So you assume I watch that channel which I don’t by the way.
His post is typical, but it brings up yet another point as to what has happened to our society. I remember when I first got cable television. It was 1980, and CNN had first started broadcasting around the clock news.
It was really good and convenient. It came out about the same time as The Weather Channel and MTV. No matter what time of the day or night, you could get a complete news broadcast at the top, and the bottom of every hour. Same with the weather. All with up to the minute accuracy. Events unfolded as you watched.
The Reagan assassination attempt. The first Space Shuttle Launch. The Challenger explosion. The concept was good, and the content and presentation was even better.
Because it was all delivered with no bias. It was much the same with the 3 network news broadcasts. Stories were presented in a fair and accurate manner.
Today, both cable and network news has been drowned out in a sea of bias. It has literally become worse than TASS or Pravda in the old Soviet Union. Every news show on television today is saturated with bias. One way or the other. It has gotten to the point you can't even watch it seriously any longer.
It's no longer informative. It's nothing but cheap sensationalism, and it's divisive. All of it. But many people who watch it believe what they're being told. Unconditionally, and without questioning any of it.
At least they did. Now the ratings at CNN are so bad, they're cleaning house over there, in an attempt to salvage something. What I have no idea. Today's news programming is an unmitigated disaster. They attach politics to any and all of it. His post just told you that, if anything.
