That’s a shame—both of them.

There is nothing which the government does not touch or affect in some way.

Amen

Ironically in the age of 24-hour news, it is next to impossible to figure out what is news and what is commentary.

Can we just go back to the format of television programming turning off at midnight and coming back on for the 6am broadcast? No one needs 24 hour television.

Pardon me?

2 feel good stories yesterday. Daniel Penny found innocent, and the shooter of the Insurance CEO was caught.

News? Who watches the news? It’s just a 24hr sitcom with bad jokes!

There’s news and then there’s Fox News.

Here in the UK there’s news and then there’s GB News.

Everything’s political. God Bless America!

They can’t even agree on the colour of an orange.

They do 5 minutes an hour then 55 minutes of talking head commentary.

I love how CNN changed from Breaking News to Happening Now since it happened 6 hours ago and they still have more talking heads to talk about it, and rehash the same points over and over again. I’m sure Fox and the others do the same but I can’t watch them for more than a minute. I’ve tuned out all those stations

Or what is just plain made-up Bravo Sierra!

Our Founders made Freedom of the Press in our 1st Amendment for good reason. It is crucial for freedom to happen. In their day they only had newspapers to be sure, but each had it’s own editor and reporters who relayed the stories as they chose to. They competed with each other, and still do. The election between Adams and Jefferson was a lot of mudslinging, fake news in some of the papers. But the 1st Amendment was made with the charge that ‘WE, the People’ make the effort, separate the fly poop from the pepper to get to the truth. Just as it is now. Today it’s easier. We have a world full library sitting on our desks or on our phones. It takes the effort.

…….yep…..they have way too much time!!!!!

For an accurate picture of the influence of news media, just look at the way one major network reported on recent candidates. One was displayed in still photos – not film – which were covered by commentary. His/her comments were read by a news person, not the candidate or supporter. The other got full feature video for up to 15 seconds on camera, including full voice recording with crowd reactions. Happened all over the dial.

and "click the “like” button and “subscribe” for more accurate and straightforward “information” — oh and support me on “Patreon” and follow me on all other social media, oh and be outraged at whatever I say to be outraged on!!!! for just a few examples of how to ruin your life in 10 minutes or less.

Ain’t that the truth…….

There is no 24-hour news. There is only 24-hour opinion with a smattering of news offered as a lead into someone selling cough drops and insurance.

In 24 hours, you can spin a story an infinite number of ways from demented on the left to demented on the right

Perfect timing, after all it is Advent.

yeah the fox propaganda network

Every news person wants you to know their opinion.

There is an Advent 24-Hour News calendar. Each little door opens to give you a new meme.

The CNN Center’s gift shop?

Becomes more like reality every day.

Thank dog we emigrated to a civilized country. Have fun paying an extra 25% for Belgian Chocolate. Or any chocolate seeing none grows in the USA. Except for a small farm on the island of Hawai’i.
