RE: Why we need Steemit: 42% of Republicans say accurate, negative stories are fake news [dTube]
Read your own quote: "The news media or news industry are forms of mass media that focus on delivering news to the general public or a target public...."
It doesn't say 'excluding these things'.
"These include print media (newspapers, newsmagazines)"
Yeah. Those aren't things anymore. Welcome to the 21st century. Don't put your investments in papers or books. They're not doing so good.
"These include..." So.... you could call them 'distinct entities' within the Media...
How was I misinformed exactly?
You're terribly misinformed. You keep drawing a distinction that doesn't exist, that the "media" doesn't include print newspapers. It does. The New York Times continues to enjoy its position in the industry as being the nation's "paper of record." It's the gold standard against which all the media outlets are compared. You act as if you follow politics, and you don't know that? What about the Washington Post? They have always provided leadership investigating political matters in Washington, from the Watergate impeachment to the Trump-Russia investigation.
You seem quick to dismiss their impact on society with your breathtakingly arrogant comment welcoming us to the 21st century. So you're a fanboy of all those clickbait news ads on the internet, just because they're making money? Or maybe you get your news from Facebook (of all things), with "fake news" written by people inspired by propaganda written by state-run media Russia Today? Or maybe you're a fan of internet sites like Breitbart, posting "articles" that are 100% opinion (from the lunatic fringe), and 0% corroboration from legitimate sources? The internet distributes garbage, because there are no adults providing editorial oversight. Yet, you probably think that reading that stuff makes you "woke," right? LOL
"that the "media" doesn't include print newspapers."
I never said that. Pull your head out of your ass.
