But the media landscape has really changed, and now they're turning more toward the outlets that tell them what they want to hear.

That says it all... it's not about the "real" news stories - it's about people's preconceived ideas of those stories.

I agree.  They (Faux News) generate the propoganda then they generate the programming to support that propoganda.  It's a nice little package that keeps everybody stormed up and keeps their bobbleheads paid.  Pretty slick sick.
