PragerU Video: Why No One Trusts the Mainstream Media

Former CBS reporter Sheryl Atkisson, one of the few honest journalists with mainstream media chops, discusses why there is such distrust of the establishment media.

Opinion has become news in this bizarre world of 21st century journalism. And innocent misstatements by liberals such as Barack Obama--remember his 57 states comment?--are for the most part ignored. He meant to say 47 states, Atkisson reminds us. But when Sarah Palin said, "We've got to stand by our North Korean allies," the propagandists in the media piled on. Palin of course meant "South Korea."

Atkisson's PragerU video about the mainstream media should be required viewing at every journalism school in the country.
