"The Terrible and the No Good, Very Bad, TV News"

Donald, Walter and "The Terrible and the No Good, Very Bad, TV News," is a blog by Marty Kaplan posted in the Smirking Chimp where he argues how "everyone knows that TV journalism failed us during the 2016 campaign, and how everyone knows the Media is clueless," for example about Trumps election how all the blues turned into red and it was all a shock, but he feels that maybe, "Sometimes something everyone knows is wrong."

Following statements from other media where they state that Americans no longer have faith in the media,  Kaplan feels otherwise, in a quote he congratulates journalist for their hard work, and feels that not all media is "clueless", Kaplan states that, "It’s always worth celebrating good journalism. But I can’t think of a more urgent hour than this to honor journalists for stepping up to their civic responsibility to face reality."

I cannot help but to agree with Kaplan, yes the media has disappointed us but not all media is the same. This is a problem for us Americans, since at the end of the day we are not sure who to really believe, but like Kaplan argues, I too hope that at the end of the day "at a dangerous moment, TV news can countervail against propaganda, paranoia and a president who calls news media “the enemy of the people” and “scum.” Since after all we Americans and specifically new generations rely on mass media for our news over our Government, and without at least one reliable political journalist or a media outlet, what can we hope for our future.
