More Phony Outrage.

The only major change in newspapers over the last half a century is consolidation of ownership into the hands of a few corporate giants.  Time was if you didn't like the bias, propaganda, yellow journalism (call it what you will) from one paper. You could step to the other end of the news stand and find one that presented a different view or find one with a view different than either of the others.

In the public realm that almost never happens anymore. Outside of three or four of the largest cities there is only one paper available and most of these are owned by chains controlled by the large papers like the NYTimes, the Chicago Tribute or the Los Angles time. They even freely print each other's opinions and so-called news stories so freely as to be completely homogenous in there out put.

They all preach "diversity" except in that one most important realm - opinion! The NYTimes has even written that when it comes to Donald Trump they no longer feel they have any obligation to journalist ethics! As if they hadn't abandoned those years ago.

A media system wants ostensible diversity
that masks uniformity. 

The "fourth estate" is no longer the people's watchdog on government corruption and fraud. It has become government's mouthpiece, its ministry of propaganda. Joseph Goebbels is looking up from hell and smiling as newspapers and news media have sold their souls to the same devil he served.
