spread that far and wide among the talking heads

Those talking heads aren't impartial pundits, or principled conservatives, but rather paid lobbyists for niche industries. As someone said above, we've been lied to about free trade for years.

Always follow the money. My wife asked what information we can trust now? Not much. Information almost always has an agenda.

If you would avoid a conflict of interest don’t have one. Mass media has a built in conflict of interest from their sponsors to begin with. They always have. Politicians don’t want to have to deal with problems of working on short rations so they have high taxes, this benefits them in many ways.

Many are catching on that there isn’t normally enough important or valid news to provide good material for a 24 / 7 news feed. It is why we are bombarded with bull spit. Wall to wall coverage was an irregular thing 50 years ago and for special events we became tired of it having heard the spiel more than a few times already.

We have too much of the wrong kinds of news.
