1) Reporters are by nature, "fight the power" types.
2) They are all trying to be the next Woodward and Bernstein.
3) They think that they represent the little guy. You know who the big guy is? Rich people.
Somewhere along the road of journalism "journalists" became opinion givers. Reporting the news has become secondary to them.
Mainstream media skews liberal, because it is dominated by intelligent, thinking individuals who are not easily swayed by "sound bytes" and "emotional arguments". . . .
Right wing media (Fox, Limbaugh, etc.) skews conservative because of greed and fear, and their knowledge that the uneducated and undereducated will respond to emotional arguments. . .
Not a very pretty picture, is it?
The media is not liberal, it's fully centralized and corporatized. If it weren't, they wouldn't have sold the war. The whole notion that the media is liberal is right wing propaganda.
Unfortunately for the rightwingers, nobody's buying that story anymore.
Also it's absurd to call MSM broadcasts "intelligent". The Nightly news dialog on any channel is at about a 5th grade reading level.
I think these times give us just glimpse of maybe how Germany happened to stumble.
Exactly. I've been reading a lot of old Nazi propaganda transcripts ever since we got BushCo. I always wondered how they ever sold that lemon to the German people. Learning first hand how a nation could be sold a phony war against a false enemy under false pretenses was about the only redeeming quality of the 8 miserable years of BushCo. All the rest was death and robbery, hard lessons that produce nothing beneficial.

The Germans were very desperate though, and this is where the Obama factor kicks in. It's somehow two sides of a coin- a bias of some sort and then also desperation.
If Obama were to win the election, and then take off his face and show himself to be a scoundrel, this nation will be in dire straits. Now, I don't think that will happen. But just the knowledge we're that far down the ladder is somewhat troubling, right- left and center.
When you have an organization promoting the interest of a Billionaire Australian How would a fair representation ever happen? Shame on All the Clear Channel stations, and FauxNews. Some people say yours nothing factual just promoting King Ruperts interest and the REpublicans.
