The press feeds the people. It'll do anything it takes to get attention from the people and get their money. That's the game. A long way from being an independent voice with the aim of speaking truth to power. When the people in the main decided they couldn't give a shit about the big issues, or were powerless to influence those issues, so fell back on entertainment the press seized on that as an easy win. So blame the people. They get the press they deserve.Originally Posted by Globalgunner
Many of the same people are having a go at Trump. But when was that last time a US president stood on the podium and called out the media as fake? That was a big moment. It stung because it's truth. And the truth goes further than the media and lands right on the heads of the irresponsible and complacent people. That it has taken a man like Donald Trump to do this is an even greater indictment. When we all decide to get responsible and serious the press will follow along, because that's what they do. Same with the sports media. When they next descend on a man they have already set up to fail and rip him to shreds for the entertainment of the masses we'll all have a choice, let them away with it or show them it's unacceptable by withholding the thing they crave - money.
