If those who headed the MSM suddenly had to worry about rent and groceries...

How do you think the media would change?

I'll start:
We'd see no more of this horse race style coverage
No more free coverage of fringe candidates simply because they say edgy things

[PatSeg]

1. No more false equivalency stories

"Gee if we report one candidate's corruption, we have to find something equally damaging about his opponent." Have to keep it balanced.

[Beartracks]

3. Or pretend like they found something equally damaging.

[PatSeg]

4. Exactly

"Did Trump meet with Russian operatives during his campaign?"
"Benghazi." or "Private server."

[Uncle Joe]

2. They would cover critical issues of importance to the American People and actually promote

the public good over corporate conglomerate interests but they don't and so they won't

Thanks for the thread ck

5. Might actually see stories about 37000 being evicted from nursing homes

in Louisiana. Turned out on the street but who cares if the MSM doesn't cover it, I guess is their attitude.

As it is, every fart that comes out of Pee Brain's mouth must be dissected as if he's actually saying or doing anything differently than what he has done since he got sent off to military school for being the same little shit he is today.

6. My sense of betrayal is mostly directed at NPR.

That is my canary in the coal mine that any center-left sentiment in the MSM has collapsed completely.

Democratic success will be from the ground up. I do not trust Sanders/Our Revolution in the larger context of Russian influence; I know a real grassroots exists we are here and witness it on DU.
