Meida hosts are like pre programmed robots- don't challenge or change with the facts

[wt1531]

They just blabber what they have been prepping for all day.
They don't adjust with new facts..they keep repeating the same lines like pre programmed robots.
There may be two polls showing two opposite things but they just stick to one that is to their liking and blabber away.

Like today or yesterday--forgot... i was watching Carol Castello's show on CNN.

She had this old rich guy who was a big Cruz supporter in the primaries and was bad mouthing Trump big time. Saying Cruz was the Christian guy in there and we need to nominate him blah blah.

Now he is a big Trump supporter and was bad mouthing Hillary and saying we need Trump in there, b/c that is the "Christian" thing to do, as if that makes any sense.

Carol challenged him about Trumps many controversies and then he said , (paraphrasing) "well people , as Christians, have to be able to forgive and vote for Trump b/c that is what Christ has taught us," blah blah blah.
I was expecting Carol to jump in and challenge him by saying, "How about Hillary?..Why can't the forgiving thing and giving her a chance thing work for her too? Isn't that a Christian thing to do??". To my disappointment, Carol sat quietly without challenging him with a big grin on her face. Media is sucking big time !!

1. US media sucks big time. It's mostly all flavors of propaganda and mindless hosts. n/t

2. I have to agree...they say a lot of things I don't like and are often silent when they shouldn't be.

Is that a deal with coming on the show..you won't get questioned or fact checked too much? As much as some of these surrogates lie I supposed all they would be doing is interrupting and fact checking. LOL

3. Correction. You won't get fact checked if your a

Trumpet. However, If your a Hill supporter expect to be talked over.

4. That's why I don't watch those programs...

I learned in the 90's; I knew more about an issue being discussed on talking head programs than the talking heads knew. I gather news online all day (and some nights too); I found the talking heads, e.g., Matthews, Geraldo Rivera (then on MSNBC), etc. were hours and hours behind what actually happened.

5. On air Talent and his or her's

verbal responses are dedicated by Producers and Directors. It is rare that anyone is allowed to go out side the bounders and if they do,the next show will look like a 180. You just do what your pay check demands. These are paid entertainers in a infotainment environment.
