The news channel such as Fox, CNN or MSNBC, have sliced their programs between a series of hosts of TV shows that have nothing to do with journalism. There are no real journalists to speak of on television: the topics are chosen for their appeal to viewers, the driving force being advertising. The Factcheck function that used to be the privilege of journalists had to be outsourced to obtain a minimum of objectivity. The fact that Donald Trump made millions and let NBC make millions in TV shows made him a perfect product for the media to over-cover. The Commission should have been all over the composition of the moderators of presidential debates that represents a huge way of financing some campaigns against others.
