Who’s to the Blame for the Media?

Let’s clarify. The media as a whole is an important foundational pillar of American democracy. Collectively, it is NOT “the enemy of the people” – it represents and serves the people.

That said, there are media outlets and journalists (on ALL sides of the political spectrum) that are not meeting their professional responsibility to the general public…in terms of transparency, objectivity, and reliability.

But everyone here is accountable. Many (most?) citizens want this biased reporting and storytelling, or those publications wouldn’t be thriving as they are. And our political parties are responsible for giving the media (and in turn the people) so much negative fodder and BS on which to fixate. Fix the root cause here – our political silliness – and you’ll fix the media.
