I look at it like this. They are cutting back on jobs at their newspapers. Eventually it will dawn on them why this is happening. Right now, a Drudge link keeps them on life support.

Media that report opinion as news should lose their First Amendment privileges. The guaranty is for a free press, not a free ad agency.

Media free fall will continue. Daily News (NY) put itself up for bid-highest bid was $1. They rejected it.

American journalism is full of deluding, misleading and befooling of american people.
But good news is that the EU journalism is not better.
Both American and the EU news outlets are spreading BS and are distributors of the western lying propaganda that supports banker's and the big transnational corporation's plans.

Default RIP American journalism

Yes, it really is different now. Journalists have always been biased, but now they have openly become cheerleaders rather than just biased journalists. It's no wonder that Americans trust in the media is at an all time low.
------------
Donald Trump may or may not fix his campaign, and Hillary Clinton may or may not become the first female president. But something else happening before our eyes is almost as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it.

The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand-in-hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations.

The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America.

The largest broadcast networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — and major newspapers like The New York Times and Washington Post have jettisoned all pretense of fair play. Their fierce determination to keep Trump out of the Oval Office has no precedent.

I recall reading about wretched AJ in the CW, 1898, Vietnam, so you know it appears to be cyclical.

Putin laughs, congratulates him on his diplomatic skills, but told him he's not persuaded that weapon system would not be meant as a threat to Russia. Putin then goes on to say why not build the US economy up and create US jobs by investing US tax dollars into pharmaceutical cures and other humanitarian causes, why he asks spend it on weapons that cause such mass destruction and push Russia and America closer to the brink of nuclear war.

Has the US mainstream news sources reported this to the American public at all? No. Yet it is all on video and you can hear the US ambassador speaking in English (the Russians speak over him and provide captions in Russian, but you can still hear his comments in clear English if you listen closely).

It's amazing when you go on YouTube and listen to Putin himself and speaking either before his own Russian people (he routinely sits for question and answer shows with them) or international journalists. He is 360 degrees different than US news portrays him as a lunatic mad man void of reason or statesmanship. He speaks more diplomatically and rationally than either Hilary Clinton or Trump..
You are correct and you see the situation soberly.
I am jew but fluent in Russian, and am watching/listening to Putin's conferences, speeches and statements without a translator. But what I see the american media saying after is total BS, misinterpretation, misrepresentation and warmongering lie. Putin intentionally demonized by the western propaganda, meanwhile Putin is perhaps the only world leader on our planet who is truthful, peaceful, sane and open to any constructive cooperation with any country. Putin is not enemy of the american people at all. He is enemy to the globalist profiteers who are ruling America actually. Obama serviced them and their interests, not the american people. Now they choose Hillary who will work for them. And all the Shillary voters should know that!

No I do not support any bias. What I do understand that parts of news are editorial and show bias. But there are also investigative parts that do not show bias. Seems a lot of folks do understand this and throw the baby out with the bath water. You know who would agree with me? Steve Bannon.

The orange maniac is a unique threat to American democracy and any media outlet not exposing just what a joke his candidacy is is frankly not doing their job imo.
