When I think about traditional journalism - pure established facts, presentation of cause and effect, sequence of events and cohesive conclusion-making come to mind.
Granted, we are not living in the past. But at the very least some semblance of integrity should be drawn out of a "News" channel.
Now, I've long lost hope of people lifting their Trump tinted glasses, trying to critically think for themselves, basing their thought-processes on undisputed facts on the ground (i.e. "We did see him on stage prior to the Jan 6 riots, saying what he was saying", "He did stipulate he would not be accepting the results, if he were ever to lose the elections" just to name a few), but - post-Dominion-Voting-Systems debacle, a sane, rational human being, with a chunk of brain between their ears would surely come to realize they've been regurgitating on unprecedented manure-for-truth hyperbole, that's had nothing to do with empirical facts on the ground.
So, as a bystander, what do I make of it - emotion blinds, needing to feel a part of a social group blinds, being protected by like-minded peers blinds.
Is it not the case? Am I the blind man here?
When CNN and MSNBC start dealing in "...pure established facts, presentation of cause and effect, sequence of events and cohesive conclusion-making..." get back to us. Until then stfu
