it's blatantly obvious corporate America and the two political parties own and operate the media and now it's been planted in people's heads that's motherfuckers is liars and scoundrels more than ever before. everything on the big news networks has devolved into punditry so my question is how long is this really sustainable? in what ways will it get much worse?

There's like 15 news channels and they all blacklist Noam Chomsky and curtail any issue to a 60 second soundbite despite having 24 hours of airtime

i gave up on the liberal media when MSNBC made no effort to cover the GOP killing off extended ui benefits (which was a GWB thing mind u) which I doubt out via robocall the day after Xmas. iirc maddow was on vacation and chris hayes (🍼) was covering for the week and apparently thought it would be more important to continually report on whatever wacky shiet was said on  that day.That was the moment I realized that none of those ppl actually give a poo poo about the ppl they pretend to stand up for...it's mostly all ego propelled posturing for ratings. If they actually did care they would be real journalists or be werking for a group like ACLU or SPLC. Kind of a shame in Rachel's case cause she's very intelligent and talented, and far too much so to just be a talking head alongside chris matthews and ed schultz (who should be stripped of citizenship imo 🇷🇺 or better yet just drop dead)

There's already a 25th hour of news. You must tune into CNN at exactly 11:59:59, at which time all other channels will go to static and Wolf Blitzer's ghost will chant the names of every person to be murdered in the coming day, interspersed with lighter human interest stories.

This is the problem with basically everyone that is a "Very Serious Person" in Washington, none of them know what it is like to live poor or even to live middle class. They're all rich.

The only message in any sort of 24 hour news network is "keep looking." CNN closed its investigation journalism bureau years ago

What is the major news networks not pointing out that we indirectly funded bin Laden before and after 9/11 and allowing 'opinion' shows to paint it as a pan-muslim thing if not fake news. Like Donnie boy is an idiot but he's right about this one thing

I mean its still not a well known thing, almost 20 years after 9/11 and much longer since the first WTC bombing, the Cole, etc.

The last time I watched cable news it was the scare two or three years ago where two NY inmates escaped and for some reason the news covered it 24/7 for days, even though no one even remembers it now since they just caught the guys and nothing happened

Nebakenezzer posted:Honestly if I've had any sort of takeaway from recent events is what bullshit the concept "fake news" is yea its a jungle out there. my advise to everyone itt, turn off ur tv and keep ur critical thinking skills well honed (plenty oppos 4 practice nowadays ya kno). also dont get too attached to happenings as they are usually promoted as such to attract viewers via emotional manipulation. on the flippy, dont get ur hopes up too high for good news either (see last sentence). my recommendation instead is to go outside and enjoy urself...ur urself cant individually make any effective change as solidarity and collective resistance is still a foreign concept in America where the concept of protest has become about making the hottest wokest sign to get urself featured on pg. 26-30 of a huffington post clickbait article. why? because the media is casually dismissing it before u behind a shroud of likes and subscribes for potentially viral content. being a ball of anxiety wrapped up in all this will do nothing good 4 ur and change nothing. but yea u nailed it, as did others BONUS: find me a cable/network TV news clip of a host stating that "perhaps saudi arabia is bad" opinion
