Synopsis

Mostly within a US context, the change from what is considered mainstream news being a trusted source of information - "news" in its purest sense - as late as the late twentieth century to what is largely seen a biased vehicle about and of politics is presented. The abolition of Fairness Doctrine in 1987, its existence designed to created balanced reporting of any issues which may be seen as political, started the fragmentation of news from the presentation of the trusted facts to something totally different with the onset of cable news - much of it eventually twenty-four hours a day - and news as profit-centered entertainment and sport which largely pitted the political right against the political left in what purported to be informed debate but wasn't or isn't. This situation took a spin in the late 2010s with the occupant of the White House characterizing any mainstream media who went against him as the enemy not to be trusted, and the emerging role of the largely unregulated social media as the source of choice of much "news". This situation led to the unbridled dissemination of misinformation - which flourished in most of news seeking populace seeking out such that supports their already held views - which was all the more unhelpful during the COVID-19 pandemic when true news was required to effectively deal with the situation. Mainstream journalists provide an epilogue of how they believe the collective we will emerge out of this situation to return to news as fact.
