I'll take an uneducated guess. It's because today facts don't matter. Feelings and propaganda rule the day. I am personal friends with a Journalist a good one too. I asked her "What the hell is going on with the people who are tasked with delivering information to the American public" ? Her answer " They were trained by the same people and coached by " History" teachers. I do my job like it supposed to be done and let the chips fall. I can't speak for anyone else".
