"Sorry, Not Sorry" - Neither The Media Nor Their Owners Are Going To Change

• zerohedge.com by Jason Hirthler

 Unfortunately, this tactic didn't work so well for the Clintons in November, as the reviled populists had the last irrational, racist, sexist, brutish and barbaric word on the matter (according to assembled liberal punditry). But the statement still rings true. This is, after all, the job description of corporate media. As The Intercept's Glenn Greenwald says, the "supreme religion of the U.S. press corps is reverence for power." Their priesthood is a cabal of anonymous sources; their catechism is war everlasting. And so, the vulgar philistines on the plains, who foolishly prefer peaceful relations, steady work, and free healthcare to profiteering wars abroad, must be endlessly misled.

Don't expect this to change in the wake of the navel-gazing mainstream's historic whiff on the election–despite the occasional mea culpa and promise to overhaul its approach. Mostly because 90 percent of the MSM is owned and operated by six conglomerates that have little interest in changing the system that profits them, or in changing the editorial narratives that support the system. And most probably, like Barack Obama and Madame Secretary, because the media believes Trump voters are "a basket of deplorables" that are too unfixably ignorant to understand why Hillary was the right choice.
