In reply to the discussion: Mainstream Media Refused to Report Trump's Bombshell Quid Pro Quo Offer to Big Oil Execs [View all]AZSkiffyGeek
(12,744 posts)62. I was a reporter at one of the largest papers in the country
I was laid off because people decided that getting news for free was better than paying for it. People who share archive links and tell others to use VPNs so they can avoid paying for their news.
So yeah, I have done plenty to advance the cause of journalism.
As a reporter for a daily newspaper, I'd think you'd know how to do a tiny bit of research to see that the headline you put on your post was false. But for someone who worked as a staff writer, apparently you don't value newspapers or consider them valid, otherwise you wouldn't have claimed that mainstream media wasn't covering a story that was BROKEN by one of the biggest mainstream media outlets in the country.

Maybe it's because the mainstream media is more aligned with big oil than it is with progressive politics?

Now you're posting something that dramatically undermines your position as if it supports it?
