They need to be screwed big time IMO.
We need the media in a democracy. But reporting needs to be balanced.
If there ever was a good ole days of actual reporting where a "reporter" actually went out, talked to people, compiled the facts and put it all out there for everyone to see and make up their mind, well those days are long gone for the most part. Any "reporter" these days pretty much has to exist outside of the big media conglomerates and be crowd funded. It's all "journalism" these days in the big media and you tow the line for your masters in the government and conglomerate or else.
This is why gun owners have to be organized politically at state and federal levels plus invest in PR. Here in the US we have the GOA, the NRA and other organizations and we have to have them or else we're done.
