Isn't this what got them in trouble in the first place?
MSM has been framing the news in "how you should feel about this" terms for decades. That's not so much what has gotten them in trouble lately, though. It has much more to do with the fact that what they want us to think is so far removed from what America is all about.
Americans don't mind opinion or emotion when discussing current events. Conservative talk radio is openly biased with opinion and emotion. And it's extremely popular with the public. What Americans do mind, however, is the continual drumbeat of America bashing that has been the main course of traditional journalism for more than a generation.
Americans are proud of who they are and the country they live in and what it stands for. If you continually throw mud at what we believe is the greatest country on the face of the earth you will, in the words of Merle Haggard, get on "The Fightin' Side of Me".
