Fake News Network

2017-02-25

I used to view the news as an objective presentation of the events without commentary unless it was formally stated up front as being so.

Nowadays I am very particular about those sources from which I glean my informaion and I always cross check items between sources in an effort to avoid the "fake" news so prevalent in the mainstream media.

For example, I have always known that my local paper was a yellow journalistic manipulator of public opinion. I have never relied on it for information for that very reason.

I once viewed CNN as this staid uncorruptable source for information until the last election whereby they showed their true liberal colors and vitriol spitting slant on everything with which they do not agree. As one of Hillary Clinton's 'basket of deplorables' it is my honor to call these putrid news sources out to influence first and report second or third exactly what they are. I now decline to even read much of CNN but remain glad for that skepticism it ingrained in my psyche ... though the lost trust I endure is truly lamentable.
