Whatever happened to dependable journalism? Remember when a reporter actually had principles and exercised them. Or at least made an honest effort to report both sides of the truth. But what is the truth? Isn't it simply what you as an individual have concluded to believe is right? If this is so don't you need all available information to make a truly informed decision? 

 

The explosion of the internet and more specifically the unfettered growth of blogs and self-proclaimed "news" sources have given birth to an individual right?? to plaster their opinion all over the globe and use misinformation and partial information to push their agenda be it good, bad or simply self-gratifying. The worst part of this is that sheeple, and you know the type, take this as the truth and harness themselves to the bandwagon and go full out with guns ablaze to convince people of the truth with the attitude of don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up.

 

Social media throws gasoline on this truth and fans the flames like a wind tunnel on steroids. Then the sheeple choose a side and start breathing fire like the mythical dragon not realizing, or caring, that so much that they are parroting is as real as that mythical dragon. Then talk about how messed up and despicable the world is. Never realizing that THEY are a big part of the problem and no part of the solution!

 

So in my humble opinion until the mainstream media, Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, NY TIMES, etc. stops reporting with only the information that they want you to hear and gets back to having real principles and doing their due diligence and reporting ALL SIDES of an issue nothing has a chance to improve. Don't get me started about the bloggers and independent journalists that post for clickbait or just to garner as many sheeple's to their flock as possible. As my wise grandparents used to say,

"They aren't worth the gunpowder to blow them to hades".     

 

 

  Pay no attention to them. 

Their opinion does not count.
