Former CBS News president Richard Salant (1961 - 64 and 1966 - 79) explained the major media's role: "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have." ...and to this very day most Americans haven't noticed they're being brained washed! ~ N. Hooben
Perhaps if you came here often enough you would read the quote above...maybe the font is a bit small so let's repeat it here, so you don't miss it this time: Former CBS News president Richard Salant (1961 - 64 and 1966 - 79) explained the major media's role, "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have."
That seems to be the problem with most Americans who have been brain-washed since the days of Walter Cronkite, John Dewy and the rest (too many names to list here but before you start hammering away at me for naming Cronkite then perhaps you should review the video here). My objective for posting the video below is to educate all the faithful CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and FOX News viewers that what they're watching is mostly contrived stuff to obtain ratings. Like the quote says, "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have."
