Please point out the times the NYT was wrong, but refused to admit it.
Secondly, cable news is difficult to treat seriously.
Thirdly, please show me where Greenwald says he does not give a crap about truth.
Fourthly, I take it as an attack on journalists because you imply their intent is malicious.
Lastly, you have yet to provide evidence for your claims. Give me sources. Just like a journalist or a research paper, you need to cite sources. You can say the New York Times has a slight liberal slant, but give me a source! (You're right, but where is your source?)
Yes, it's a problem that the electorate isn't educated enough. This isn't a modern problem. In fact, two media theorists — John Dewey and Walter Lippmann — came to different conclusions on whether it's possible to have an informed electorate to make smart, macro decisions. Lippmann argued that it's not possible, and Dewey argued that it is. But in either case, there is either a public or a highly-informed class of the public that is informed enough to call out politicians and journalists on false information. You, for example, seem to have called BS on some reporting in your field of expertise. And this happens for other fields, too, like politics and economics. But this process makes the system stronger — and the internet, which allows for hyperspecialization, has strengthened this system. However, it only works if there are enough active participants in this system. This is where we've failed.
