"Media Culture of Corruption"
At some media outlets, bias is openly transparent...
Vincent Fiore writes about the "Media Culture of Corruption":
"The story here is not the liberalism that dominates newsrooms across America, but the media’s unflinching willingness to be guided by it. In most cases, even the pretense of journalistic fairness has faded, so consciously committed to the politics of liberalism are today’s news organizations.
A while back, I forwarded the notion that the mainstream media were engaging in a “soft coup d’etat” of the country’s political process, and I echo that here today. Instead of blood and bullets to enact a takeover, the media use headlines and editorials.
Often penning front page parables that more often reflect wishful thinking than fact, the mainstream media hope that you do not take notice of their own culture of corruption in regard to the news.
But if you did take notice, you would know that most of what you read and hear from today’s “guardians of society” is intellectually dishonest because it is politically motivated, and that is that. It is, without preamble, a media culture of corruption that plays itself out daily in our newsrooms and on television."
