I feel like she skirts around one of the main issues without totally owning up to it the media has shit the bed over the last 20 years . Conglomerates have gobbled and gobbled until we have what , a half dozen major news companies ? It used to be if one outlet skirted some corners or sacrificed integrity you had all the others available to call them out . Now we ' re down to darn near a hesaid shesaid situation . The shift to social media has not been easy either . In this realm we DO have a tremendous number of sites and sources to select from . Unfortunately the lack of vetting or even coherence means nobody knows what to listen to , and even the major networks fade into the noise . It ' s damn hard for the average person to make any sort of sense out of the news any more . It ' s full of lies , contradictions , and distractions . How do we even know what ' s normal when normal has been spun so many times from so many directions nobody knows what to believe , much less what to take a stance against ?
