My Personal Opinion Only. Disclaimer

It amazes me that north of 50% of the US is blinded by the targeted propaganda 90% of the media dishes out. Furthermore there are only two things that are correct in any print media, the date and the writer, everything else is bias motivated opinion.

USA is in a battle of Cultural and Social Identity that has a very concerning blend of extremism. All of this nicely bow-tied under the umbrella of climate change.

It is very dangerous and extremely reckless to act in this manner. There are ways to voice an opinion respectfully, however, to act in such contentious disregard just to be noticed is sad. Then, the bully wagon gets on board and fuels this noise for the clicks and ratings ..... The Main Stream Media.

Do you really, really think the politicizations, media and activists care about you personally and your family? Is so, then your blinded by the crap they all spew out. All "THEY" care about is power and the agenda, everything else they do not give two shits about. It is all about the control. The more control they have, the less freedom you have. Think about this?

Are you perfectly willing to be told or controlled what you can do and not do? What you can say in a opinion and not say, without being Canceled by the Woke Mob?

Wake Up.... Anarchy and Fascism is a oxymoron and neither has a place in a free civil and moral society, anywhere on this planet. It must be replaced by respect. We must look equally, because not matter what everyone will bleed the same color --- RED. Stop it!

In the Name if the crazy Climate Change folks. Relax. The World is not going to be self destructed like you are peddling. Lets just be better stewards of the earth and not take for granted the gift of its resources. Treat our planet with care, but there is a limit on the extremism.

To the LGBTQ+, It does not matter. Choosing to be Gay is just as dumb as Choosing to be Straight. That is who you are, and should be loved and respected. Others who peddle the opposite simply can KMA. Just a work of caution, Respect does go both ways. I know first hand, trust me.

To all others, Especially the Karen's and Rednecks. Ya'll just need to dial your BS back. It is both unwelcome, disrespectful and totally lacks civility. Besides, why would you want to advertise a single digit IQ?

It used to be that opinion pieces, especially on television and radio, had
to be labeled as such. I don't know exactly when or why, but something
changed (for the worse) and that is no longer true. The cable news
networks, in particular, are bad about this.

IMHO, whatever changed to allow this is the root of many of our problems
today.

I think it started around the time of the OJ Simpson trial.

It's because the "news" went from being news read by actual journalists to being soft news and commentary being read by commentators with no integrity.

I mean, Walter Cronkite was a raging liberal but you'd never known it by watching his broadcasts. Same with Peter Jennings. Dan Rather just turned out to be an idiot. Still, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

I think you might be right, but I was under the impression that at least
local network affiliates in the US were under some sort of restriction and
were required to label opinion/editorial/etc. as such.

Local affiliates might still be, but it is obvious the cable news networks,
and the over-the-air networks, are apparently no longer restricted in this manner.

You're thinking of the Fairness Doctrine which was abolished by the FCC
in 1987.

That could be. We had a local station or two that continued to label editorials as such much later than that, but they were alone in doing so.
