um, no, both are the same reason, hatred and tribalism. one side feels/felt wronged by the other.

Well interesting, we got two media profits.....

Which says to me, its not about the truth, can't be, no such thing as sorta pregnant.

So Trump is not far off when he says a bias media, because the liberal media markets to it buyers, as does FOX.....

Then the Black kids welfare, in Chicago, bringing to to the forefront, hammering this everyday like the caravan, or other stories that cater to their consumers/buyers, is not really about social welfare, as its packaged, no, its about paycheck.

Seems a bit disingenuous for folks who preach they care, but in reality, they do, but its more about themselves, than what they portend.
Again, kinda like that Jimmie Swaggert, or other evangelist preachers talking about our sin, yet engaging in their own, the moment the pews empty....

Thanks guys for the clarification, kinda explains why lots of folks are fed up with the lies.

"Which says to me, its not about the truth, can't be, no such thing as sorta pregnant."

 I don't think its a requirement to lie to be profitable.  Media coverage of an event can be truthful, but the priority in which one presents can be profit based.

 For instance nightly local news typically does sports and weather last in the broadcast as they are the content people typically tune ion nightly to see.  As such does that make the local news less trustworthy since the format is to increase profitability by maintaining longer duration of viewing times by placing the most desired content last in the program?

 Does that make their weather less accurate, their sports scores less accurate or their local news reports less accurate?

 

I don't think its a requirement to lie to be profitable.


But it's been a proven a
answer to falling profit.

Print media is dying.
I'm surprised that T.V.broadcast news isn't falling off at the same rate.
As the public ages, I expect that to happen.

Yes, in a way. Our local stations over the years have all developed what they refer to as "Storm Mode" when the weather is particularly bad or dangerous. However, it's become something of a joke because it's become a competition who can go into Storm Mode first hoping to be the one who first predicts and warns of impending danger. They advertise they were the first to accurately predict dangerous ice conditions etc.... however, because the weather is so fickle and difficult to predict, they've been rightly criticized for predicting doom and gloom only to get it dramatically wrong. A big of crying wolf.
