Very recent studies show that Americans are disenchanted with the press and media and are tuning them out at increasing rates. The media has yet to address charges of bias in reporting or not reporting the news and seems to be permeated with fiction journalists who manufacture their own stories or rewrite history as they go along.
To be certain, the press and the media appear to be mystified at their declining ratings and loss of viewers. Major periodicals and media outlets are watching their bottom lines sink faster than too many lead weights on a fishing line. Certainly, we expect to hear that it's all a right-wing conspiracy, or that it's Bush's fault, or that citizens have become more interested in porn and sports.
The press and the media are to blame for their own demise. No one in this country has ever given them license to manipulate our political processes, but they do it frequently, unabashedly and total lacking of any ethics or sense of responsibility to the public.
Damn them. Damn them all to hell.
