NBC's Lester Holt was awarded the Edward R. Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award from Washington State University. In his speech he says how important it is as a news reporter to call out and push back on "falsehoods," that are made by our political leaders.

However, NBC has an entire network devoted to propaganda - MSNBC. That's not a newsgathering operation. So, although Lester is correct in theory, his own network doesn't practice what he is preaching. Especially when it comes to Donald Trump!"

News is dead now. Mostly lies.

Response: Opinion

And this is why I have cut the chord.
No more cable box in the house.
No more self promoting media narratives.

Internet only. I choose the nutrition that
feeds my grey matter.

Haven't felt this good in years....................

Cable companies are working hard against this. Making internet only more and more money.

The NFL and NBA have had dropping ratings ever since players started kneeling for the anthem -- despite mega corporations trying to prop up the "woke" athletes and their woke message. Corporate America is now adopting the leftist wokism to sell more products and so they can appear to be hip, cool, and "with it".

Why would anybody start a business if not to make money?

Media outlets give their customers what they want to watch.

Some people are still confused about cable tv.

The Equal Time and Fairness doctrine were rescinded by POTUS Reagan at the request of Roger Ailes and others to make way for Rush Limbaugh and Fox. Just because the FOX tag line is Fair and balanced does not mean it is.

What rule or law said any media could not have a POV? Nobody ever.

He was a victim of leftists after Trump won the election, they did a early version of cancel culture and went after him and anyone else that they could - including forming boycotts of Ivanka Trump's clothing line which managed to shut it down. So now we have close to state media for the Democratic party for news, after many of the good and honest hosts like Bill O'Reilly [and others] have been shut down.
