    The cows come home

    In an open and startling essay a senior editor at PBS admitted what many of us have been saying all along about mediacorruption and bias.

    "Again, politics were blotting out the curiosity and independence that ought to have been driving our work."
    - The Free Press

    Yep - we're seeing this too much lately, particularly considering how divisive and partisan our society has become.

    Will it matter, or will most Americans shrug and, "Meh?"

    I think there are two primary groups:

    1. Those who fail to see their ingrained biases and continue to deny them, thus avoiding confronting them.
    2. Those who work at continually building their biases with full intent to mislead the "formable" in their audience.

    Adam Schiff would most certainly be in category 2.

    As would be expected NPR has suspended the author of the essay. Seems like they can't handle the truth. The network is totally corrupted.
