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.

2018-11-18 23:24:23 UTC  

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

2018-11-18 23:24:48 UTC  

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

2018-11-18 23:24:53 UTC  

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

2018-11-18 23:25:21 UTC  

Totally agree

_starts cloning Tim…_

2018-11-18 23:25:58 UTC  

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

2018-11-18 23:28:36 UTC  

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.

2018-11-19 00:03:03 UTC  

Yellow Press. Exactly.

2018-11-20 04:16:01 UTC  

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.

2018-11-20 05:24:32 UTC  

Who got sent to jail?

2018-11-20 10:24:45 UTC  

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

@Misomania you sir ~~ are a liar and spreader of fake news ~~. Euthanasia is illegal in denmark. I Would like for you to source this opinion you are spreading.

2018-11-21 19:44:06 UTC  

@tritrium you have been lied to

@4AM_critter πŸ‰ you from denmark then?
I have no idea about denmark i only know its possible in belgium but under very strict conditions

2018-11-21 21:13:11 UTC  

Yep, as the Americans say. I am a sugary piece of pastry

2018-11-21 22:04:29 UTC  

Addendum:
It seems there was a mixup between denmark and netherlands, two tiny european countries.

2018-11-21 22:07:47 UTC  

Danes and Dutch. The classic mixup.

2018-11-21 23:39:15 UTC  

was juggling another article about the suicide tourism industry actually at the same time, and others about how certain advocate's activities are promoting the allowance of it's spread and others about the expansion of those cases in existing national laws and how they seem to be gaining traction as it spreads through other nations (canada and the US as well). Just swapped two of them in that giant stack of articles I was cross referencing.

I absolutely *love* articles like this. They hit you with the results of the poll right in the headline (which too few people will read and move on without going through the article). Scroll down a ways and you find out they only polled 2,000 people to represent all of Canada (36.7 million people). The article isn't worded to inform people either, it reads as though it is attempting to convince me why the poll represents the truth (whether it does or not).
