I find it harder everyday to watch any news. I have lost my trust in most things they report. Is this just me?

Bay Kid, I don't believe I ever saw a Thread with so many Thank You's. Great job bringing up a Great question. I do believe your question boiled down to trust of news sources and wondering if it was just you who felt that way. I think you have received an array of outlooks and responses. I guess the way the news is reported has rubbed off on some of our valued posters and fellow Villagers. The same old garbage reheated and spewed and spun.

I would like to thank you. Your post has somewhat freed me from so much news. I was in a rut. I think balance is the thing that will make watching less painful. Not living this all day every day is a good thing for me and others.

Good Job Bay Kid!
That Bay Kid. Came here to see for sure his parents were doing well, liked it and found a place of his own. I have learned so much from this nice fellow. About the Chesapeake Bay, about yummy food, about life and life lessons. One of these days I am gonna shake his hand.

Thank you for your excellent presentation of a worthy subject.

I really think that the three networks; CNN, MSNBC and the largest viewed, Fox News are biased and have strong opinions in their daily "shows". The News we read online, which is where most people "get their news" as I was trying to illustrate with my computer screen shot, RARELY show what happened but give an interpretation at best and almost always at least to me, a biased view. That is why there is so much outrage. Only half of the country agree with what we see repeatedly.
