[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 2095534, member: 5485"] That's right! The folks in the mainstream media do make a $#!7 ton of money. Bill O'reilly makes over $20M, Dianne Sawyer over $12M, Scott Pelly over $5M, Matt Lauer over $25M. This cash has to come from somewhere, and it's actually great that they have achieved the American dream. But if these salaries dictate what passes for truth, then it's really just another product, and not necessarily accurate. It's not all false either, but it's colored for sure. If a rock star sings a song and makes this kind of cash, it's accepted that it's a product. If a sports figure does this ditto. The fan frenzy can drive the profits through the roof and that's fine and we all understand this and even applaud it. Movie stars make movies, inventors innovate and maybe cash in, great. But if sculpting and contouring the truth to make more money is your contribution to the world, at least tell us it's that way. The TV audience is going away faster than our generation is aging. We are spending more time on bc and other worthier pursuits. Like I said, I still watch the news, I just laugh a lot more now. Once you change your perspective, it's fairly humorous.
