There is absolutely no fucking doubt of it now, never in it's history has the media taken the wrong side with such an unpopular issue, because of it they are outing themselves.

So we should thank Terri for bringing about the media's downfall, don't forget, turn that shit off!

1. The photo they are using
Where did they get that photo with her hair fixed, wearing makeup and her eyes look focused.
That in itself is making her look like she is alive rather than a warm body separated from its soul.

3. Taken the wrong side, and stuck with it.
Even the polls don't seem to have fazed them. I expect some push polls soon, to try to convince people that the population is on their side.

4. They don't have any options
Profit taking has left the news industry gutted of any real reporting skills. They have turned into a script reading service that the right has played to the hilt. Only able to report on the talking points handed to them by organisations and think tanks they have become the puppets of the right.

Ever since Nixon the right has been working on overturning the media. They have succeeded with a vengence. The left did not keep up with their tactics believing that the free press should remain free of political machinations.

Now when a story is blowing up in their face they have no means of redirecting the coverage. There is no research team. There are no objective reporters. There is only Talent and Celebrity anchors. And they are only qualified to follow the script handed to them.
