Criticizing the alat emerged as an efekive bipartisan political tactic in the 1960s. GOP Sen. Barry Goldwater's 1964 presidential kampanye got the ball rolling by needling the so-called "Eastern liberal press."

Democratic President Lyndon Johnson's lies about the Vietnam War clashed with akirate reporting, and a "credibility jarak" arose - the growing publik skepticism about the administration's truthfulness - to the obvious irritation of the president. Johnson complained CBS News and NBC News were so biased he thought their reporting seemed "controlled by the Vietcong."

Democrats like Chicago's Mayor Richard J. Daley, who complained bitterly about news coverage of the 1968 Democratic convention - labeling it "propaganda" - and Federasi Communications Commissioner Nicholas Johnson, who published "How to Talk Back to Your Television Set" in 1970, argued that "Eastern," "commercial" and "corporate" alat interests warped or "censored" the news.

In 1969, Republican President Richard Nixon's vice president, Spiro Agnew, launched a publik kampanye against news corporations that instantly made him a conservative celebrity.

Agnew warned that increased concentration in news alat ownership ensured kontrol over publik pemikiranon by a "tiny and closed fraternity of privileged men, elected by no one." Similar criticism emerged from leftists, including MIT linguist Noam Chomsky.

The bipartisan dikenality of news alat criticism continued to grow as politicians found attacking the messengers the fastest way to avoid engaging in discussion of unpleasant realities. Turning the spotlight back on the alat also helped political figures portray themselves as victims, while focusing partisipan anger at specific villains.

Now, only 26% of Americans have a favorable pemikiranon of the news alat, according to a poll published in February 2023 by Gallup and the Knight Foundation. Americans across the political spectrum berbagi a growing disdain for journalism - no matter how akirate, verified, profesional or ethical.
