We don't demand better. We eat from the silly trough that is Fox or CNN and claim it as fact. We have to demand better and not dismiss other news sources off the bat bc of who they are.
Nonbiased, honest, and professional news now takes a back seat to ratings and money. People are more interested in getting news out first rather than making sure it is true.
The majority of consumers just want to sit down and be told stuff that they agree with, which is why we have such polarization among news networks.
I believe Shepard Smith criticized Trump yesterday in regards to his press conference, and Fox News viewers on Twitter in masses were begging that he got fired. It doesn't matter what is spewed to us anymore because we will only look for the news that fits our beliefs.
For example, it seems that people would more willingly believe a new(false) study that proteins make you fat more than that their political leader is an idiot.

People go to Mexican restaurants because they like Mexican food. People go to a good steak house because they like a good steak. People go to a Chinese restaurant because they like Chinese food.
People watch whatever news source that fits their taste.
Shepherd Smith is a prissy little b****, who thinks he is hot doo doo.Nonbiased, honest, and professional news now takes a back seat to ratings and money. People are more interested in getting news out first rather than making sure it is true.

While news networks commentary is for sure slanted I don't think true journalists are liars. Truth is fickle. It's like the five blind men describing what an elephant looks like by feeling it. It's easy to describe the exact same thing in different ways.
Opinion shows are passed off as news now. maddow, hannity, Matthews, ect aren't reporting the news. They're telling you what they what you to think. Just because someone is given an hour on TV/radio doesn't mean their telling the truth or being honest.
