Default What Happened To Journalism?

Journalism Use to be....

Someone takes a certain idea and they present the facts and allow the reader to determine how they feel about a given subject. Allowing the reader to determine their own view based on the facts presented. Across Party lines and across political lines. They present the facts in an honest and straight forward manner. Then people develop their own opinion based on what they see. Being a free thinker and a level headed approach.

24 hr morphine drips of things you already agree with and\or things that will make you super angry at the other guys (because you are after all on the good guy team by default) are way more profitable

Sad, isnt it?

3 instances of bad journalism come to mind:

Richard Jewell - a case or gross negligence, where conjecture ran wild and journalists played judge, jury, and executioner in the court of public opinion.

Jussie Smollet - a case of turning a blind eye to the truth, while pushing a narrative that seeks to further the Journalist's political Dogma. If any one on this forum still believes Jussie's story, please raise your hand so I can know who you are.

Nicholas Sandmann - knowing the facts, but ignoring them in order to push a political narrative. Willing to destroy a young man who acted exemplary in the given situation. Sandmann got a lot of money out of CNN btw.

We are products of the media nowdays. They manipulate us so as to gain our favour, our vote, etc.

Good luck with that. Libtards cannot stand freedom of thought, they scared of that discussion since they suck at facts

Globally the BBC used to be revered for a (seemingly) impartial approach to its news. Facts, locations and the incident, who was involved and police reports of what caused it...as an example.

These days it's bad for two reasons. Like every other big news agency it plays up certain things, adjusts numbers up or down depending on the narrative, or focuses in on a really niche thing that will incite a reaction from a certain voting populace.

The other reason is more sinister, and that's what it refuses to report on. Anything with a racial slant is almost banned, or at least played down. Images are cropped to show what they want you to see... there's no honesty in it anymore. And they wonder why people turn away from the news and don't watch it.

BBC is just one example, I know most western government arm news is the same (ABC in America and Australia both use the same template).

Would be great if they stuck to facts and there was nothing "off limits" if it happened.

Hahahaha yeah liberals are the problem

Do we even have those in the United States? Barack Obama toppled a foreign leader, drone striked browns more often than he golfed, and deported Mexicans en masse

Obama and Hillary would both be center-right in any sensible political spectrum, you guys are just brainwashed into thinking abortion (which republican appointed judges won’t even ban!) and other niche issues are more important than the fate of the country

We’re circling the drain, and it’s not only the fault of the blacks. You rednecks should consider joining them in going back to Africa
