I’m one of those who bash newspapers, but I’m not biased. I bash the TV news too. They won’t tell on their shareholders when they’re participating in corruption. They are protective of the corporations that own them. They’re protective of their advertisers.
When they’re able to report the news REGARDLESS of who they’re reporting about, then perhaps I’ll trust them again, but probably not. If a major shareholder of Knight Ridder and Gannett are breaking the laws, and the news media won’t report it, why should I support them?
Our local newspaper bashed the Republican Party and publicly announced it was supporting Obama. Like that’s going to build trust?
Besides, by the time a newspaper prints their headlines, it’s already old news on the Internet.
