I also encourage people to contact restaurants, pubs, businesses, airports and any other such establishments.

Request them to immediately stop displaying all national news media on monitors or selling any newspapers.

Speak to them directly or call them up. Help spread the word to every corner possible.

This Orwellian nonsense must end immediately.

I'm bothered by some stories being dumped down the memory-hole. Las Vegas shooting and the Fukashima disaster to name two.

Not only are they propagandic, they're literally driving people insane and violently against one another. They're profiting off division and stirring up the differences among us.
I am very glad that you have noticed this.

Tell everybody that you know. Tell them to tell everybody that they know. Keep spreading the word.

Help save our great nation. Help save freedom and democracy.

The American people are entitled to hear the unfiltered messages and opinions of representatives they directly elect to office.

That is the very basis of our nation and why it was formed over 200 years ago. That is real freedom and democracy.

Propaganda by media sources is hostile to democracy. That is why it must be stopped.

We'll get right on it, but I have some important stuff to do first. Sock drawer is a mess, cats need fed, etc.

To anybody who even agrees 1% with what I’m saying, I request you to stop watching and reading all news. That includes visiting all news websites or watching any news videos anywhere.

Do this for everybody’s sake.

The “news” media is absolutely irrelevant to your life.

Do not visit any foreign new sources.

Do not tune into C-SPAN or listen to talk radio.

They are all equally corrupt, toxic and dangerous.

They regurgitate all the same lies, misinformation and propaganda.

They are all in it for money and power. They could care less about you or our nation.

This has to stop completely and immediately.

We must fight the powers that be, in whatever shape or form they come.
Not your business and I suggest you not to build an arsenal to better illustrate your point. Also, I think I will tune into MSNBC later on in your honor. And there ain't ish you can do about it



Let me see if I have used up my free visits to WaPo now.....

I am tired of the inundation of "news" reporting that every weather disaster is the result of climate change.

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

You didn't specify that in your first post. You clearly stated ALL news sources. I go out of my way to not watch CNN, MSNBC, or FOX, but I enjoy our local news. They don't appear to be biased in any direction.
