The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yeah, tell me about the liberal media.

I don't care about how rich the owner of a media outlet is. I only care about it being used to inform USians, vs being used to distribute propaganda.

The sad thing is, right now, CBS "News" is still more informative than the drivel that ABC and NBC spew. Harry Truman had a theory: every media outlet is biased, one way, or another. So he read several newspapers every day. He figured, by reading several different takes on an issue, he could filter out the biases both ways, and get at the truth. I suppose you could do the same thing by watching Fox Noise and TYT.
