The "media" has a major problem. Its main driver is its entertainment value. News is more entertaining when sensationalised and heavily biased. I don't think there is a conspiracy or negligence causing this. Just simple economic drivers. It's the same thing we see with fast food. Yeah it's bad, but it's exactly what the market demands.

Despite what anyone will claim, good journalism still exists. I am not going to discuss obviously false generalisations.

Good journalism still exists, yes I couldn't agree more. But I don't think it's rewarded as much as poor journalism. This is the problem.

I think that's precisely the trump issue... "Reality" TV costs peanuts and gets more views, even if everything in it is staged.

Yeah politics has had this issue for a while too.
