I seem to recall a list about the reliability of media.
The debate seems to hinge on what is a good and accurate news source and what is not.
The reality of course is that all media are indeed taking the piss and promoting a particular side of politics abd they put their slant on things.
Some even omit stories that do not push their supported narrative.
So who is better and who is more dangerous. Let’s look at the following sample:
CNN, BBC, Guardian, MSNBC, Fox News, Sky News, NYT and Washington Post.
The most dangerous media outlets above are those who purport to be “down the line” or fair.
For instance CNN, BBC, MSNBC, NYT and WP. These are propaganda hacks. Pretend to be real journalism when in fact they are NOT. Deceptive to the core.
The other ones which clearly have an agenda and narrative which they are upfront about are less dangerous:
For instance FOX News, Sky News and Guardian.
FOX News was clearly GOP through and through. You know what you are getting when you tune in. It’s literally blatant and very transparent.
Same with Sky News Australia. It’s blatant right wing, liberal party and Trump supporting through and through. You know what you are getting when you tune in.
Sky News UK however, also owned by Murdoch is far more dangerous as they are pretenders much like CNN and BBC. In other words, liars.
Guardian is also extremely left wing. It’s literally blatant and very transparent. It’s obvious what you are getting when you read their material. In the same vain as Fox News and Sky News Australia.
And these more transparent forms of journalism fulfil an important role and I will put it all to you that they are more reliable news sources with better quality journalism because you know what angle they are pushing at all times.
The Guardian is excellent comic relief as well. I’ve spent hours on their websites reading all the meltdown comments when Trump won the 2016 election, about BREXIT and Boris Johnson’s election win. So much fun.
Fun for the whole family.
Twitter was good for a laugh too until they purged all the Republican voices like true “Democrats”. Now they are a shadow. An empty vessel with no discourse or debate. Oh well!
