Quiz show the movie reminds me how ethically low the media has fallen

[rndmprsn]

i lifted this from another post i made...

i was flipping through the channels and watched the last half of the movie "quiz show" and it made me realize how low the media has fallen ethically...

back then they felt the need to have congressional hearings over dis-honesty in a freaking quiz show! thess days dis-honesty is a regular currency...in fact i don't think the media could exist without it...reality shows are staged, partisan pundits spin the truth and make 6 figures for it, if it bleeds it leads, and now sinclair broadcasting can run roughshod and attack a presidential candidate 2 weeks before and election while the same media keeps F/911 off the air-waves.

one of the closing lines in the movie was where the up and coming prosecuter who has just witnessed the media protecting itself and trashing other peoples lives and careers says..."TV will get all of us in the end"

indeed it might...but not without a fight.
