To be honest, there should be another vote on brexit, Nigel Farage is a coward whos only mission was to destroy the pact then he high tailed it out of there like some puzzy that had no plan to begin with


Back on topic, media is very very bad, as MsH said, they create news and fail to report it properly.

With all due respect, fox news is not a news station. Fox is a magazine station. See fox appellate court brief which they argued they could not be held liable or to the same standard as a news station. Fox won. Therefore you already erred when you said you get your news from fox. You get there alternative facts and their opinion not facts.

in political news

we often discuss peoples standards/values/beliefs in terms of conservative or liberal,, but as Igor has mentioned before there are fewer people who fall strictly in one category OR the other as there are those who toggle among and between the two

of those who do fall very devotedly and strictly within one box or another(I call them extremist) ..they seem to have media sources who pander to their ideals on the regular

for instance

Fox seems to report to conservative extremists
HuffPost seems to report to liberal extremists


This does not mean that either source does not also provide valuable information, it only means they can be counted on to slant that information towards a specific narrative every time,,,


Do you believe the integrity of our news media(by this I mean all methods of media from cable and internet to published news ) is diminished by an OVERABUNDANCE of extremism pandering to a certain consumer base?

Do you believe the value of our news media , considering such pandering, is declining due to an undereducation of the average consumer in things like

1. Discerning fact from opinion?
2. Discerning truth from allegation?
3. Understanding context?



and might we as consumers influence media to create news with integrity by becoming more educated on these things and 'pandering' ourselves to those sources that still try to report the news and not create it?
