There was a speech given by Sharyl Attkisson explaining the issue with today’s “journalism”. In short, the slanted media is what is being taught in school and writing slanted articles that please the corporate owner will get rewarded. Truth has no place under the current environment. However, there is hope. Link to the speech: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4bxI803q6i8 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4bxI803q6i8

Her Wikipedia entry states that she formerly worked for an outfit funded by the Heritage Foundation, and now Sinclair. She also is involved in anti-vaccine reporting and tries to link autism to vaccines. So sounds more like the pot calling the kettle black.

  You’ve kinda conveniently skipped over her 21 year stint at CBS. Maybe she did just go off the deep end, I can’t vouch for her credibility myself, but I think you’ve gotta consider the possibility that she’s speaking about problems she saw from personal experience.

    I think it’s fair to wonder who is monetarily behind her stating as such when the entire problem is that moneyed interests are creating slanted pieces. It could entirely be that this itself is a moneyed interest creating a slanted piece. However I still think it’s quite useful, just that I’d want a second opinion that might also be being paid to be slanted in another way. Somewhere in between is truth maybe.

    Not really, the entry states she left CBS because they weren't pushing Benghazi enough in her opinion ... following which she moved to stints with a Heritage funded outfit and Sinclair. Both clearly partisan organizations and both instances of "rewarding the corporate funders" while pushing misinformation. So yes, pot meet kettle.

  You speak out, you get slandered. Thanks for helping prove the original point.

Indeed. The boring Truth has been drowned in favor of outrage and sensationalism. Sometimes I think there should be a World Press Abuse of Freedom Index.
