Same. Curious. Are you under 45? Like me? No one in my graduating class watches the news. Social media has created an intolerance for some opinion, so it is just sound bites that they chop up all day. Some people are even over stimulated and shut all of it out (another issue). We are all college educated with advanced degrees. Also minorities.


So how do you get your information about current events? The electorate getting factual information is necessary in a democracy.


PP here.

I have a separate account where I follow 3 primary stations from all angles in US for left/right/finance/science/religion. I look at relevant articles and then I go to source data to validate info myself. I’m a researcher so it is fairly easy for me to do. Updates occur in real time on social media. Also read public press releases and I know how to research company info and read their shareholder messaging. Global publications similar strategy. Has been working for me for years. Anyone can go to the source. Every now and then things are kept close hold but much info is public and if you have any analytical skills at all you can identify trends others pay for.

FWIW - reporting is about 50% fat (opinion and flavoring), and 50% lean (factual info and data). Sometimes 80/20, but most all broadcasters have a similar ratio of opinion and fact and implications broader than their particular interest.

Case in point: Young boy in MAGA hat (Nick Sandmann) who was cast in a false light by CNN and other major media outlets. They knew the truth. Did they present it to you? No. They took visual bites out of context and screamed about how he was making fun of POC. The public - sheeple - believed the media. The media deliberately tried to ruin this young man's life, and for what? Stirring the pot. Point ratings. Good thing this kid had character and sued them all. He's free to express his opinion, whether you like it or not. You too are free to express your opinion, whether others like it or not. That's our America at its finest. Good thing we have other platforms, such as Utube, where you can watch the exchange between Sandmann and the American Indian in its entirety. The media's attempts to ruin this young man are scarily despicable. DESPICABLE.

I don't know what the answer is.


Except Nick Sandmann was not cast in a false light. A search of videos on the internet revealed that there was a complete video of the entire interaction from start to finish, taken from directly behind Sandmann, where you could hear him and his friend making fun of the Native Americans and watch him ignore the chaperone who was trying to get him to leave. There were posted here, but it looks like they've been taken down. https://indiancountrytoday.com/news/the-whole-story-before-and-after-video-of-nathan-phillips-magayouth-and-more-_O6lTVo8M0muOgi6Foug-w

I'm sorry you feel like you're being "indoctrinated." That sounds like a psychological issue you might want to work on.


Well, this is new to me. Why'd they remove the bolded? Is it available anywhere else?


Are you serious? They were taken down because they were FAKE.



Precisely my point. That PP tried to present FALSE information with the bolded. We're in trouble, and we don't even realize it. A democracy depends on a free press. But if the press is compromised, what does that mean for a democracy?

I don't watch a lot of tv but if I do watch it for news it's typically CNN, maybe World News Tonight (ABC).

DP. There are plenty of ways to get news without watching biased network TV. The WSJ print and online is our go-to news source.

Even if it exists, so what. He's a kid. Grown ass adults making an example out of a teenager and ruining his life is beyond pathetic. That's a line that shouldn't be crossed. Would any of those cynical media types want their children treated like that?

That teenager came to DC to tell grown ass women what rights he thinks they should or shouldn’t have, and acted like an ass instead of listening to the adults who were in charge of him. Play stupid games... win stupid prizes.

Kim Iverson, Secular Talk and Jimmy Dore. They deserve lot of credit for being journalists with integrity and honesty.

pulled the plug on cable news when Wolf went live with the " Situation Room" with its game show video graphics in 2003

Its good to read a few non-murdoch owned papers and then compare to WSJ. Somewhere between the lines in there is something approaching honest examination of the political and economic trials of the 6 Bil residents of the planet
