A Commentwhore
B1 Bummer, a Mockingbird, when you get 24hr news and the people are more uninformed than ever you know that the news isn't serving its function.
I've held the unpopular view for some time that unless the news media gives people enough facts so they can govern themselves then they have no reason to exist. It isn't that I'm in favor of suppressing them, its that they favor a corporate state that will silence them if they even threaten to inform the public.
They have given up the right of a free press, not with a gag but with a simper.

Oh, they have a reason to exist, all right. And they're fulfilling it in spades.

What's that quote from Rita Skeeter in one of the Harry Potter books, " The Prophet exists to sell itself, you silly girl,", There's a reason they don't like the Harry Potter books.
