My frustration with the media: they read off of the GOPs ham-handed cue cards

14. are you under the impression that the "media" is about journalism and ethics?

>>Where are contrarians in the media? The people who say "wait, is that really true?"

1) They are a profit driven enterprise

2) They guarantee viewership by pissing off the democrats/progressives and catering to the gop/rich. Sure they could do it in reverse (Rachel Maddow etc) but why would the wealthy talking heads and media owners do that to any large extend?

3) It's cheap to stir up shit and get people to watch the show. Ever watch TMZ? Pretty much the same thing...

not a lot of mystery there

Do they care? I really don't think they do. They either think it's all a joke or have a ve$ted interest in maintaining the status quo. They're all part of the system - it would take a real "leader" with "integrity" etc to go against the system and the system has a **really** good way of preventing that by filtering out anyone before they get to the level of power to be able to do that.
