If you criticize "Liberal Media" for not being factual and objective...then what about "Conservative Media?"

Has the media ever been unbiased? Just wondering.

From what I know, newspapers back in the day must have been plastered with lurid headlines about Jack the Ripper. They love it when there's a tragedy or scandal because it sells more newspapers (updated to watch more tv, listen to more radio.)

The more they exaggerate, they more money they make. And we know that money rules--everywhere, not just in this country. It works to a point. When I see some garbage newspaper like The National Enquirer or the UK Daily Mirror, I don't bother because that's fiction. As for extreme right wing media that I've never even heard of, I don't understand what their agenda is. Money? Power? As I said, it works...to a point. At some point people realize how inaccurate and stupid it is and they stop paying attention.

Let's ignore the fact that the vast majority of the media is leftism propaganda and let's focus on the drop in the bucket.

Being biased is one thing, but being a propaganda is another.

But I heard a lot of arguments over the last two days about how conservatives want Liberal Media to be "factual" and "objective" rather than so biased. Alright, that sounds laudable. We can all agree on that.

But what say you to Conservative Media? I see a lot of the same people who criticize Liberal Media posting around links from Breitbart, Infowars, Townhall, etc...you know the sites. So are those factual and objective?

What about all media? When did it become media's responsibility to do anything other than report? When did they decide to choose sides and help their team win? I'll tell you why. Media sways elections, politicians spend money on media. They take care of each other and there's billions at stake.

It's not about who's right or wrong, it's about money.

All media, especially MSM, is slanted in some way for profit/to toe company line.

The MSM slants Left as a whole but the bottom line is the same: act as an agent for the International Banking Families in controlling the populace to ensure further continuation of statism via currency control.
