I grew up in a time when the news media gave both sides of the story. When truth mattered more than politics. When cover-ups were unmasked and people forced to accept responsibility for their actions. Today, scandals are ignored.
It was called freedom of the press; now it is a propaganda machine for those you like. Where is the responsibility of the press? Media print or broadcast only their side and everyone else is racist, hate-mongers and more. They say everyone has rights but rights come with responsibility. Media denigrate our soldiers who are dying in countries around the world, where once the media listed them by name every night.
Media mock, call names about anyone with a different point of view but the stupidity and lies of the media favorites are ignored. Media seem to believe that they are right and everyone else is wrong. Ironically, they seem to forget that almost half the people who voted, voted for the other guy. The one they made fun of. The one who had business experience, knew how to help the economy and who would have gotten our people back to work by now.
Maybe it’s time for a funeral for the freedom of the press and the rights of free speech because all honor is gone from the press corps.
