Thought about this today as I listened to the B.S. about the elections on Tuesday.
MSNBC, CNN and the like tell a crap ton of lies every single day. I’m certain FOX, Blaze and the like do as well. Or at least they all frame it as one thing or another or simply leave stuff out. So it occurred to me, and this is based on something I realized 48 years ago. There are things going on, put together by our Government that NOBODY IS REPORTING ON. I was involved in it, I saw it first hand, I asked the questions, as a teenaged GI and was told “Don’t Ever Ask That Question Again.”. Not little stuff, BIG Stuff. So I had to ask, “Self, What is our Government doing right this second that nobody is talking about?”. Is it Vote Manipulation? Is it Financial? Are we making deals with enemy Governments? I’m certain there are thing that the main stream media knows about that they are simply not saying, or are being told Not To Say by a Government alphabet organization.
I have learned to question everything and everyone that’s in the news.
As I’m sure you know, none of it will come out. I’ve had family in certain agencies and military groups that if they say anything even 50 years later, they wouldn’t live another week tops.
Eisenhower warned when in office of the military industrial complex. Tulsi Gabbard the same, as well as many others. Why all the wars, proxy and with US involvement? Money and power, and who knows what else. It’s kinda like a black hole, we know it’s there, but nobody seems to much about it beyond its destructive ability. I think its outskirts are what is referred to as the swamp. In reality we’re not run by government, but by a very few powerful corporations.
Seems we all may have invested in the wrong game…stocks, gold, silver what a bad move on my part. I could have been a billionaire by now, had I put all my money into the military industrial complex!
They always say, it’s never too late to start.
If the bitch gets in, I’m not running from the country, like all the celebrities, nah, I’m emptying my portfolio into the war machine.
The whole world will be on fire but me and AOC will be rolling in it! 
The only other alternative, is money laundering.
My contention has always been, the true power of news media, is not the ability to manipulate the answers. It’s the ability to control what “questions” get asked. Think about how the media ignored Biden’s mental and physical deterioration. Thats the true power of the media. They distract the “sheeple” with “bread and circuses” and ignore the inconvenient truths.
I do think the MSM has about run its course. I believe both sides think they are full of shidt.
Diehards on both sides will always believe msnbc and fox, but most folks dont.
Does anyone actially trust big bro (govt)?
Trump’s goals hopefully include the defunding and elimination of ALL these!
The representatives WE THE PEOPLE elect to represent us should be doing the work for the people they represent. NOT some anonymous buildings full of bureaucrats doing these elected coward politician’s bidding to keep them insulated from being voted out of office.
Pi$$es me off to no end!
Look the problem is that they now report their opinions not the news … Everyone knows what one slants what way … All they are really reporting on is what you want to hear to make money … When they turned the news into a money generator It ceased being news sadly… I am so glad i live in a country where you can sue these assholes for making ■■■■ up …. Soon the way things are headed, You will not because one man want to have state run media like Putin only party line ■■■■ will be broadcast …. Hey keep Fox news and CNN …… I would rather live in a country where both liers can say ■■■■ and be held accountable then in a world where i get only state news…
You said,
I saw a challenge. Discernment is a powerful tool.
That 
is/was a direct result of the Fox settlement with Dominion. News Anchors became pundits. Thus they are “delivering” opinions and not the news and opinons are protected by the 1st Amendment. News reporting is subject to defamation, slander, and libel laws. I “wonder” why they became pundits or commentators instead of Newscast Journalists?
Question first then answer. You answered your own question before you asked it.
People only read the news they want to read if it’s not they call it defamation and slander.
