Every news source, whether broadcast or written, has become corrupt and 100% propaganda. All the information they produce, without exception, is giving a false view of reality.

News sources have become toxic and dangerous. They are a form of mind control. Liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, it makes no difference.

They have become as dangerous as any authoritarian government or religious institution.

Therefore, I call on everyone to abandon all news sources immediately.

I did the same a few weeks ago.

No need for that level of drama or drastic measure. One can scour out the facts and apply their own logic and form their own opinions if they confirm facts and understand the bias of whomever is doing the reporting. Sallying up to the news trough and sucking down whatever they dish out is lazy, its on people to actually understand what they are consuming.

Sorry, I enjoy hearing like minded people telling it like it is. You may want biased news, like FOX, but some of us agree with most of the information on the other stations. You just have to be intelligent enough to sift through what you hear and sort out the truth.

At this point, there is.

Like I said, the news has become 100% propaganda.

The news anchors and reporters are all corrupt and in it for money and power. There is zero honesty left.

It is not possible for most people to pick and choose the real information and decide for themselves anymore.

Why not ? That is why God gave us a brain. I don't agree with every single word on those stations, but I take what I want and leave the rest.

No, I haven't noticed anything like that.

My local news reports are quite informative and helpful.

I am talking about the national and big news sources.

Local news is different. Although you still have to be careful and verify everything to make sure they are reporting fairly and accurately.

Nah, I'm smart enough and put enough value in knowledge to seek it out and understand things.

This country and this world needs lots more people who aren't so lazy, and who understand that nobody is here to spoon feed them. No one news source will ever be 100%, as soon as people own that fact and make an effort to fill the gaps with your own research and logic we will all be better off.
