I heard that CNN viewership has exploded 40% this year due to COVID 19.

Car wrecks, fires and drug dealer shenanigans.... that’s the news.

Does any body actually give a damn.

Obituaries, sports and grocery ads keep the local papers alive

I don’t know, but Tucker has spawned a new news and commentary delivery style. Saagar has his intonations down perfectly. (Saagar’s producer however still has aome work to do in chunking the text down to five-word sentences that a third grader could follow.)

If the corrupt news media you know.... told the truth and gave the who, what, where, when and why they would not have the problems they do as the internet has many sites that do accurately report a story.

more than a quarter of the country’s newspapers have disappeared. In the same fifteen-year span, the number of local journalists working in newsrooms has dropped by half

I other words:
The people aren't buying our propaganda anymore and we need tax money to spread our lies and misinformation.

Agree that not all did anything to expose corruption then, either.

There is a recent DVD set release for the old show Deadline. It was about true case stories of news reporters who risked their lives to go undercover or challenge thugs for information and then printed it.

Show says it was when reporters were heroes. As if saying when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

We’re not. A bunch of self-important journ-o-lists who realize they are on the verge having to man Burger King drive-thrus to pay the rent are. (you don’t expect them to get REAL jobs now, do you?)


I am offended at your disgust of burger-flippers not being a REAL job. But then again your butler and maid shouldn’t think they have a REAL job either considering on who they are servicing. What no maid, no butler? Get a REAL job!
