[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 2666022, member: 50088"] Just so people understand, prime time cable "news" don't do journalism. They are clearly labeled commentary. Why would one think Hannity, Maddow, or Don Lemon are pretending to be journalists as some posts here have suggested? Finding "straight news" journalism is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Even what is supposed to be straight news such as NBC Nightly News has leftism all over it. Almost any source reporting on politics naturally is delivered by someone who has their personal beliefs bleed through. Even when an organization believes they are reporting on "what happened", it is usually through their political lens which means it's actually not "pure fact" and is up to interpretation. Each side simply sees the same thing two very different ways. You can take Trump's Thursday news conference and it's coverage for example. Mainstream news described it as chaotic and unhinged and filled with lies. On the other hand, if you like Trump, you saw it as brilliant and the very reason why he just won an election. So which is true? [/QUOTE]
