That makes two of us.

My wife had CNN on yesterday and I just started laughing. I had been saying it for years, but all proven now.

Always be skeptical of mass media outlets who pander to selected political and social leanings. All of them. Todays 'media' is not out Grandfathers media. Skeptical to mean cross reference your sources, read and do research on what you disagree with and never eeeeeever buy into political affiliations with mute meek unshaken allegiance.

It truly has become fake news and it’s very disappointing

I believe we can just label everything on TV/other media Fake News and be done with it. That's the lazy way out.

I believe we need to scrutinize and try and separate the wheat from the chaff.

Some TV talking heads are so biased you can practically see the spittle flying when they're talking about Trump. Shame they still have jobs in supposedly reputable networks.

At some point this will have to come to a head and get resolved, because unfortunately we all don't own time-warp vehicles, where we can project ourselves into where news is being made so we can come to our own conclusions.

For now we'll just have to use our own super-powers of discernment.
