As you hear or read news, do you swallow all things said trustingly? Do you search for substantiation of claims and statements made.
In the era of Edward R. Murrow, journalists risked much to search for and deliver facts.
That standard is dead.
If it lived, the viewer and audience would follow a journalist's queries and investigation of assertions. Congressman Adam Schiff wouldn't have been invited to liberal cable networks repeatedly to look into the camera, at the viewer, and promise more evidence of Russian collusion existed- when he knew the following. There had been zero collusion, there would be no more. Compulsive narrative more like it would have been the result of "digging".
In this Presidential election, two "known" leaders compete. If I was a journalist worthy of the title, I would ask, in what way was #45 a dictator? How does opening border walls benefit the citizens of our country? How does the U.S. enable Iran, the state sponsor of terrorism, while tying Ally Israel's hands and feet in THEIR war for THEIR SURVIVAL? How does "democracy" differ from "our democracy", as we live the OUR one during 46's term? It's not really his term. It's only since 6/27 the media "decided" by the powers that be- who we can't identify- that it's time to stop hiding and pretending that #46 is ill and unable to lead. But that has been the fact, while Mrs. 46 and Obama staffers continue #44's agendas. Journalists worth their salt would be telling you this and you would trust them.
Today, Maddow, Morning Joe, Network news, Psaki, are part of the scripted braid (lockstep) of the Progressive approach to their idea (you hear that word much) of what democracy should be! Absent journalists, find the whistleblowers and do your own thinking instead of swallowing the pablum by the shovel.
