The polite hatchet job on RT was late in the panel, but was as disconnected from facts as a panel some of a pair of local journalists put on here in Georgetown TX on women’s reproductive rights. The two “conservatives” turned it into an attack on planned parenthood. How, and why, has journalism come to mean arranging gladiatorial contests instead of seeking truth?
I agree, Joe, thanks for commenting.
It has happened because we’ve allowed the corporatization of everything in society, including media – which means facts and, of course, truth. We have been dumbed down and conditioned to place more importance on entertainment and convenient gadgets than on our civil rights, elections, legislation, court decisions, control of our food supply & medicine, fiscal policy and anything else that truly matters.
