Objective print newspapers, able to afford knowledgeable staffs to do more than read the police blotter and give a distorted picture of crime statistics. But as long as broadcast "news" and social media rips off what little remains of true newspapers to feed their opinion rants for free, while grabbing the lion's share of advertising revenue streams, and getting people to cut their subscriptions, they are headed to extinction. Already dinosaurs like me. I fear the profession I entered at age 14, and got my degree in, was an endangered species before I reached adulthood.
@dancingtongue It's a product of capitalism, I'm afraid. There's too much emphasis on turning a profit, getting ratings, getting subscribers, and you don't do that by objectively reporting events. You have to shock people, then charge them for the full story.
@LordShadowfire It's an abdication of accountability, personal responsibility, sense of community in today's society, imho. Freedom of the Press was so much on the minds of the Founding Fathers for the above reasons, and a primary reason for creation of the Postal Service was for sharing newspapers between the colonies/states. Not that those newspapers were objective and balanced; au contraire, most were founded to promote their editorial positions and biases. But communities held them accountable for being somewhat factual about their own communities, and there were competing newspapers in communities of any size. And the citizenry felt an obligation to be knowledgeable about their communities and their government, so subscribed to one or more to keep informed.
But the capitalist chase of profits above principle is part of the problem, which is why when "free" broadcast media came into being with radio, TV, this obligation of accountability, objectivity, equal time was spelled out by the FCC in its requirements to use the air waves. There had to be airtime devoted to local news, news had to be separate from entertainment, equal time for political views, time community/public service. Then the lobbyists and politicians managed to gut those FCC requirements, and the days of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite were over, and 60 Minutes ushered in the current era of "news" as profitable entertainment.
Pantene Age Defy deep conditioning treatment. It used to come in a little jar, or small tubes, and I used to apply it full strength directly to my hair. It was the only thing that would control the frizzies. Not even Frizz Eze controls it.
neutrogena ultra sheer facial mist sunscreen, which ironically was discontinued because it caused cancer. I don’t want the benzene, but that sunscreen made my skin look so good
Lol…… not desperately but I do wish several Bath & Body Works products would make a comeback. Never fails, as soon as I really like something it gets discontinued. 😠
I just googled them - very impressive chain! I'm from Canada - we may finally get something like this in decade or so from now (unless we become a state soon... LOL)
