Where is our free and independent press core? [View all]

[angrychair]

All we have is Trump's propaganda core in the news media.
I don't care if it's Hannity or Maddow, they are all the same in the end: propaganda and Gaslighting ( YES, Hannity is a lot more obvious but Maddow is not doing her job either and in the end the result is the same)

I'll change my mind:

*When they start asking serious questions, directly to trump and his surrogates and demanding actual answers (not word salad, no fake news stories and no false statements)

*stop letting trump surrogates on their shows to monologue for 5-10 minutes straight and then move on to their next segment leaving the trump surrogates unchallenged and unanswered.

*When they start actually addressing trump's criminal actions in a serious manner and with as much effort and vindictiveness as they did with non-criminal actions of Clinton or Obama or Sanders.

*When they actually challenge the insanity of a president-elect using a social media app as a tool to bullly and abuse and intimidate people as well as to air half-baked policy positions with no foundation in reality.

*When they humbly and without reservation, apologize for having a live video on full screen of a empty podium, for almost 30 minutes, that trump would eventually walk to while the Democratic Party candidate was small screen with no audio for that entire time while giving a speech at a large event

The so called "press" does that then I may consider believing they are the press and not a bunch of elementary school newspaper "reporters" pretending to be real journalists.
