This sort of crap is one of the reasons why I took the step, some months ago, of having my cable TV service disconnected. And you know something? I haven’t missed it at all.
Nor do I miss the newspapers I gave up reading twenty years ago. And this from someone who used to subscribe to two daily newspapers, three weekly newsmagazines, and who had CNN on almost 24/7.
But the media’s trend to the Left became a stampede, to the point that there is no Liberal “bias”, but rather a full-bore, blind, unquestioning acceptance of the radical leftist view of the world.
These days, I get my news and information from websites – like Pajamas Media – with a proven history of accuracy, and a willingness to admit to and correct errors. Note that I did not say “unbiased”; such a condition is impossible in any enterprise operated by Man. But accuracy and responsibility are possible, and are available on the Web for people who bother to look.
Some have moved to defund PBS/NPR. There are some things that these organizations can do better than commercial media – education, documentaries, etc. But the overwhelming bias can, and must be, eliminated – even if that means dismantling the organizations and rebuilding them from the ground up.
