58. It's the entire media conglomeration
Tue Dec 3, 2024, 01:45 PM
Dec 2024

is the issue. I read the same article from paper to paper, see it being commentated on from one tv station to another...unless it's local news, and even then, if the story goes national I'll pick up the same vibe. I remember one day I read where MSNBC had labeled Matt Gaetz as a "firebrand". I then noticed the label being used to describe him from one article to the next across the internet, whether it be AP, Washington Post, USA etc. I think it was at most a matter of days, before the label was being applied from one magat to another. So polite. It used to be newspapers were the only avenue of different takes on a news stories, but no more. Must be very difficult to get, and keep the job of a journalist these days.
