When did the news media get so untrustworthy? When did they ended up loosing people trust in them?

Years ago, under such news anchor as Walter Cronkite and Peter Jennings, news reporters had integrity. They did their job at reporting the news without being bias. They kept their opinion to themselves, like they are supposed to. They asked such questions as: who, what, where, when, why, and how. They had done their research before reporting the news. They got their facts straight first.

Once Walter Cronkite retired, good news reporters with integrity became hard to find. Dan Rather, who replaced Walter Cronkite, became the father of fake news. He was even forced to step down from CBS news desk in the midst of the controversy and apologize. Now it’s the norm for today’s news media anchor.

I know what a true journalist with integrity is supposed to do because I had studied journalism in college.

It bears remembering that the purpose of the free press, like the purpose of free speech, is to nurture the mind, communicate ideas, challenge ideologies, share notions, inspire creativity, advocate and reinforce America’s founding principles. The media is to expose official actions aimed at squelching speech. But when the media function as a propaganda tool for a single political party and ideology, they destroy their own purpose.

Journalists are not to get involved politically and pick side. They are to remain bias when reporting the news accurately. Yet, today journalists are more Liberals. They seems to support the Democratic party; even if it means not reporting the truth. The American people has the rights to know the truth. It doesn’t matter if you are a Republican or a Democrat.

It surely not for the government to control the press, and yet the press is not capable of policing itself.

If they were people of integrity and honesty, who actually did their job without biases, the American people could actually believe them. Instead, they are like the news media in George Orwell’s book, “1984,” in that book, they are the “big brother” for the government. The watchdog, so to speak.

The Unfreedom of the Press is about how those entrusted with news reporting in the modern media are destroying freedom of the press from within: not government oppression or suppression. Thus, their credibility of the mass media has never been lower.

If you dare confront them with the truth on social media as Facebook and Twitter, you are shut down and fact checked. Some are even put in Facebook jail for expressing the truth, and doing their job.

Is the media providing knowledge and insight useful to the public and free society, or are they obsessed with their own personal and political viewpoints? Have the news media earned the respect and esteem of their readers and viewers? Is the media on a trajectory of self-destruction by identifying themselves to the Democratic party over the Republican party?

Today’s journalists have done a very poor job of upholding the tenets of their profession, thus destroying the freedom of the press. Many millions of Americans do not respect or trust them as credible fairminded, and unbiased news source. They have no one to blame but themselves.

When a journalist breaks from the rest of the news media, which is quite rare, and actually do their job properly, their careers are typically threatened or ruined by the rest of the news media.

Journalism’s first obligation is to the truth and loyalty to the American people. This is one of the reason for me writing my blog, to get the truth out there anyway possible.

They have become a glorified gossip rag magazine such as the National Enquire. The only good things is to line the birdcage with their trash or used as doggy paper.

When the news media failed to do their job accurately, they deny the American people from gathering the facts to make the right decisions.

How much better would it be if the news media(liar’s pants) really did catch on fire? It would be so much interesting to watch than it is now.

No wonder the world has gone crazy. It has gotten so bad that you don’t even want to watch the news anymore. You cannot believe anything the mainstream news media tells you.

What we need is a little good news for a change. We need the truth for once and for the news media not to be bias and slant the truth for their own benefits.

I’m not endorsing censoring the news media, because it goes against the freedom of the press and communication. The news media had brought their own downfall.
