We live in very chaotic and confusing times.<\/p>\n
The stories and reports we Americans get are sometimes too much to absorb. Most of us simply are trying to get by,\" the last thing we need is a mendacious media.<\/p>\n
The media has force-fed us lie after lie, till it has appeared as truth the Left announces falsities as truisms. The American media has become a partisan-agent of chaos; television news is all synchronized, so propaganda knows no limits here now.<\/p>\n
Local journalism is the back-bone of any city; local newspapers and stations still matter tremendously to the nation. However, the national high-tower companies are peddling quantity over quality partisan opinion over investigative fact.<\/p>\n
Its troubling to know that Fake News is actually a real thing. Narratives are created day-in-day-out. Character assassinations are performed hear sayers have open-mic sessions on national television now.<\/p>\n
To put it very bluntly, the news media have been weaponized; political correctness and half-truths are what they shovel. Very partisan political-factions have merged with journalistic institutions, and now the past, present, and future are all narratives.<\/p>\n
\"Control the narrative, control the nation.\"<\/p>\n
Those in power are swaying journalism in America; we have a polarized, more than corporate institution that was once united for truth and founded upon egalitarian principles. Now media, especially TV, have become 'Orwellian' in nature; facts are no longer the media's concern.<\/p>\n
The weaponization of the media is a threat to all of democracy. The free press must remain utterly free to operate for the American people. Propaganda is inevitable. However, mass-deception should not be the norm to allow MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, etc., to keep getting away with deceiving the public must not be allowed.<\/p>\n
Its all a political-machine, intended to be a circus, for the primary purpose of distracting us from the real, tangible, and fixable issues affecting our property, wallets, and families.<\/p>\n
America is ranked as one of the deadliest places to be a journalist, behind Afghanistan, Syria, Mexico and Yemen.<\/p>\n
No wonder we cant get the truth to tell it is quite risky.<\/p>\n
