I thought this would be a good one.
We all need to know what is going with at least some things in our world but I get pretty fed up with the sources of "news".
I watch very little "news" but I have a family member that I'm around a lot that watches it CONSTANTLY so I hear it like it or not.
It seems to me that watching the national news that the networks political agenda or whatever minority they favor is much more important than the news itself.
I remember a few years back that I could watch one channel and hear how great we were doing in the war and the other channel how bad we were doing!
I feel like a fool for even listening to this stuff. I feel like I'm just being brainwashed into thinking whatever they want me too!
My local news is the same way. They selectively cover just what they want.
I bought my parents another newspaper because it was cheaper so they could check it out and see if the like it.
Well they read both now. Some of the stories will be completely ignored in the one and a big story in the other.
I think the media is super bias and I get really sick of it.
I feel they sort of have a responsibility to tell you what is going on without distorting everything.
I would like to know what is going on without all the BS!
I just wanted to see if I'm alone on feeling this way about the news.
