Mysterious objects spotted orbiting star

Just off the top of my head, look at the handling of the Planned Parenthood videos. How many mainstream media outlets have reported that the videos were authentic and that full, unedited versions are available online? Look at how Pope Francis is presented in the media. Look at how Josh Duggar was covered in minute detail while Lena Dunham’s admitted molestation of her sister and false rape accusations were virtually ignored. Go back a few years to Michael Richards’ racist rant which made headlines everywhere, yet Rosie O’Donnell’s equally offensive comments about Asians from the following weekend were ignored.

I think there’s a herd mentality and a lack of ideological diversity, but I don’t think they’re taking marching orders from one centralized authority and keeping facts secret, as was originally alleged. There’s too much pressure to scoop one another for them to keep a secret.

I think there’s a herd mentality and a lack of ideological diversity, but I don’t think they’re taking marching orders from one centralized authority and keeping facts secret, as was originally alleged. There’s too much pressure to scoop one another for them to keep a secret.

Maybe not a single centralized authority, but as pointed out earlier, six companies own pretty much all the mainstream media in the US. I have a friend who was a reporter at a small, regional paper years ago. He would have stories and viewpoints squashed by his editor/publisher all the time (the editor/publisher was the same guy and the ostensible owner of the paper). When he questioned his editor on it, he said the orders came from “upstairs.” He never found out just who “upstairs” was. During one particularly major disaster, yadda, yadda, yadda, so my friend quit the paper, changed political affiliations and now comes off as the biggest conspiracy theorist around.
