you said, "that they're going to be devoted to pursuing the same ideological framework. "

It seems to me, it's more like the mainstream media aren't all just devoted to pursuing the same ideological framework-- they are all devoted to pursuing the same ideological outcome. Their goal has ceased being 'reporting the news'. Their goal now is 'social change'. And that goals has become so important to them, they have completely sacrificed honesty and objectivity in reporting to try to achieve it. Which means what the mainstream media is peddling now isn't 'news'-- it is 'propaganda'. No thanks. As far as I can see, the sooner mainstream media dies, the better off we will all be. Better to be ignorant than to rely on professional liars.
