“I don’t really watch any of the news networks. The networks just don’t have the professional journalism that I expect.
The news is a business. So the newscasters appeal to their base. They tell their audience what they wish to hear.
They appeal to emotion. They really don’t report unbiased news because that would not garner ratings. So it’s a binary system. The populace will not watch the news if it is based on reason.
Nor will they tune In if the network reports facts and truth. Facts that may trigger the audience of and cause cognitive dissonance.
So the audience wants programs of the like of Rush Limbaugh, the Howard Stern Show, Reality Television of the Kardashians and the Jerry Springer Show.
I don’t plan on posting anything about politics or on President Trump. Until if and when the audience matures and
demands professional hard truths and objective facts, the networks will continue to provide sensationalism.” LightSun
