Faith in the US media

Hey bro, I get your anger. It's probably the 4 straight posts that tipped me off.

I get that Trump was vindicated by the Mueller report. I get it that Republicans are dancing in the streets while Democrats are crying in their soup.

I guess we're not talking about the same thing here.

I'm talking about the popular narrative nowadays that EVERY NEWS on TV is Fake News.

WTF are we supposed to believe then?

Think about it.

If you can broad brush everything saying it's Fake News and move on.... where do we turn to for clarity and facts?

Or...... is that being too much of a melt?

What about CNN and their attacks on the schoolkid who did nothing wrong with the Native Indian chap? Or the Iraq War? Big or small, there is a CNN false narrative to back it up.

It’s crazy, we talk about conspiracy theories and laugh at them when we are living in one.

Ah yes..... the Iraq War. The one where Georgie went after those godawful WMD's.

Don't know who's worse. The slanted media, or the useless politicians we're lately choosing to run the country.

I consider many of them to be useful idiots. Take Theresa May, could you honestly imagine her actually functioning well in any real job? As a cleaner, as a teacher, as a writer? As anything? She is just a silly hag with a bunch of inept advisors just buying time for goodness knows what. What does she actually stand for? What does she actually believe in? Is there anything there as an actual person? I am not sure there is. It's the Blair/Cameron disease. You see the same with Trudeau, with Macron, with Merkel. These are shallow, banal, and pointless people. It is no coincidence that it is the same in every nation. Trump seems to be a little bit 'different', but I don't see a wall or controlled immigration.
