"broadcasters cannot intentionally distort the news."
That should be a message inscribed by tattoo on the foreheads of the clowns at CNN, MSNBC, etc.
There isn't a line separating "News" and entertainment anymore.
In entertainment, you can do a show about how the National Socialists won WW2. In fact, there have been multiple lame shows/movies doing just that.
In entertainment you can do a show about -- Well, anything. And that's okay because -- entertainment isn't real. It's entertainment. And entertainment is about $$$
And now, the Entertainment Industry crossed over into every other thing the DISGUSTING FILTH does. Sports is now entertainment. Fact. The NFL no longer cares about the best team winning. At all. They are WWE of sports. The NFL will tell you that it is entertainment and was never intended to be about 'getting it right'. Same with the NBA. Entertainment, not sports.
And that's okay. If people are gullible enough to believe sporting events are anything other than an entertainment spectacle, that's on them. Just watch the Soupie Bowl and see how many times the cameras pan to see Tay-Tay or some other despicable celebrity.
And that's okay. People are stupid. Even a lot of Conservatives think that the NFL is really about Football when nothing could be further from the truth. It's entertainment.
And that is the criteria, the model, that 'News' programs in the DISGUSTING FILTH have adopted. Those 'broadcasters', those 'Anchors'.....? They're hired because of their celebrity value, NOT because they're Journalists. They are certainly not journalists in any way. They are Celebrities.
You don't pay a 'Journalist' Twenty Million a year. Rachel Madcow makes 30 Million. Sean Hannity of the eternal lisp makes 25 Million. Andersson Cooper, a total joke, 25 Million.
It's about Star Power. It's about viewership. It's about ratings. NOT the News.
