I don't want a "liberal" media. I want a media which reports the news, and gives unbiased analysis without the "both sides" bullshit. It's really one of the things we need to survive as a democracy.
@LiberalLibrarian: That doesn't make the money like the editorialized news does. Cronkite, Rather, Safer, Jennings, and others said it in the '90s when the network news agencies were forced by the news execs and owners to make money for the networks like the entertainment programming.
@LiberalLibrarian: Affirmative. It was after the frenzy of mergers and acquisitions that started in the 1980s and megacorps going all out to diversify, which really was a way for them to leverage perceived value to get loans to buy other corporations in order to spread the colossal debts and debt servicing the parent company was sucking up and in the process artificially inflate stock prices.
@thedisasterautist Mmhmm. Once the wall between editorial and commercial came down, it was game over.
