American journalism is collapsing before our eyes

[Locutus]

Donald Trump may or may not fix his campaign, and Hillary Clinton may or may not become the first female president. But something else happening before our eyes is almost as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it.

The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand-in-hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations.

The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America.

Sure it is. Drama sells stories ... not truth

Newspapers are a bargain these days what with the high price of toilet paper.

People are again starting to verify what the Government promotes. Some decades back there were watch groups that did investigations that were accurate as far as the players and the details. The news media and legal system are slow to pick up on the criminal activities which is to be expected when they are part of the problem.

I agree that quality journalism must remain objective.

Any honest consumer of American journalism has known for years that it tends to tilt left but in this presidential news cycle it has removed all pretense of trying to being remotely unbiased with its coverage. Whether or not you like Donald Trump is irrelevant to the fact that journalists are supposed to strive to be impartial. No longer, it seems.

Indeed, no foreign enemy, no terror group, no native criminal gang, suffers the daily beating that Trump does. The mad mullahs of Iran, who call America the Great Satan and vow to wipe Israel off the map, are treated gently by comparison.
​

By torching its remaining credibility in service of Clinton, the mainstream media's reputations will likely never recover, nor will the standards. No future producer, editor, reporter or anchor can be expected to meet a test of fairness when that standard has been trashed in such willful and blatant fashion.
​

Liberal bias in journalism is often baked into the cake. The traditional ethos of comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable leads to demands that government solve every problem. Favoring big government, then, becomes routine among most journalists, especially young ones.

​

even the most obvious of prog drones, have to admit this fact. this election is the dems and nearly all media vs donald trump. similar to how all the so-called media here were convinced, mind-fukked or bullied by gerry butts and the big money prog backers to pile-on against stephen harper. it was the media party vs the conservative party.

we told you so.

Everyone is so horrified at the prospect of an insane man like Trump taking power that they have all become extremely partisan. ANYBODY BUT TRUMP has become the mantra of the news media, the Democrats and now a fair contingent of Republicans.

Fortunately, the dumb hillbilly constituency doesn't vote much. Maybe, they're just too "tared".

no...they know who butters their bread fred.

because if they were as you say, doing the nation a favor, they wouldn't mind telling us all of their good deed.

Oh FFS, he's a goddamned megalomaniac idiot who thinks Putin is cool, is actually suggesting leaving Nato, and is yapping off about building a wall to keep out all the Mexican Rapists.

The only one who is destroying Trump's Presidential run is Donald Trump (who I believe has no interest in being President in the first place). What he has accomplished is the destruction of the Republican Party and handing the power hungry morally corrupt Hillary Clinton the presidency who could have been beaten by Napoleon Dynamite, had he run.

This moron and those who support him have cut off their political noses to spite their face.

They may as well checked Hillary on the ballot.

I should add that there is no need to compromise objectivity to undermine Trum. He does a good job of it himself.

The 'hillbillies" as you call them, usually vote conservative although there are many liberal rednecks too. Blanket statements based upon what you read in comic books shows your knowledge.

The article is ridiculous.

First, the NY Post is doing exactly to Hillary what it claims the media is doing to Trump.

Second, Trump is a media creature. He wouldn't exist if it weren't for the media. It is estimated that he received over a billion dollars in free publicity from this awful, biased media during the primaries. Other Republican candidates complained about it.

So you let the media set the narrative .
Good for you .

If this is the case, then why do news orgs like CNN feel the need to play up Clinton and criticise Trump? It suggests that the media has a real fear of Trump winning the election.

Some of the media have lost their objectivity. They feel they must protect the voters from themselves. Do they believe that millions of Americans are incapable of making a rational decision on election day?

We continue to live in interesting times.

Nice try, blaming the media for Trumps sudden reversal in the polls is like blaming dung beetles for the smell of poop. I agree that the 24 hour news cycle in the USA is a sh!t show.

Take your pick: Fox, Msnbc, Cnn, they all have lousy journalistic standards, but Trump keeps saying stupid stuff, so let's be honest about why the Orange Menace is suddenly lagging behind in the polls.

Or you can accuse me of letting the media set the narrative.

Whatever.

Nothing new. When Newspapers like the Los Angeles Times Owned by the powerful Chandler family had their day in the sun, political careers were made and destroyed by the influence of this media. Always been a rigged game with the outcomes being a result of media manipulation.

Here's a hint >>>>$

Money is always in play, but I don't think that this is the overriding concern here.

The overriding concern is that nothing is genuine. Nothing.
