Has the Media become politically driven instead of neutral facts reporters?

Seems to me the 24-hour "news" channels have stopped reporting facts and have instead become the mouthpiece for a political party. It also seems they push one political agenda while ignoring others. The whole story and accuracy are secondary to ratings.

Ehh I have to watch liberals freak out for the next 3-7 years, but I had to watch conservatives freak out for the last 8 years as well being spurned on by Fox news. Its really sad how everyone is stuck in a blame cycle and folks cant just say enough is enough, the other side may be crazy but Ill be the bigger man and change can start with me.

In my lifetime the media, in my opinion, has gone from reporting the news to, this is the news, and this is what it means. The was I look at the media today is that it is a business like any other, it needs to capture a target audience, to garner advertising, to make a profit.

If free speech had died due to the repeal of net neutrality, it would be a quieter place. Unfortunately, it didn't destroy their ability to speak and the world hasn't imploded. They just need a better education.

News outlets have become reality TV shows.
