My point is that the three major news networks are just political talking heads, giving their opinion, mostly on politics, occasionally breaking for hard news, usually national disasters which are soon interpreted by whether or not this would have happened because; (you got it)

I remember clearly when who, what, when,where and why was the criteria of good reporting and not the opinion of the owner of the company that broadcast. I understand about business competition, ratings and clickbait, but the stress engendered by broadcasting incendiary wording is changing the country in a bad way. Everyone is ready to BITE. Oh I long for JUST THE FACTS!
