Published on Jul 16, 2012 by [link:RussiaToday|http://www.youtube.com/user/RussiaToday]

Bias and bungled reporting on US news networks are behind plummeting audience numbers, according to the Gallup Poll. RT's Marina Portnaya looks at a cutting-edge project that's encouraging ordinary Americans to drive their country's news agenda instead.

regarding the ACA decision -- ScotusBlog got it right when the MSM got it wrong and then the MSM checked Scotus Blog and realized they were wrong. Dan Rather was fired in 2004 after he was fact checked by the internet.

The internet is where news gets covered first.

As it stands now, your defense of the conservatives and the financial elites has undermined your ability to maintain an audience.

Maybe Main stream media will go the way of the Dinosaur... or figure out that we want the truth, not a bunch of corporate held opinions in favor of making Corporations richer.
