man’s credentials are, but 10 to one he did not go to journalism school. Or — sorry to be elitist!! — who knows? Maybe the guy’s just corrupt to the core. I’m gonna Google his background right now.
