We really need to go back to a time when the news was boring and most people hated politicians regardless of party. Right now all this biased media has people rooting for their team(party) regardless of how bad it sucks. Can we make news non profit or something? We can’t continue like this.

We need to get over our fixation on news as entertainment.

Opinion should be separated from news.

Lies and false news should be called out.

We are gonna hafta do it ourselves.

The problem is that all the other programming besides the news channels is really, really terrible. 1000 channels - and nothing good on.

Non-stop news editorializing is the most entertaining thing on T.V. - A whole lot of people who would otherwise be disinterested in politics are watching these news channels non-stop. Because everything else sucks.

Has it been determined to be more profitable?

News stations used to make it clear when they were editorializing as opposed to reporting. Now they intertwine the two.

I have a great link forum for it.

I sure hope we do. I’m not really sure watching much, but seems some are more and more in...

News has become News Entertainment. Think of WWE and Sports Entertainment. It is still a sport and people compete but its scripted. Same for the News Entertainment.

Basic Example

Mugger shot by police officer, stolen property recovered = News

CNN: Racist Police officer shoots unarmed man running with a woman's purse.

FOX: Brave police officer takes down a criminal while saving a woman's purse.

Therein lies the problem
 
I can see the day where drastically different weather forecasts will be the norm based on political party.
We already get different search engine results based on where the search originates from. The AI doesn't care if the link goes to the truth or not, it's only programmed to give you what is most likely to keep your eye on the page as long as possible, which helps explain why stalwarts of the opposing political parties think the other guys are insane. They couldn't think the way they do if they read the same things we read. The truth is, they're NOT reading the same things, and it's not necessarily because they're looking for confirmation bias, it's because they're being given different things to read.

There are too many competing media services and channels. They have to compete for the best shows - that drives the price charged for the shows up and most stations can only afford mediocre programming.

You have to subscribe to about 20 different services if you want good programming.
