Each Day Redux

Post by RoadKing »

Isn’t it great?!?!?!

Mr. Trump is now Mr. President!!! A blessing to count each day.

Signifying monkey, stay up in your tree. Always lying and signifying, but you better not monkey with me.

I'm kinda getting sick of the daily drama associated with his presidency.
I am at the point where I don't even want to look at the news.

It's very hard to find accurate news anymore. Hell, for that matter, has it ever been? How would we know? :confused:

Yep, hard to separate the opinion from the news sometimes.

I've been surmising that it's likely wayyyy cheaper to throw a bunch of talking heads into the studio, with nothing more than a few loose talking points, than it is to go out and dig for the truth, or facts of the matter at hand. As usual, it's all about the money. :tongue:

Like everyone else, I'm sick of all the BS and rarely watch news anymore. I prefer to read news and opinion anyway. Mainstream news story teases remind me of the click-bait headlines on Facebook anymore. Donald Trump is 100% correct that It IS fake news and he's right to call them out on it as far as I'm concerned. Who else is going to do it?

Bo, as a rule, I will read a couple US commentaries, and a few overseas source's. I look at what I find in common, and what is just personal opinion gets discarded.
What's personal opinion? Anything quoted or attributed to a source, and/or anything that isn't backed up with verifiable facts. Tweet's, unedited stream, etc are verifiable.
But YES I am fed up with editorial claiming to be news. If I wanted biased unsubstantiated opinions, I would just come here.

Ya know, RK, it’s a shame that such a positive post as yours turns into such a bunch of negative stuff about the media.

I gave up on watching the news when I was about 4 :lol: Never could put my finger on why, but it always just rubbed me the wrong way. My parent's figured it was because I was so young, that as I got older I'd understand the importance of it... Nope... :hahafinger: I get everything I need to know from the "teasers" before the commercials for the show I'm actually watching ends, and from the talk radio channels I choose to listen to while driving for work. [emoji106] To sit down obediently and watch the news at 6:00 and 10:00 like it's some kind of "civic duty" makes me want to break out in hives.
:evil: [emoji56]

I have a lot of opinions, some of them professional, some of them educated, most of them I just pulled out of my @$$

Some of my best stupidity is largely self-inflicted. :roll:
