Since July, I have increasingly grown bitter towards American media. I have now come to the point where I actively boycott most news outlets. I simply refuse to watch most cable news networks and instead have to rely heavily on random, unbiased public radio stations and Internet sources.

Objective and fact-based news is fading off into the sunset at an alarming rate at a time it is needed most. Political commentary programs have their place on television and radio but the opinionated analysis of the actual news is now bleeding into the space of legitimate journalism. I witness far too often more time being spent on the analysis of an event than the factual reporting of all perspectives of the situation. Our national media is being hijacked at this very moment and people need to realize this.

Analysis is not a bad element within the media, as it plays an important role. It is the lazy, opinionated analysis and commentary that is flooding the circuits of television and radio though. This is the poison I am referring to. It seems as if many commentators and analysts think people are stupid – honestly, just listen to them! One will quickly notice how they generally speak down to their audience (we the people). This is just downright inappropriate and rude. We all deserve better and need to demand more.

Stand up and say no to skewed, non-objective “news”. If you enjoy politically skewed commentary shows such as Keith Olbermann, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, etc. that is just fine. These programs have their place and are not what I’m worried about here. It is the general news reporting shows that people should be concerned with. Everyone, regardless of their political ideology and preference should fight for fact-based and objective journalism. Without it our country loses focus and gets hurt on many fronts. Be honest with yourself and support your favorite objective journalism financially and socially. The time to act is now.
