They're a major part of why politics are all a complete joke now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Saraphim@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I think the downfall of legitimate news was inevitable. When CNN went 24 hours there was a lot of “how can they possibly find enough news to fill all that time?” And it was a legitimate question. The answer is that they can’t. So they manufacture things instead- opinion pieces that sound mysteriously like fact news, panels sitting around supposing what something could mean, interpreting events instead of factual explanations. It became a 24 gossipy talk show. And then even regular regional news followed suit. I don’t even bother to watch the news anymore, because it’s not news. It’s a bunch of jabbering assholes just making noises with their faces. permalink fedilink source parent [–] squiblet@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago Daniel Dale has always been pretty good. permalink fedilink source parent
