I just stopped watching the local news over a month ago. I got to the point where I felt it just wasn't true (or a significant portion)and it was pushing an agenda of lies on us to control the way we think about and view the world.
I am the oldest of 3 in my family and my younger brother and I used to tease our younger sister so much it got to the point where even if we were telling the truth she just wouldn't believe us.
I liken this to the current state of our media. Even this fake news push just reaks of lies and a false agenda. Its almost a desperate act to try retain its audience and discredit their alt news competition.
My question is how do we know with the media what is the truth and what us fake. It takes trust and for me I have lost all trust in them much like my sister did with her older brothers.
Btw I agree with your post. Theres also more good in the world and by and large more good people in the world than we realise. Years of negative media has warped our perception of this.
I'm loving your response. I to wonder whats right and wrong.. I really wish there was something that could be done, Like you I am the oldest as well of 6 but when it comes to the media they dont understand their responisbilities to us as people we really do rely on what they say to know whats going on and that my friend is why they control so much.
