Simple fact is, media.....may it be liberal or conservative are no longer what it was during the "golden age". When was such a period....I suppose it would be the time when Walter Cronkite held the journalism standard to its highest level. We may not all agreed sometimes what he say but we know him as a honest man. Now we fast forward to today and what do we have? We have something called "yellow journalism"
The definition that implies "journalism that is based upon sensationalism and crude exaggeration". And that what political news been all about since Bill Clinton era and getting worst. It appears in sports and in other subjects from time to time. Nowadays, to trust a journalist is like saying you trust that used car salesman on the corner lot next to the junkyard. Reliable news is getting harder to get even while there are more news material then any other time in our human history. We all lives with our biases because it make us comfortable.
