I don’t see a way out of this, I suppose we should all just get used to living in reality tunnels and learn to get along with people with opposite beliefs.

That'll never happen most likely. I live in San Francisco, you can get screamed at and assaulted for "getting along" with people.

It seems it’s a very corrupt institution and probably always has been. For a while there they made people believe them to be the “fourth estate” the defenders of the democratic faith, etc. Sadly, it seems it was all a rouse and a bullshit narrative.

They are not defending the constitution in any way. All they care about is whatever happens to be their particular agenda at a particular point in time which may coincide with constitutional interests.

I’m not referring to your local beat reporter but rather your journalists with renown who bask in the power they feel they have and aren’t shy to wield their symbolic swords.

Gonna disagree there. I’ve worked with journalists (am not one) and it’s not BS as you seem to suggest.

Careful, Greenwald has gone a bit off the rails recently.

Nope, I've watched a few recent interviews with Greenwald, and everything he said matches non-MSM media sources (NTD Media, other interviews.)

Don't believe a single word on cnn.com for starters.
