Some of those people, who are probably not particularly stable or intelligent to begin with, build narratives based on conspiracies. And they will just keep maintaining them and defending them regardless. You can present them with the best information, audio, video, testimony, whatever, and they'll use that to reinforce their existing view of the world.

We all do it to a certain degree.

Watergate started as a conspiracy theory that turned out to be right.

Up until Snowden the NSA monitoring everything you do was a nutty conspiracy.

So yeah, it doesn't help that sometimes they're true.

We desperately need the news media to return to boring, unbiased, non-partisan reporting of the facts, as recorded by their own employees on the ground.

Wire services and freelancers are great and all, but if the entire industry is using one source then that's a problem.

I doubt it will happen since the MSM have reduced their correspondents corps.

We need fewer $100M studios and more boots on the ground.

Totally agree

_starts cloning Tim…_

How do you convince the left to relinquish such a powerful tool of manipulation though?

Anyone remember TheKnife media? Kind of ironic that they had exactly the sort of reporting we need to restore normalcy to America, but they turned out to be run by a secret sex slave cult.

i don't think news was ever unbias or boring. the trope of news being sensational is as old as news.

Yellow Press. Exactly.

Reminder that even in the "Free" land of 'Murica you can still be sent to jail for investigative journalism, if you investigate too deep.

Sensationalism backed by a multinational corporation pays well. Actually having integrity and a will to find out the truth, not so much.

Who got sent to jail?

Look at the Journalists that the Lefts favorite black President sent to jail

who got sent to jail tho?
