There Are Reasons No One Trusts the Media

Andrew Malcolm at RedState has a disturbing, but not surprising, look at the state of Journalism. It's Not That Hard for Media to Cheat; How to Fight Back

Despite all the liberal talk about the importance of diversity in everything, media joined with Biden agencies in a conspiracy to suppress online conservative news, including here at RedState.

They successfully pressured social media to adjust algorithms accordingly, which reduces revenues and the financial viability of media that doesn’t follow accepted narratives. So, targeted media had to develop alternative sources of income.

Government and industry cooperating for social control used to be called fascism.

From Jason Blair inventing things at the NY Times, to Janet Cooke winning a Nobel Prize for a story about youth, who didn't exist, and CBS editing of the Kamala Harris interview (and refusing to release the whole, unedited version), there are examples of why we don't' trust the media, and how we got here. And also the risks it poses to freedom. There is a reason for the 1st amendment, and that is that the press is supposed to keep government honest, not cover for them.

Read the whole thing, because there are some suggestions for how to fight back.
