THE MEDIA – MSNBC, ABC, CNN, FOX – 2% News; 190% Biased BS


I miss Walter Cronkite, I miss Peter Jennings!  Is there an honest newsman in the world who reports the NEWS?

YES, there is some news being reported whenever a major catastrophe occurs although the major networks show tremendous bias and selectiveness in WHAT and HOW they report based on the politics of their ideology. 

MSNBC and CNN opinions and quotations from news clips are frequently shown, mocked, and refuted on FOX, and the cycle ostensibly leads to MSNBC and CNN returning the favor.  Truth is that responses by MSNBC and CNN are conjectural on my part since I seldom watch those other stations. Just wondering if anyone has clocked the number of hours that MSNBC and CNN have spent bashing Trump rather than reporting any real news over the last two years?  Just wondering how many hours WILL be spent on doing the same in the next two years. Doesn't seem like anyone cares about what is happening in the country due to their all consuming obsessive hate for Donald Trump.

The news has clearly deteriorated to soap opera actors presenting and debating opposing views from biased, hardened, emotionally charged, and WILDLY overpaid opinion-caster network staff.  Mostly white, young to middle aged, dressed in designer outfits, hair immaculately groomed, paid in millions rather than thousands, these hucksters have a huge stake in keeping their viewer opinion polls as favorable as possible to keep raking in the cash.

And all they do is repeat their ideological pronouncements, argue and denounce their opposition network colleagues as unworthy, racist, unfit, conflicted….. 24/7 - over and over and over again. It's as if by repeating their fabricated, exaggerated intonations - through repetition, they truly believe the garbage that spews from their vocal cords is willed to be the truth.  

So with my understanding of this, the biggest question I have for myself is WHY I continue to watch and listen to this nonsense. 

What a world we live in. Talk about the rich vs the middle class. Whose voices are aired on TV?  Rich newscasters, rich athletes, rich actors, rich and powerful congressmen – clearly all of these groups belonging to the upper crust of America – pretending to speak for the rest of us and the poor while leaving the MAJORITY OF AMERICA voiceless. Any utterance of opposition is stomped on and condemned. But make no mistake, they live by a different set of rules, not by those that the rest of us are relegated to. No wonder so many people harbor SUCH resentment for these groups of people, but why we support them with our money and votes leaves me pitifully perplexed.
