The problem is, all the stupids adopt the media narrative of their choice... most stupids (on either traditional 'side') vocalise their retardness, which leaves no room for the sensible people to have rational discourse. So yeah, bitching about the media needs to be done, as much as the media need to *properly* bitch about politicians. No single or collective with as much power as politicians or the media wield, should go unchecked.

2 examples of the UK immigration 'discussion', which of course means 'questioning unchecked immigration is racist', 'we are a melting pot dammit', and 'it will cost us money if we start to introduce checked immigration' that the left media championed like fuck, and the right media foretold the apocalypse... rather than factual reporting and any old-fashioned 'cause' they may have stood for before $$$ and clicks were the end goal:

left wing newspapers:

Labour made a 'spectacular mistake' on immigration, admits Jack Straw - Telegraph

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-mistake-poles

Tony Blair admits he did not realise how many migrants would come to the UK after EU expandedÂ*

right wing paper (a shitrag tbh, and I'm not a lefty), though who knows if the claims in the book are true:

Tony Blair biography reveals PM's conspiracy to silence immigration debate* | Daily Mail Online

Point being, yes the media 100% deserve any bitching that comes their way... politicians are bad enough, the media is even worse. Who cares if the non 'stupids' don't fall for their shit... the lowest common denominator fucks it up for everyone else, and that's who the media aim for, for both $$ and for thought-sway.
