@philagelio336 : Obama ended the Fairness Doctrine, which sort of kind of kept the news sort of objective. Now they've been green-lit to gas-light, and they're taking full advantage. I think Obama did us all a favor, though, because the bias has ALWAYS been there. They just stopped trying to hide it and candy-coat it, so it's obvious to everyone. They were MUCH more effective when they tried to hide what they were doing. Now it's all out in the open.
I actually kind of enjoyed the insanity coming out. For YEARS they've maintained this lie of objectivity. Now the mask is off. The curtain's pulled back. And everyone can see. The propaganda was much more powerful in years past, because guys like Ted Koppel would wear this fake mantle of objectivity, while spinning, cherry-picking, and mis-directing our attention.
Now it's blatantly partisan, which is causing quite a stir in the short term, but takes us back to an earlier time, when people didn't kid themselves about the press. The 1st Amendment is there so that EVERYbody gets to tell their lies, and EVERYbody knows the bias of a given rag.
The New York Times was a MUCH better purveyor of propaganda back in the days when people believed in it as the "newspaper of record." Now, they're so CLUMSY about it, that they've been reduced to tabloid status.
