6. They don't put the time in to appraise the truth because they're propagandists.

They're extremely well paid. Overpaid, in terms of production except in the sickest sense, IMO.

They aren't "journalists", and the "journalists" like Ralston get away with flat out lies because it furthers their employer's interests.

It's much easier for them to just ignore into nonexistence any opposition to their employer's politics, since their employers own the press that gives them voice.

Then, the truth doesn't matter. "Liberal television hosts" like Rachel Maddow make $7 million a year, I hear, for earnestly pontificating about politics and interviewing "liberal pundits" like E. J. Dione of the NYT and Eugene Robinson of the W. Post, and so on through a roster of paid political propagandists. Rarely, if ever, a let up. And we lap it up, just as others lap up Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh.
