Absolutely, and now that all of the big legacy media outlets are owned by billionaires, they definitely don't deserve our trust for that reason either. Cable news has been trash for a while since the invention of 24-hr news.
There are still some good journalists, but at the organizational level, the only concern is the bottom line for the owners. Add in the fact that most local papers have either been bought up by hedge funds or gone under, and we're extra screwed in terms of accurate news that speaks truth to power.
I'm so glad to see how many people have switched to various Substacks, and we need more independent/non-profit journalism. Support your local paper if you have one or nonprofit outlets like Pro Publica!
One of the red flags for CNN (Now accurately called, Conservative Non-News) was the axing of Brian Stelter's Reliable Sources.
Reliable Sources began on Turner's network in 1992. Thirty years of a run, well managed by Brian Stelter at the end, in spite of Mr. Stelter's soprano voice, it was a valuable perspective, critical of media reporting--- until CNN laid on the kibosh in 2022.
What do you know, CHRIS LICHT was in charge of CNN when that happened? Knock me over with a feather.
I refer our Good Reader to Keith Olbermann's over-familiarity with Mr. Licht.
The question of whose butt Chris may have Licht to become Prez of Conservative Non-News is perhaps, an open question, so to speak. Not in my wheelhouse, as the attorneys like to say. Turn the other cheeks,
I don't agree With The Guardian on everything, but they're still not co-opted by the MAGATs.
