One can toss out some erroneous story about Obama being a Muslim or the gay liberal mayor of Frankfort being a member of the KKK and some people will believe it.
Eh, journalists aren't concierge. Their task isn't recommending the truth, it's providing it in an easily accessible form.
The problem is the MSM media cooks up their slants to stories. Head of CBS news is the brother of someone in Obama White House. The crossover from journalists and the WH staff is ridiculous and they help each other out .
What's funny is MSNBC is researching whether Ben Carson stabbed someone when he was a kid because it was in his book. They wanted to see if he was violent.... That's a fair story in most cases .... But I never saw an expose on Obama's drug use, how relationship with Jeremiah Wright or connections to terrorists which he freely called influencial to his political career. They never did any stories on any of that.... They covered it up as no big deal. Why.... Because he was a democrat and they were rooting for him.
They researched someone who Romney supposedly bullied when he was a kid.
Without new media we never know about a lot of things. This is why the progressives want to shut new media down. You can still do quality journalism and not be part of the MSM. Sheryl Atkisson was fired from CBS for making Obama admin look bad.... Now she is new media.
