I've been scanning the news and, as usual, the news is 10:1 anti-Trump. If there is any possible way to spin it, the media spins it to reflect bad on Trump. He is giving his POTUS salary to charity but the media spun that as he lied because he said he was not going to take a salary.

I think part of the media bias is of Trump's own making. He has gone out of his way to insult the media and to me, that is just stupid. But I guess he figured that him bashing the MSM helped him get elected so he is staying with what worked.

ABC News has sunk to National Enquirer gossip column reporting:

You would think someone in MSM would realize the damage they are doing to their own credibility with their nonstop, blatant anti-Trump bias.

I appreciate your brevity and optimism and look forward to your next syllable. Maybe not dead but certainly at death's door. The internet changed the world.....we live in the age of information now the media has lost it's power over the masses.

For centuries in Europe the 'church' controlled most of what the people knew. They had the money and the infrastructure to reach the masses. With the invention of the printing press, more people could be 'informed' and the owners of newspapers became very rich and powerful. Radio and TV then took over and the 'networks' ruled the world and determined what the public needed to know on daily basis. Now the internet has created a means for anyone with a computer can reach millions of people! Now anyone that can type or talk can reach millions or tens of millions. Do you need a journalism degree to be a talking head for CNN or FOX or ABC? Nope. Just need to be able to talk....and have some sort of personality.

And that is my version of the history of the world part I.

YMMV

No, but all the good journalists are....or at least retired.

Agree that it's not dead, but it's definitely changing.  Thanks to the internet the days of "state media" where the message is controlled and people are told "what to think" is dead.  This is a really good thing for Conservatism, but a very bad thing for liberalism.  ;-

I don't really think it's dead per se, but has lost most of its credibility(at least with the main stream media ). Maybe not the journalist themselves, yet the likes of Sorros who control the narrative. I'm done with it.

I remember a joke I read about the Soviets back in the 1970s.

An American and a Russian were in a race. The American won.

Pravda headline: "Russian comes in second, American comes in next-to-last.
