Katie Couric, of Today fame, gave a interview in the past week...noting she has the belief that 'most' people want to be guided to one central theme/belief, and NOT both sides of a story.
I kinda stopped the podcast at that point....spending some time thinking over the implications.
This is kinda like having one religious guy stand up and voice that you need to follow their 'truth', and an hour later....you realize it's mostly a cult thing. In the news media, you can have cults as well.
Up through the 1980s....most newspapers, magazines and news shows....tried to be neutral and give you both sides of the story. Today? I can't think of any newspaper or news show that tries hard to tell both sides of the story.
