Media USED to be pictures/films of "things that happened". It was "who, what, when , where"..with NO editorial commentary....

Commentary was reserved for the editorial pages of the papers, and news magazines.

News now is a "show" with highly paid hosts..with the same "news" reported by every "show"on whatever network 24-7
