I once said that media - once known as "the press" at a time when media was only print technoogy - was once complimented being the only private industry given mention in the Constitution, and the compliment went to their swelled heads, and that the swelling has only expanded with time. I've been given confirmation, again, that the swelled-head syndrome is alive and causing greater trauma than ever. With regard to the Nancy Guthrie "disappearance" [it seems there are some in the media not yet willing to call it kidnapping], I watched a TV journalist maintain that the investigation, and their reporting of it, would improve if the Pima County Sheriff would hold daily news conferences, and just moments later claimed that Pima County as huge with a population of about 2M people, and that crime was prevalent. So, does this smartass journalist really think law enforcement has the time to hold daily news conferences? She thinks her journalism should be spoon-fed? Whatever happened to her own investigative diligence? Covid-caused laziness?

Media controls minds of masses. I noticed some people literally just repeat what they hear on news. No original opinion, nothing. Just repeating what screen told them.


Its amazing, that some people just get opinions "planted" in them.


Of course, I rarely watch the news, because news are designed to rage bait you and feed your mind with nonsense. they are not actually meant to give any education, but to just bait views with catchy titles.


And news are designed to destroy people's optimism, at least in my country. there are like 100 bad news per day. if someone watched that every day, he would effectively become hopeless, pessimist or nihilist.

News is designed to keep the listener informed. But when money influences the news outlet the information is slanted to benefit the advertisers and investors.
