Re: Media hounds
Hi NJ.
​
Perhaps if there was one media outlet, there would be no one to 'one-up' as far as sensationalizing goes.
​
A "media monarchy" is the answer to our problems with the media? One outlet that has absolute rule over the flow of information from our televisions?
​
History is what it is. The study of history or an accounting of history has no bias. Just record it. That's their job.
​
Wishful thinking. Just because historians should record events bereft of bias and prejudice doesn't make it so.

Re: Media hounds
You do realize networks compete against each other for ratings, right? If there was one network there wouldn't be any competition. It doesn't mean that they couldn't be regulated.
​
How does the lack of competition provide for more accurate, reputable, and reliable information?
​
It may be wishful thinking but that doesn't mean we have to just give up. There will continue to be evil acts in the world too, despite our best efforts, but that doesn't mean we just give up and make matters worse by not trying to alleviate those problems?
​
I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to get at.
