But it wasn’t always so. I recently did an Udemy course by Dan Rather the old news reporter for CBS.
In the course it said the news department was always the loss making part of broadcasting - but was doing a public service by being impartial.
These days we have editorial content over factual reporting and as you say it’s about profits - with the main channels being controlled by around six conglomerates.
Of course the newspapers are slightly different - they’ve always been editorial and about profits but the nightly news should never be as partisan as it has become.
Throw in the censorship from facebook, twitter and now even youtube and the US resembles the media landscape of China
After the White House, Trump faces uncertain future and legal threats
Trump’s future, like his presidency, is likely to be loud, brash and brazen.
It will also not be entirely under his control. He faces a range of civil and criminal legal actions related to his family’s businesses and his activities before he took office, which could accelerate once he loses the legal protections granted to the occupant of the Oval Office.
Mitch McConnell acknowledges Biden as president-elect
McConnell is the most prominent Republican leader to acknowledge Biden’s win. His remarks come after the 538 members of the Electoral College cast their ballots on Monday, confirming Biden’s victory.
Yep @Blackduck - but hey I used to play tight head prop - so I can lean back a bit too
They come and go - we had a real good one 2-3 years ago - taught me a lot - MA Econ he was & lived in a flat in Hamburg - these don’t even have the self confidence to engage properly.
See this one won’t even answer the implied question as to why they feel so disgusted by Pres trump.
But I persevere - I’m still learning from them - I find them a fascinatingly wierd phenomenon
I know you like Peterson and I came across a vid of his today - one of his lectures from University in 2017 - which is particularly apt just at the moment. I’ll pop in a link - Particularly as he addresses the apparent link between diseases and Authoritarianism among loads of other stuff include Hiler and the Jews, which he explores really well - I always wondered why Hitler Hated the Jews so much and also why everyone thinks of him as “Extreme right” ? - I’ll set it up to start at minute 41 or thereabouts and the Jew thing is from minute 58 to the end.
The whole thing is really good but the bit I’ll link to is a sort of “Aha - Oh sh*t” moment - Anyhow give it a watch or don’t but it’s one that I’ve saved and will probably watch it a god many times in future.
yes - but this one is one of his degree level instructive lectures and he goes quite deep - He syas “Nazi-ism (National Socialist German Workers PArty) as a disease of civilisation” -
One thing ? One thing ?
but I know what you mean and thanks
Sadly they don’t - They don’t even know why they’re doing this
