Thanks to recent attacks on journalists. America has been named one of the most dangerous places to be a journalist recently. It was nice to see the journalists ring in a new year by dropping the ball last night. Yes, we all can agree that the media has a lot of problems in this country. Here are some ideas on what it should do this year. These are pretty reasonable suggestions:
- More analysis of past failures of public figures/politicians before we as society prop them up
- call lies lies
- stop putting habitual liars who have signed Trump NDAs on TV
- stop giving equal time to racists, white supremacists, climate deniers to get "the other side" of the story
- stop pretending to care about diversity and inclusion if you’re not going to track and work to improve numbers.
- Real-live fact-checking while the President is speaking (also call him out more to his face)
- Deep dives into the background of ALL political candidates.
- Don't let politicians and talking heads dictate the content.
- If you ask a question and they didn't answer the question, keep asking them the same question until they do
- Balance the Trump nonsense and don't fall for shiny distractions put out by the WH.
- Give victims ample air-time in sexual assault investigations (If they are brave enough to go on)
- Don't show Trump rallies

"recent attacks on journalists"??? What attacks?
Oh...wait...are you counting the attacks on right wing journalists by the left?
Which credible journalists are routinely attacked by "the left"?
I didn't say anything about "credible" and neither did the OP. In any case, that's a judgement call that I'll leave up to you.
