I could not agree more. I bounce back and forth between outlets to try and get to the bottom line. I used to rely on the BBC, they still do a decent job, but even they have to much opinion peaces and click bait titles. Opinion pieces are not news! CNN has serious gone downhill and its a real shame. But this is not about news sources, that's the issue. I think the problem is critical thinking and education. We as a society have not kept up with technology and society is not ready. I see big changes over the next couple generations. “The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” For now we have to bounce between new outlets and do the best we can. The truth is out there (X-Files music) I gave black a hard time because of my cynicism over a story on fox the other day, ended up being true. Its really hard to see your own biases. We see life though a lens. Anyway. We all need to get together, light a J and talk about this. We all put our pants on one leg at a time don't we? B
| Well spoken. For a rookie! Youre right the truth is out there heres the deal. Media outlets (both parties) don't make money by providing news, they make money by selling advertising. Lots and lots of advertising. In order to sell ad space at a higher i.e. profitable rate, they need higher ratings. Viewers are counted a number of ways including online. You are just a number. They can keep you tuning in by hiring hot anchor women (admit it some of those news babes are pretty damn hot) and, by sensational headlines that compel you to keep watching. Watching the news and watching the comercials. Theres no question the network owners have a bias towards one party or another that cant be argued. Im a right leaning but open minded old fart that listens to both sides. I decide what to believe or when to call b.s. Its the television business folks. watch CSPAN too if youre really really bored but you already know how theyre gonna vote. Try OAN One America News theyre kind of conservative but their stories seem to be less biased at least for now. Actually Ive been tuning in here to keep up with COVID19 that's sounds more medically accurate then coronavirus or corona virus its a total farce what some communities and states are doing but if we can slow it down a bit hot weather hits, more of the numbskulls might go outside and be healthy for a change.
