#11 Diesel said You forgot to mention Olberman, Curic, Franken, Oprah, Gibson, CNN, MSNBC, HNN, ABC, NBC and CBS..

Agreed. They are all a sack of shit. The only live news person I listen to is Anderson Cooper. He is honest and he is cute.

#20 Yes, Pedro. Cronkite, William Buckley and other great commentators…as well as Captain Kangaroo. We are now surrounded by Bill O’reilly’s of the world and Rush Limbaugh. How’s them apples?

This is typical and has been going on for years. Although I think this example is a bit old.

It’s looking more and more like there is no mainstream any more. Common ground has been ceded to idology, division reigns supreme. You have to wonder who benefits most from that outcome…

The graphic, recent history or not, seems to say Americans are being fed pablum to keep the “matrix” running smoothly. Do ya think? Maybe?

In the age of spin, who knows what is real, true and accurate? That seems the real genius of the puppet masters, to get to the stage where any issue can be dissolved in opposing spin and we can’t tell what is truth. Then the ever-turning info cycle turns again and we are onto something new. So what if NewsWeek is a good example of getting the media/etc you deserve, the real sadness is the almost total surrender to the age of spin. If we demanded better, we might get it.
