Cable News is fake news. The NY Times broke the Clinton email server story. They do good work. HOWEVER. Real journalists get tossed in with the fake ones because journalists don't self-police. They look the other way when lies about MAGA people are told. Which means...
Journalists have turned this stuff into tribalism. When fellow reporters smear or lie or even fake news, they look away. Which means for the sake of survival, Trump and MAGA must call all journalism fake news. Simple game theory. It's not sustainable, and ends badly for all.
Here's an example of media bias in action. Scott Pelly is a good guy, but he took the Clinton campaign at its word. And COULD NOT explain why anyone should do this. As if Clinton were more trustworthy than Trump. Leading to this moment.https://twitter.com/60Minutes/status/846150373551288320 …
Clinton staffer Philippe Reines was sexually harassing journalists DURING THE CAMPAIGN. This did not get reported at the time. That's media bias in action.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/book-party/wp/2018/04/20/amy-chozick-covered-hillary-clinton-for-a-decade-heres-what-she-learned-and-what-she-endured/ …
Americans have a fundamental sense of fair play, and it's clear to all that the rules are different for conservatives. And it doesn't have to be this way! In fact, "the market" is moving away from the cable news model. Enter podcasts.
Who controls the media? Advertisers. Right now the ad money goes to cable news, which is inherently biased, but podcasts and long form conversation are in the rise. But the market shows the majority of people want long-form, unedited content.
Media is inherently self-referential (media-on-media stories), and thus they are missing a trend. People on left like Dave Rubin, JP, Weinstein are drawing thousands of people REGULARLY, and Moly doing same on the right. How many CNN town halls would attract those crowds?
Short form, edited content gets well-funded because advertisers haven't made the switch. But the real, organic demand is for long-form video. "Show us both sides, show us the facts, let us decide." Yet you don't see podcasts reported on much, other than when attacked.
We are still in transition phase. Cable subscriptions subsidize networks, but when users - especially under 40 - have a choice, they choose podcasts. This isn't a trend. Human connection is universal. And legacy media, especially with the built-in biases, won't influence 20204.
The REAL trends, not outrage stuff on TV, is trending in the right direction - Human connection, long form content, which is both critical, empathetic. In the short term, however, it gets worse - Livelihoods destroyed - Shootings + bombings We are in major transition phase.
Sarkon of Akkad has a family. His livelihood was destroyed. The far left is gleeful. They don't have any sense that he is a human being. This is a dangerous mindset for them, and also draws a counter-reaction.
What is the far left going to do when they've deplatformed everyone they hate, which is 40% of country? They haven't thought this through. If you WANTED bad stuff to happen in U.S., you'd applaud the far left's actions to bankrupt people. They are radicalizing moderates.
Anyhow, I hope you have found this thread useful and not too self-indulgent. I don't like the short-term trends, which is why I am really working to be nice(ish) and not part of the problem. Civilization is worth preserving. Merry Christmas!

"We find ourselves in scientific hell when we discover that our powers of persuasion are limited to those who were already predisposed to agree with us." P. Tetlock, Political psychology or politicized psychology? Is the road to scientific hell paved with good moral intentions?
In longer context: "What exactly is scientific hell? I use the concept to denote the complete collapse of our credibility as a science. We find ourselves in scientific hell when we discover that our powers of persuasion are limited "...
"to those who were already predisposed to agree with us (or when our claims to expertise are granted only by people who share our moral-political outlook). Thoughtful outsiders cease to look upon us as scientists and see us rather as political partisans of one stripe or another."
"Value neutrality is an impossible ideal, but it still remains a useful benchmark for assessing our research performance. Indeed, the price of abandoning value neutrality as an ideal is prohibitively steep: nothing less, I believe, than our collective credibility as a science."
Tetlock's point was that abandoning value neutrality as an ideal and being biased undermined science's credibility creating a "scientific hell" where only partisans predisposed to agree with the partisan scientists would listen to them. This has also happened in journalism.
Journalists have created a "journalistic hell" where only left-wing partisans trust them and the right now looks exclusively to their own partisans for information. They don't understand that they created Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and Breitbart by creating a need for them.
I was just wondering about this very subject last week. Is there a news source primarily devoted to covering journalists, producers, and publishers?
Grade A projection, just the worst. Bannon has admitted that the talent agency that hired you was just an Op. You, Ali and that crew are just actors...who may or may not be compromised. I know cuz I auditioned
