Have you SEEN the highly produced half hour "evening TV news"?? Deplorable. Paid product placements or outright propaganda account for 60% of the "content", and then there's the commercials! As long as "the news" is run by divisions of Hollywood studios (Universal, Fox, Warner Bros, Disney et al) you will surely not improve democracy. It's toast! Even the written press is 50% brain dead garbage. Their artificially concocted writing conventions simply preclude "background", and full context. They only imitate equilibrium economics in their writing: focussing on the narrow moment margins of an issue while numbing your brain.
Is there any plan afoot to recruit for this site a real writer with a real education and real experience in the real world of real adults? Really, you can't pretend that you're professional and ought be taken seriously when you're every 3rd rate article borders on the frivolous and is saturatingly amateurish. Gotta take it at least from the level of mere indoctrinated high school writing to the writing of mere indoctrinated college students, as in olden days before 1968, when brainwashed kids finally overran the schools of journalism and then sold all the journalism schools, the journalism students and the journalism graduates into slavery at MSNBC, CNN, NYT, Wapo, NPR et cetera.
Journalism's been a revolving door project from bad education and bad thinking to bad writing and bad politics ever since.
