When the fourth estate doesn't do its job, democracy is in trouble. It was appalling when NBC hired Ronna McDaniel, but it was reassuring when they reacted to the outcry, both from newscasters and ordinary citizens. We all have a responsibility to speak up, even if it's just signing a petition, when the powerful step over the line.
Like they say, Ann, follow the money! And increasingly right-to- far right broadcasting, such as Sinclair, are buying up rural stations. Although they donтАЩt control all content, they do тАЬflavorтАЭ what is promoted or what receives less coverage.
I have pretty much given up on expecting the mainstream media to do its job.

Agreed.

Yes, Sinclair is poisoning one of our main stations here in West Michigan. I just can't stand those "news" people.
