It's worsened over the last say 6ish years as the average trust in media institutions has fallen and for good reason.

(BP) Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 Vince should be gone, but I’m reasonably sure if he’s bored enough he’s going to get into politics and just make everything worse. 1

And arguably, years before. 3

Chaos Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 14 minutes ago, Greggulator said: What's the good reason? The broad polarization on your heavy corporate media channels. Too much are driven along ideology or party lines or for clicks or whatever. Or even will cover something "in the moment" that maybe contradicts how they covered something months or a year or two prior. That's why you're seeing a rise in stuff like substack and patreon at the moment. (Although, that stuff will probably take a huge hit with the recession). I originally wanted to go into journalism before circumstances took me in a different path. I also gather news from a variety of sources and almost never from tv.
NikoBaltimore Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) On 7/8/2022 at 11:15 AM, John from Cincinnati said: Mr. McMahon said in an interview with Playboy magazine published in 2001 that he had been unfaithful to Mrs. McMahon with multiple women in prior years but had put a stop to the affairs after realizing “the havoc you create in others’ lives, just from wanting to have a good time.” This line from 21 years ago stood out more than anything. I personally don't believe in Heaven or Hell, but if there is one I sure hope when his time comes he's feeling the fiery flames. I was loving the joking mood from last month but this time I just feel horrible for all involved and frankly pissed off that this fucker has been doing this for so long. It's a sign of how capitalism works at times and it really stinks. I know this is a thing Natural does but you know what fuck it. Fuck Vince McMahon. Edited July 10, 2022 by NikoBaltimore 3 2

SirSmUgly Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 I give a monthly donation to Pro Publica, but I should probably do more. It's hard to find sources of journalism that aren't overwhelmed by institutional biases. I usually stick to Pro Publica and the PBS Newshour crew. 3

I know the difference, but I know too many people who get their news from opinion. Also objecting opinion into news is very human and even happens in mostly objective reports.

I don't think anything has changed how this country works over my lifetime than 24 hour news networks, and how 75% of the "news" people consume isn't news at all. 4

I was actually having this discussion earlier this morning with someone about how biases even predate the current climate. Look at some stuff from the yellow journalism era or the racial south. There's a story I vaguely recall in an American Lit class that shows excerpts from a Times Picayune story that's beyond alarming. There's other more recent examples too that exist out there.

Good luck getting that to happen and why would Vince let it happen? The only way Vince doesn't touch or breathe on WWE to influence it is if he's behind bars and none of this looks like that. Yet.
