Does the US media exist to sell propaganda or to present actual news?

Question

It seems as if news programs are shifting away from actual news stories to what sells...like celebrity gossip for instance. What's worse, propaganda for both the right and left is being marketed as news. How do you wade through the massive amounts of information and take anything of value away?

Answer 1

Remember when an ugly man with bad hair could read the news .Now its all plastic surgery junkies talking about things that mean nothing to the average person except to occupy our minds and manipulate the weak . Fox promotes the right , CNN promotes the left ( mostly ) . To wade through the information , take everything with a grain of salt and use your common sense . Also , read Noam Chompsky , he writes about this sort of stuff .

Answer 2

The US media has become largely irrelevant. Particularly, the New York Times, The LA Times, the Sacramento Bee, etc. Check out Fox News, Investors Business Daily, CSM, etc. The liberals are not fooling anyone. They are a cancer within the American society.

Answer 3

You must be talking about Rupert Murdoch's Fox news and the lie they tell all the time,"fair and balanced" Watch out for people that praise this network and rely largely on it for all their news. They love to brand people as liberal and then they right them off. These fools are the ones you have to watch out for. They make me sick.

Answer 4

You must be talking about CBS News, they will sort out the details for you so you don't have to figure it out yourself. Thanks, Katie for telling me how I should feel about the news and only the parts you want me to know.
Give me the facts, all of them!

Answer 5

They print anything that sells papers, even outright lies.
