What the hell happened to America's media

There was a time the media reported burning issues even if it was uncomfortable for some. A cartoon has closed embassies in numerous Countries, France alone has closed 20 of their embassies as result of this simple cartoon of a prophet.

I thought what the hell, I want to see what this world shaking cartoon looks like so I googled it. Not one media outlet or source I could find is carrying the most explosive cartoon in current events.

There is no doubt if the cartoon that has rocked the world was of Jesus or of former Presidents (Obama is off limits as is the prophet) it would be front page news of every outlet. What the hell happened to our media?

The media are rightfully prioritizing on the darling GOP darling, young Marco. They must always be prepared for his latest hijinks and wardrobe --or lack thereof-- choices. Surely you of all people, Justme, can hardly blame them for their focus and obsession on the hunky young Republican Latino who stirs passions and nether regions.

The short answer is money. The media has been taken over by a few corporations that have little interest in informing the public. This is why newspapers are dying and news and current event magazines will not be far behind

Radical sensationalism and controversy sell. Factual news is disappearing. Even the traditional network news refuses to tell the facts and only repeats and reports what the faux news states.
