Who do we listen to?

Most of America used to read the news from newspapers every morning and get their news on TV stations such as NBC, CBS and ABC after work every night. That was the primary source of news. These sources of news are often called "Media" or "Mainstream Media". All of these are going out of business and are bankrupt, there is severe decline in readership and/or viewership. Does anyone know why ?

I will tell you why in a minute. Before I do, I wanted to mention a few things about Reporters. It used to be the case that reporters were taught to follow a "code" when reporting news. A good reporter was known for remaining unbiased and representing views from both sides of an argument. Many reporters around the world continue this practice of sharing both views, however, most of the reporting done in newspapers today and the "mainstream media" do not do this at all. In fact, they are extremely biased toward "democrats".

So if you ask why the mainstream media is going bankrupt and losing viewership/readership, it seems to correlate exactly with the decline of being unbiased. Over the last decade I have personally observed the change in the media to only report one-side and show stark treatment of the news. Most people have caught on and as they do catch on, they stop watching or listening and get their news from other sources. Now there are several sources to obtain news, and people are choosing those alternative sources.

There are many examples of this bias, I will cite a couple here. In the last year of President Bush's term in office, the news on a daily basis told story after story about how bad the economy was. Now, while Obama is President, the economy is significantly worse than last year, yet no stories are reported about the bad economy at all. I have not even seen one. The news might quickly state what the unemployment figure is, but the media quickly glosses over it and tries to spin it in a positive way. They have spun it in positive ways by stating things like "the unemployment looks like it is stagnant and it should rise". But no stories are provided, nothing more elaborated. The media takes every opportunity to politicize the news, when they should not. This in fact leads to people leaving mainstream media for alternative sources.

If you are in denial about this, please take a personal invesment in watching the news from different sources and then make your own conclusion. It is impossible to deny what has happened and what is happening here. Also, if you can look at the news in foreign countries vs here. You will find that the media here idolizes and worships Obama not saying one thing, or questioning one thing he is doing. Yet in foreign countries, it is the opposite. I will say no more. They illustrate exactly who they are for those who pay attention.
