“Jefferson said, “a mnn who doesn’t read the news everyday is uninformed, a man who does read the news everyday is misinformed.””
I don’t care that newspapers and the rest of the MSM lie. I would prefer they came out of the closet and announced they were the spokespeople for the Democrat party. Would make life a lot less stressful.
If you go back to the Civil War era newspapers clearly identified who they supported. This was most frequently occurred in their title banner or editorial pages.
For some reason about the turn of the century (the 18th turning into the 20th) this self identification of political/social orientation stopped. But, there was a balance in most large markets - two or more daily newspapers.
About the Viet Nam era (late 1950s onwards) newspapers started hiring, almost exclusively, graduates of journalism schools. The days of growing your own reporting staff died and the newspapers started dying.
What we are seeing today is only an acceleration of that trend. In the mid 1980s when I lasted moved the Sunday paper was quite robust - articles, opinion, news, and advertising. Now the Sunday paper is maybe the size of the old Thursday edition.
Me? I haven’t subscribed to the local paper in 15 + years. Why pay the salary and bonuses of people who either no clue or are so biased that you throw the paper in the trash before ou read half of it?
but the Orlando mass murderer Omar Mateen isn't a member of the NRA. He is a member of the Democratic Party, who voted for Obama twice, and worked as a subcontract security man for Homeland Security under Obama appointee Jeh Johnson.
It doesn't get much more obvious than the above... but yeah, they should come out of the closet and admit they rewrite DNC talking points...
