Defund News Outlets

That news outlets - and not just the local ones - are just copaganda megaphones is a criticism every reporter is aware of. They could disagree with this criticism, but instead I don't think I've seen a single prominent reporter (again, this is a national problem, too, even if some of the less obviously sophisticated examples tend to be local news) even address the complaint.

(The national outlets do copaganda on issues like bail reform and "blue city/state" urban crime rates, generally ignoring all facts in favor of right wing/cop union spin on any given issue).

How do you reform that?

Local news is literally like, "An officer ODd looking at fentanyl."

Big city rags are like, "Gangbanger gets off free after trying to kill cop because of bail reform"

Prestige national outlets are like, "Here's our 95th article about why Chesa Boudin is bad."
