In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders raising money off of false hopes - why aren't we SCREAMING about this? [View all]pandr32
(11,559 posts)You point out many glaring examples of how the media is not as interested in the truth as they are ratings and the interests of their advertisers, as well as investors. This is what we get for allowing the mainstream media to become corporate owned and no longer a free press.
We also have to beware of small, seemingly independent news sources--thanks to those think tanks and dark money groups. Too many people are fooled by these sites.
We need some accountability in reporting stories. Truth needs to be valued more than spin and we should start by bringing back the Fairness Doctrine that was struck down by Reagan.
I can't think of any other way to end the political reality TV that has replaced actual news. We hardly ever hear anything outside of political drama anymore--aside from breaking mass shootings and celebrity deaths and/or scandals.
