1. Absolutely

If I want serious news or information I go to the internet to find reliable sources or get a book on a particular subject.

John Oliver does a better job than the actors on CNN or MSNBC. This is not by accident. It's a combination of media agendas and ratings chasing.

I can't put on the news for more than a few minutes and then I have to turn it off. I even talk to guys I work with who aren't close to politically driven as me and they complain about the same things.

It's a bunch of talking heads blowing smoke up each other's asses.

Useless.

The media is not irrelevant. It's a huge part of the problem.

The everything-for-profit model is killing the world.
