7% of journalists are Republican

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.

Attkisson is probably a bad example. And she wasn't fired, she quit when she was told she couldn't wear her tinfoil hat on TV.



Although, in her defense, there probably is a conspiracy by CBS, The White House, the ATF, the Post Office, Clinton, Congress, and others to make sure she... quits the job she... already... quit? Or something?

No, you may be right. Independent unvetted and unfiltered news is probably what the masses need to make informed decisions.

Propaganda and news are two different things. One crazy or profit motivated person (how many books has Attkisson put out?) is a poor substitute for peer reviewed information.
