If You Think The Media Skewers The News Today

If you seriously believe the mainstream media has a bias today you should have been around when Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst ran controlled the news cycle. As an example, "Remember The Maine".

In case you don't know Hearts and Pulitzer were competitive newspaper publishers in the 1890's. They created a new phrase in that period called "Yellow Journalism'.  The definition of which is

"Journalism that exploits, distorts, or exaggerates the news to create sensations and attract readers"

Does this sound familiar? The boobs we have on television learned from the masters.
