The Current State of Media Reform
The mainstream media has faced significant scrutiny following the recent election, leading to a perception of defeat among traditional outlets and a rise in alternative media. Despite this, major media organizations, like NPR and PBS, show no inclination towards reform, even in the face of evidence proving their biased reporting. Executives from these outlets have maintained their positions, claiming not to see any bias, illustrating a disconnect with public sentiment. The failure to acknowledge and address this perceived bias reinforces a lack of accountability within the media landscape.
