All of them, without exception, are selling a product, and one that is no different than any other product. They know their customer base, and they promote brand loyalty.<br /><br />It is only a clever sleight-of-hand (and by the willing naivete of their customers) that they have wrapped their product in constitutional protections that very few other products enjoy.<br /><br />Expecting truth or objectivity from any "journalist" or media company is akin to strolling onto the Brand X automobile company sales lot and then asking the salesman what brand is best. <br /><br />Trust a journalist? I would Rather not.BFRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446254517738219155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-71422071915472160362020-02-26T18:32:59.715-06:002020-02-26T18:32:59.715-06:00Reporters report.

Because that's what even the 'best' reporter does. What the 'worst' due to the truth, well, most journalists liked the Soviet Union, Communist China, Communist Cuba, Communist insurgents everywhere.<br /><br />So seeing a 'journalist' at a major network come out as socialist? He's being removed because he openly stated it. Most other journalists? Socialists and fellow travelers all. Crime here? Letting the mundanes know.Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-60278861697270083582020-02-26T12:38:31.096-06:002020-02-26T12:38:31.096-06:00It gets bad when Pravda is a BETTER source than US...It gets bad when Pravda is a BETTER source than US media... sighOld NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.com
