The Death Of Real News

My only question is why it took so long for an old timer to come out and rail on the endless opinionating and psycho babble the major media calls news.

News never used to be a source of profit at the major television corporations.  I would enjoy a return to an environment where news was a nonprofit enterprise that served the public good.  And give incentives for investigative journalism of standalone news sources so we can keep an eye on our government and the special interests who are endlessly bribing it.    That would get corporations out of the news business.  Fox, MSNBC and other twenty four hour propaganda machines could still exist, but they could no longer be able to call themselves news.
