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!

Thank you. I used to love morning news. Now they all spend the 1st 15 minutes with their own agenda. So sad.

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 a to me, biased view. That is why there is so much outrage. Only half of the country agree with what we see repeatedly.

The TV news business has gotten really lazy. How many times do I have to hear "After the break we will hear from our all-star panel"? Frankly I don't like or believe your all-star panel. Panels are simply a lazy way for the networks to fill airtime with talking heads. And it's obvious that these talking heads get their talking points from their ideological leaders (DNC, RNC, Heritage Foundation, Brookings, etc.). Left wingers and right wingers on all networks make the same points, using the same language. Is anyone else tired or hearing the term "existential threat"?

That is MSNBC, Fox Cable, CNN, etc, usually and not the regular stations like CBS, NBC and ABC.

What you describe is called "headline reading" , and relying on that is worse than doing nothing. If that is a source of NEWS then those who do that can't possibly be even remotely informed.

And that's only because MSNBC, Fox, CNN are 24/7/365.
CBS, NBC, ABC have certain time slots to fill.

There are many stations now so they compete for audiences.

The panels they bring up also seem to vary a great deal as to the qualifications of these guests. Some stations are much better than others with whom they give the spotlight to at any given moment.

I watch CNN quite often and they often have people from various different agendas on their programs.

Other stations look more like a Saturday Night Live parody of real life.
