Residents of Oakdale, Calif., have abandoned traditional media outlets for a mishmash of online sources. These days, they’re often not sure what information to trust.
Many of the traditional media outlets have always been pushing agendas too. You just may not have been aware of them. I don’t mean to equate them with patriot Joe’s bootlicker blog, exactly, but I also am no longer fooled by a facade of gravitas.
I don’t disagree, but I think we are in a coarse battle between patriot Joe’s bootlicker blog and a basic dedication to the facts. I have my political biases, but society cannot sustain an assault on the truth in the service of promoting fascism. I suspect you want to move society left, and I have similar sympathies, but we should first sustain an open society and protect the values of objectivity and neutrality in the media.
Do you want your information from a source that is 80-90% about reporting and 10-20% opinion, or one that is 100% just pushing an agenda.
Of course I am absolutely against anything promoting fascism. I also think it is very important to analyze how we got to where we are. Part of the fault lies with our traditional media failing to do its job. I think it’s a mistake to place your hope in the people who led us down this path to save us from the consequences.
