The weird part is everyone forgetting in a week or two...

The media is on the side of the wealthy, because that's the whole reason they bought the media in the first place.

This isn't the first time, been happening since newspapers were cutting edge. It's the natural result of deregulating journalism. So ething both parties do at almost every opportunity.

All the shit going on now with the media can be traced back to Slick Willy in the 90s.

I dunno. Between Hilary emails and Steele Dossier, I feel like MSM is afraid of being used in manipulation schemes.

Whether by foreign agents or even Trump campaign leaking information themselves, baiting media to release a bland report full of already public information just so he can change the narrative back to Government and MSM colluding against him or whatever BS he wants to spew.

If there is any little reported or good stuff, they can now just research and find their own story and leave out the whole "hack "

Robert could have dumped this stuff anywhere.

Can probably be traced back to the Hearsts in the 1940s.

It baffles me that Americans don’t properly fund their public broadcaster

deregulating journalism

Journalism was never regulated. Doing so would regulate speech. Aka, a violation of the constitution. Perhapse television was regulated, but not journalism.

Also if you regulate journalism it's going to be regulated to say what politicians want, or at least their donors.
