Pat Caddell gave a fantastic speech to Accuracy in Media on the media and how starting in the 1980s they stopped holding both sides to the same level of accountability. He focuses a fair amount on Benghazi-gate but also mentions a few other things including the media’s silence on David Plouffe receiving $100k from an Iranian front group for giving 2 speeches. Caddell totally nails it by saying that the media has now become a danger to America and an enemy of the people.

It is their job to keep the American people informed, they have totally failed in that area. They should no longer be considered professional journalists, they are professional hacks.

No, it isn't.

It is their job to make money for the shareholders of the company that pays them.

Nothing more or less.

Of course it is. It's in EVERYONE'S "job description".

Journalism died a long time ago.

"Journalism" was never alive to begin with. The "good old days" argument is pure bullshit.

The "press" has been "biased" as long as it has existed - "biased" towards their own ends, whatever they are.

"Journalism" has never been some utopian, altruistic "service" to "the people". It's always been a means towards an end.

The prevailing Conservative meme cycle is pretty funny to me.

1. Fear-monger about the "Fairness Doctrine".

2. Whine about the media being "unfair".

3. Repeat.

A companies "standards" are based on their "profit motives".

A companies "standards" are based on their "profit motives".

They are influenced by profit motives. A company doesn't murder just b/c it's going to help their bottom line.

But they will lie.
