Secular Media has lost its way

[DrDavidT]

it is no longer an objective reporting service that informs people of the events in their nation or around the world. It is a tool used by many to brainwash or influence to make the wrong decision.

Could you define "secular media?"

Do you mean like CNN and NYT? What about Fox News?

What are you contrasting secular media with? Religious media? What are some examples of religious media, to your mind?

Do you think religious media has any of the issues secular media has?

I wouldn't expect religious media to be objective at all. I'd expect to have the same problems you ascribe to secular media: "a tool used by many to brainwash or influence to make the wrong decision."

I agree that CNN and NYT aren't very objective (at least sometimes).

It was never truly objective reporting and has been used to brainwash or influence ever since the owners realised they could. It has grown worse since that control has been consolidated into fewer and fewer hands.

"I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you....

I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin out from your tv set"
