In reply to the discussion: Do You Think the Commercial Media Is Corrupt? Unfair? Biased? [View all]Skidmore
(37,364 posts)7. You know, MM, you are absolutely right.
And then I recall the infighting and grousing around Air America, which didn't thrive because it was never left enough when the majority of those broadcasters were taking real chances a difficult time. The same is true for MSNBC, which has some fine investigative reporters and has been willing to fact check over the last few years. We don't have that many outlets that are readily available with a more liberal mass appeal. We shoot our own by insisting that screamers drown out reasonable voices. You can't insist that others honor free speech when you won't yourself.
