1. Yep.They are all "Entertainment Tonight" now.Lazy, cowardly

Tabloid, celebrity journalism is a so much easier way to earn a living than actually investigating and reporting

2. What?

Did some one wake up and figure that out just now?

3. Agree. news as entertainment and clicks, but with agendae driven by parent companies. nt

4. That is a very kind description n/t

5. TV News went to shit

When the networks folded their News Divisions and put the news under their Entertainment Divisions. Since then, the news is all about “selling the sizzle” and no one is checking facts let alone confirming stories with two separate sources.

So where can an American find real news? I wish I could tell ya.

9. Agreement

I quit watching them a long time ago. Real facts, real news.............forget it. All I watch anymore is Rachel and Lawrence and I love DU for giving normal people a voice. Thank You, DU. I hope YOU do not change.

6. They're not very good at it, either.

7. TRUTH!!!

And our "news" is covered like a reality show. I swear events in Washington are influenced by media boards in effort to create our reality like The Truman Show.

That Capitol cop that's going to CNN was a hire for their upcoming 'Jan 6th Hearings Show' for the Summer season.

8. journalists - tv station's hire them from day labor places !!!

[Peacetrain]

10. Amen to that!!!

[Escurumbele]

12. And that is why "journalists" hate the movie "Don't look up"

A must watch, if you have not done so already.

13. We need

ugly news by ugly people with great content.
