I would agree, if the majority of MSM outlets actually HAD different views and agendas. Comparing it to news of old is not correct, as 90% of all of our readily accessible television and print ‘news’ comes from half a dozen corporations owned by a half dozen individuals. In days of yore, there were thousands of various publications owned by thousands of individuals.
If the MSM had varying views I would agree, but 9 out of 10 are constantly telling you: that the earth is in catastrophic shape from human-caused pollution(with no conclusive evidence whatsoever), that Paris Hilton is relevant(when hundreds of missing children in inner cities could possibly be found if they gave that extra 3.5 minutes every half-hour to them), that our troops are completely helpless and inept in Iraq and have made no difference(as its nothing more then Bush’s personal sandbox), and that Barack Obama has ANY semblance of competence or an inkling of a plan for being a president of this country…
We are taking for granted that in this ‘information’ filled world that our ‘news’ must be mostly accurate, when in fact the vast majority of MSN’s ‘investigative reporters’ get most of their facts from the first 5 things that come up in a Google search and the rest from their own personal opinions and those of their network.
