I haven't for at least 7 or 8 years.
I can't stomach it. There is no real news outlet anymore.
Honestly, I think if you are still watching Fox or CNN (or all the others) you must be a sucker for punishment.
Staying informed today, by design, is nearly impossible. It is time consuming, requires significant information vetting on your own and even then it is hard to believe.
All by design.
The media today is all crap all the time.
Anyone who takes any of the cable news networks seriously is an absolute moron with a beak and a birdbrain.
They are not just liars, those in the "news" today are all traitors many times over.
They do say ignorance is bliss. Personally I get most of my news from the Wash Post, NPR, some Fox News, and the BBC and then look to USMB for balance. If you live in a bubble you're worthless but if you repeat lies you're dangerous.I haven't for at least 7 or 8 years.

The idea that the news is biased has been around since the days when the Acta Diurna was first hung in the Roman Forum.
We are all human so news organizations have made mistakes. In this era of 24 hour news, there seem to be more mistakes in the past though that is because stories are being instantly broadcasted and change with changing facts on the air.
Mistakes do not make news organizations liars, especially to those that correct those mistakes like the CNN or the NYTs.
The problem with news these days is the merger of news, entertainment and opinion. They all do it. It is therefore no surprise that people are skeptical.
However, what has has changed is not that the news is biased but that we can watch the same video or read the same set of facts and come to two separate conclusions or truths.
I am digressing, it Is healthy to get news from multiple sources. The secret is differentiating the news from the opinion.
We know that CNN and the Voice of the Reich (NY Times) provide less accurate news than Pravda under Stalin did. The MSM is pure propaganda - just part of the DNC.

The press decided on Trump eh,,,,,,,,thats a good oneNot since they decided on Hillary and Trump for candidates.
Dropped it twenty years ago and never looked back. TV news, TV in general really, is a fear machine. The few times I've happened to see bits of it, I'm utterly repelled. Once you're away from it for a while, it really becomes intolerable.I haven't for at least 7 or 8 years.
I can't stomach it. There is no real news outlet anymore.

No. We search the net for scraps of seemingly truthful news and we ride around our area daily checking "things" out and talking to other locals. We also listen to public safety radio traffic, on local and federal levels. Mainstream Media "news" sources are carefully engineered government shills carrying out assigned psychological operations. There is no Right or Left. Politically speaking it's all the same dying animal rotting from the inside out and trying to take everyone down with it.I haven't for at least 7 or 8 years.

Your comment clearly reflects your ignorance of what the Marxist Media in this Country has become.My post was as anodyne as it gets. I wrote that we should all get news from multiple sources.

That level of Ignorance clearly reflects the fact you are a Leftist Sheeple.
Anyone who believes anything published by the MSM in this Country today is a Gullible Fool ... aka a Leftist.

Yet you still suck at the lying tit of the former president.Yep, I realized about 15 years ago how much I was being lied to. TV is used very judiciously in my home and never ever is it the mainstream presstitutes and whorrespondents.
