Blog pimping is most unattractive.

The results...should be a clanging wake-up call for journalists and editors...

Don't count on it.

They'll just take it as a call to up their propaganda game.

The press does not care about this. Their bias is so brazen today that it is clear they are no longer trying to hide it.

When their lies result in job loss they might change. They are rewarded for lying. As a result the industry attracts the best liars in the world.

The problem with the press is, it has been liberal for so long that only liberals apply. So, the media has self-selected for liberalism. Also, no conservative could pass the education filter, which selects for liberalism. Can you imagine what would happen to a conservative student in a liberal class taught by a liberal teacher at a liberal university? Not only would he be ostracized, he would be threatened and harassed. Liberals won’t do this because they think about it, they’ll do it because that is what they are. In the end, no liberal could pass a test because he’s “wrong.”

You can’t reform the media. That would be like asking a cheetah to become a vegetarian. It can’t. Vegetarianism is not in its nature.

Media bias is nothing new. As a watcher of classic movies, it’s been going on since stone tablets. IMO, the only differences are in times like this, or NAZI Germany, or Stalin’s Russia, that things really become obvious. I have zero use for propagandists.

JMO, but the problem news organizations face remains the one which brought down titans of American industry like GM.

Managers who focus on “making dough” instead of making dough. US business culture, in a relentless focus on money instead of results, has foisted this upon all industries, not just car makers or news outlets. Anyone here remember the executive dining rooms at GM, along with the heated parking garages? At a time when said managers were dismantling Alfred P. Sloane’s carefully crafted strategy of differentiated brands to “save money”?

Milking a company dry while failing to invest in workers, processes, and innovation kills any business. Tolerance of the second-rate and slipshod will help to promote an out-of-touch elite, to the detriment of the Republic.

It's only Democrats who think the media understands them (58% say they do).

Speaking to the choir, that's why!

Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention about today’s managers of industry, to include news organizations.

Lack of brains in management is killing their companies. Too many lack critical thinking skills (can’t think more than one step ahead), have a provincial outlook on things (gotta conform to “elites”), and utterly fail to make hard right decisions instead of easy wrong ones.

That last one comes from a lack of moral fiber, from the exclusion of Judeo-Christian values throughout society. Only He can fix the ills in our society these days.

Not news. It’s an agenda.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
