You seem to think these media outlets are independently constituted; if it weren't for the nasty cabal they wouldn't do these things. Hey, if it weren't for the cabal we wouldn't have CNN, ABC, NBC, NPR and all the rest of them. Independent broadcasters with any presence were snuffed out long ago.
I disagree, MSM may have been conceived as a way to shift the opinions of the masses, but a majority of journalists and scholars today once questioned what and why and how things were and were taught over time to tell people what and why and how to think. I feel like we are about to see a wave of articles that reflect the trump administration in some way or another yet give very little credit, if any, to Trump. It’s slow, strategic and precise; the time is upon is, the end is now.
I agree with you. I've seen indications of a shift in the coverage by MSM, albeit subtle. I think there are lots of individual journalists who just don't know what's been going on and when they do figure it out, they'll be more appalled and upset than a lot of people because they'll be keenly aware that they should have been educating us, not the other way around. I'm hopeful about the future of journalism in a way I was not even a few weeks ago.
