I have no idea how liberals can justify anything going on in the country. I would love to hear an explanation on any hot topic in regards to why what his administration is doing is the correct thing. Literally any topic
But as long as the mainstream media doesn't acknowledge the chaos, do the sheep even realize that it exists?
What's going on with our "free and impartial press" in this country is nothing but criminal at this point... they've been bought and sold to the Democratic Party. Period.
Quote:
"...that was also when the progressive movement promoted the notion that the proper function of the media was to instruct and shape the opinions of voters too uninformed and irrational to be trusted with making the right choice based on facts alone."
This quote could be from 2012, looking back at the first half of the Obama presidency, or a rear-facing assessment of press coverage of Trump's term.
It's a historical assessment of the Hearst - Pulitzer newspaper competition in the 1890's.
For better or worse, there's more a history of a partisan American press than an impartial press, dating back 130 years or more.
The media being biased editorializers or even outright advocates of partisan positions is ingrained in the fabric of American media.
