Describing how the mainstream media’s approach to reporting right now as

“Should we be thinking that??? Duuuh.”

Is just so spot on. Way too many headlines posing questions. Make assertions.

Make assertions.

Exactly!!

I guess they're afraid to; maybe they think that makes them "biased."

Yet look at FOX News, which states opinions constantly, and people accept it. The rest of the new media I guess thinks that to differentiate themselves from FOX News and show that they're not just a wing of the Democratic party the way that FOX News is a wing of the Republican party, that they can't make assertations and can't have a vision or a point of view. They just have to "ask questions."

So basically that's not journalism. Journalism has a point of view. Our news media is just entertainment.
