Possibly, already answered a thousand different ways in 'General Politics'. But, looking for all Christian response; Has the mainstream-media acquired the ability to seduce the critical mind, at-large? Essentially, churning out willing souls to address their many whims however it may lead?

Thanks!

Has the mainstream-media acquired the ability to seduce the critical mind, at-large?

The MSM is a constant drumbeat 24/7 and it certainly is persuasive. And speaking of consorting with the enemy, how many Trump voters regularly lend their eyes and ears to the MSM daily patter? My guess is well over 75%?

And the MSM takes charge of the day's events and dialog. A prime example is the brutal battle for control of the skies over Israel. Hamas has fired 3,000 (and counting) indiscriminate rockets into Israel yet the MSM directs most of the conversation to the inevitable civilian deaths and casualties resulting form the Israeli response to these random attacks on its citizens.

This is the MSM and free speech at its best but journalism at its worst ...

At some point, I do not know exactly when, reporters stopped being investigators interested in obtaining the truth and became advocates for liberal values.

Today's MSM reports parlor gossip rather than news.

There was a time when they reported what was actually taking place and not censor the facts in order to be politically correct.

So very true. I have family who could attest to this acurately having first hand experience when academia and the neutral initiative news were at a high priority!

I think its safe to say, few would question whether there is a malignant form of reporting today. Now while the consolations we derive from our chosen source may be legitimate, does the report fare truly legitimate when brought to the table in concert across say a dozen networks?

More like progressive values, but yeah. Unfortunately, these days the mainstream media is little more than the propaganda wing of the Democratic party.
