US Media Corruption

News in the US is packed with useless trivia and “he says, she says” gossip. It is a trivia packed reality show that is full of conjecture and gossip. It is total tabloid news. 90% of it is useless. It covers unconfirmed scandals and accusations. It is a liable machine.

It consumes hours of reporting on inconsequential events like trips of government officials, showing airplanes on the tarmac. It covers weather disasters and terror attacks for weeks.

I suspect that news organizations are not covering what we really need to know, because they don’t want us to know what we need to know.

The media is totally financially dependent on advertisers who object to certain coverage that needs to be known. This is true with small town and big city newspapers and TV cable news. So, what we get is loads of ads and very little useful news.

The media is blatantly big-government, public sector oriented. Most TV programs showcase government employees in crime shows and crime news reports.

News organizations have the opportunity to report a lot more detail on news we need and can use. It is always difficult to get details of pending bills, because legislatures like to pass unpopular bills as quickly and quietly as they can.
