But think about this: We also have a FAKE NEWS CHANNEL THAT LIES ON A DAILY BASIS. In fact....THEY HAVE TRIED TO THROW THE CURRENT ELECTION.
FOX News is not much better than listening to Russian television. It's a disgrace to democracy.
If we manage to get through this election.......it won't be because of FOX News did any JOURNALISM.
sorry about that one, i definitely forgot about he "holy cow" the media who are the 4th and a very subtle power beside, justice, legislative and exectutive in our systems. thing is to find the way between censorship which is wrong of course and influencing through lies and half truth which is more subtle but still totally wrong.
the very root of things is that people compete permanently and are raised like that instead of colaborating. as long as competition is part of the "good tone" and not seen as what it is, an animalic instinct and not worthy for entities that consider themselves "human" or "superior" which in itself might be a key error. if you're interested you can have a look at some excerpts for my several books i'm working at under
http://magnamentis.com they are work in progress and probably will be published only after my demise and for free. thing is that money and fame have too bad an influence as do all the negative feedback and i don't think i need that during my old days haha....
but in short, you're right, media are key nowadays, directly after banks and insurance companies and more and more big information enterprises like google which as well has taken a doubtful path recently. "don't be evil" as google's motto can obviously not withstand monetary temptations in the long run as it seems.
i love this kind of conversation by the way but for a healthy spirit it's important to accept the limitations that only time will help to overcome, this acceptance is needed to stay content and keep
a peaceful mind (way of thinking ) i often say that a few guys, including myself are lucky that i have no say on the matter if you know what i mean LOL
