Expecting reality from mainstream media is pretty naive, especially today. We’ve witnessed the deterioration of what we thought was news into a left wing propaganda tool. They’ve willingly tossed every semblance of objectivity and credibility out the window.
Whatever you say or do will be spun to support some kind of political narrative. That is the only function of today’s media. I remember one of Chris’ old interviews with a PBS reporter, whatever Chris would say they guy kept coming back to “well I dont understand because your on the right, and what your saying sounds like the left” and “but you talk to people on the right, and how do they respond to ideas that sound like the left” and etc etc. He could not mentally step away from his left wing political position enough to just have a conversation. Everything had to be categorized as “right” or “left”. People in the media are the most extreme, political creatures on earth.
