"More than anything, it illustrates the absurdity of our U.S. corporate media which NEVER carries legitimate debates anymore."
I'm a news junkie. I know it's embarrassing to admit, but I long ago resolved to always tell the truth - even if it's inconvenient.
I grew up at the time of Watergate investigative journalism, so the (probably false) impression I had of journalism was the "intrepid investigative journalist" out to right wrongs and expose corruption. (Turned out that Deep Throat whistleblower to Woodward and Bernstein was actually a literal FBI plant, but don't get me started.)
Decades later I become friends with a lefty investigative journalist. I asked him many times: "When did the US press and you "investigative reporters" become so damned incurious? Why did your entire profession suddenly fall silent and stop asking questions?
It drives me nuts. There is literally NO JOURNALISM being done by the networks. All they do is report the CIA's Operation Mockingbird spin handed out by the intel spooks.
