Ultra Verified 🇺🇦 🇬🇱Great viewpoint and reporting at Salon, but this will never ever been seen on any network, high volume print or internet 'news' outlet.
Mainstream media does catch up with issues if there's enough interest.
Public sentiment is malleable.
MSM is in the business of "eyeballs on screens" but the lag time is increasing, yes.
One thing that got people suddenly interested in Social Security cutbacks is realizing that care for dementia-plagued grandparents or palliative care parents devolves to them personally.
Can you afford your suddenly indigent relatives moving in with you?

A Startling Reality: Your Aging Parent Runs Out of Money
When your aging parent outlives her money, you have decisions to make. Should you have her move in? Support her care? Learning about their limited choices is sobering for low income elders. Boomers can avoid the pitfalls your parents make with good long term financial planning for yourself.
TC Won't Give In To Lies@Npars01 @Ultraverified @QasimRashid
MSM catches up to issues ...when they are unable to distract from them.
And most media is dominated by messaging prpvided by professional distraction artists, eg communication teams or that idiot savant conman Trump.
@TCatInReality @Ultraverified @QasimRashid
Yes.
Trump tends to blurt out his most outrageous statements when there's a small chance of damaging messaging making it through that daunting gauntlet of noise.
Whenever he does this, I go looking for articles about his billionaire donors, Putin, or OPEC.
@TCatInReality @Npars01 @QasimRashid
More than just Trump.
This started in 60s. It's how we got Nixon, Kissinger, Reagan, Newt Gingrich, the Bushes and the whole kit and kaboodle. Lies. Distortions. Hysteria. Extremism. Racism. Fear.
Even Barry Goldwater said (after many years) these people are nuts.
MSM cares about Making. Money.
They don't give one damn about truth, justice, decency, fairness, or humanity. At all.
@Ultraverified @Npars01 @QasimRashid
Agreed
I was just highlighting Grump because he clearly doesn't use a comms team. He has his own, innate talent for manipulating the public sphere developed over decades
