Dragging Dr. Phil and Oprah into Mark "Me Too" Halperin's shit pile is . . . unseemly.

Oprah, maybe. Dr. (two letters you can't spell "defrocked" without) Phil? Not in my book.

Tapper like Megan Kelly , Hannity,, Joe Sacr, La-La ingraham to David Brooks and Joe Rogan are not journalists reporters. They ae entertainers and not very good at it.
They take news reports and slant a it, dramatize it, use it to point blame, etc..
Colbert, Kimmel are entertainers that are not journalists and take reported news and entertain with i. Except they are very entertaining.
When we have wealthy people buy news organizations to park their money and "PLAY" editor not truth seeker. It is first and foremost their business to use as a power for their gain. Not about discovery, educating the public who is willing to pay for such an ideal. At least in the past.
It is not just the digital rise that hurt news papers. It is their organizational direction change to protecting the comfortable and condemning the uncomfortable. To use it to propagandize the public.
You cannot do that without paid lying assholes. Which I do not subscribe to read nor tune in to watch and listen.
There is nothing wrong with listening to opinions on reported news. I simply have standards which it must be beneficial, thought provoking and earnest sincerity.
The pay day receptors will have to make ddue with the village idiots. Which creates a entirely new problem.
