Is the news media doing it's job?
After the reading of the articles of impeachment in Congress I went to the major media's web sites, ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN etc. and could not find any single reference to this news. It got me thinking about other "news" and the strange twists often applied to a single news item depending on the source. If news is supposed to be factual, how can there be different versions of the same facts? If there are no set facts yet, is it news or is it speculation? If it is speculation shouldn't people be told that what they are hearing is not news but an opinion, pending facts? Why are news outlets helping to cover up many of the President's blunders, lies and crimes? Is the news media doing it's job or is it putting profits and "entertainment" ahead of gathering and reporting facts about important subjects?
YES - the media is doing it's job by providing accurate information.NO - the media is failing American's need for accurate truthful informationUNDECIDED - Not sure if what I hear is accurate or not.BIASED MEDIA - distorts facts to lean a story toward a biased opinion of the subjects. 37 votes View Results and Comments
