Be sure to bring up Hearst when people say they yearn for the "good old days," when news was objective. It's NEVER been objective. The 1st Amendment is there to protect dissident/dissenting speech, based on the ORIGINAL PAMPHLETEERS of the American Revolution.
It used to be more subtle, is all. I noticed this in the 1970s, when I was coming of age. They "objectively reported" what they reported on, but unless you did a lot of digging, you wouldn't know how many things they chose NOT to report, thereby suppressing 'inconvenient truths.' In the '70s, though, you didn't have 100 people on the street with video cameras in their hand-held devices, so when legacy media cherry-pick and slant reports on Antifa actions or the Covington Kids, there's a viral video from INDEPENDENT media that shows what's REALLY happening.
Doesn't mean I trust independent media. I just want to see competing media (not media oligopolies) put it all out there, and let the public pick and choose what's more believable. I like biased reporting, and I want to see left, right, middle, space-alien, and overweight bubble-gum chewers to put out what THEY see, and fact check ALL the SOBs.
